Would love to be able to install/update this with brew. Handy tool that should be spread far and wide.

I've not created a Homebrew Formula myself, which is why I'm not creating a PR ... but here's the Homebrew Formula Cookbook

Picking an example Formula at random 😀 , here's the Formula for dos2unix.

Thanks for the great tool. 👍

Hello Clay.

First of all, thanks for the good feedback. It's warmly appreciated.

A while ago I'd been thinking about brewing Endlines, checked out Homebrew's docs and guidelines, until I hit this : https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Acceptable-Formulae.md and in particular this line :

We frown on authors submitting their own work unless it is very popular.

I don't think that 22 stars on GitHub make a package "very popular" ! :) However I may try my luck. I'll just do a couple of very minor improvements for POSIX compliance before, and may submit a brew after that, and see if it's accepted.

Well well.. As much as I'd like to brew the thing, brew :

  • doesn't want people to submit their own software
  • does not work on my old OSX 10.7

And my hardware is too old to run 10.8 and above. Therefore I'll close this issue. However, if anybody likes to write a recipe, he's more than welcome ! :)
