This is a Homebrew Tap for the GlobalPlatform C library and GPShell command line shell.

Please read also the manual of GPShell if you are interested in the command line or use the installed man page with man gpshell under Unix like systems. There are several script examples available. See the .txt files or look into the local file systems under (/usr/ | /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/) share/doc/gpshell1/.

Consult the API documentation if you are planning to use this as a library.

brew install kaoh/globalplatform/globalplatform

Or brew tap kaoh/globalplatform and then brew install globalplatform.

For Linux also look at the instructions at Homebrew on Linux

homebrew on MacOS has problems when installing the project due to problems of the unsatisfied GHC dependency. This seems to be a requirement of the homebrew build system and as long as no upstream support is available use this workaround:

arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/brew install kaoh/globalplatform/globalplatform

The Homebrew version of pcsc-lite is not a fully functional version. It is missing the USB drivers and is also not started as a system service.

The distribution's version of pcscd should be installed:

Ubuntu/Debian:

    apt-get install pcscd

Fedora:

    sudo dnf install ccid pcsc-lite
    sudo systemctl enable pcscd
    sudo systemctl start pcscd

RedHat:

    yum install pcsc-lite pcsc-lite-ccid pcsc-lite-libs

Arch Linux:

        pacman -S ccid    
        systemctl enable pcsclite
        systemctl start pcsclite

Consult your distribution for any other steps, e.g. to enable pcsc-lite as a service if this was forgotten by the package maintainer and is not included here already.

If the version of pcsc-lite does not match the version of your system you might get:

establish_context failed with error 0x8010001D (Service not available.)

In this case the Homebrew's version must be unlinked if there is no chance to upgrade your distribution's version. The background of this error is a change in the internal protocol version e.g. between versions 1.9.0 and 1.8.x.

To check the version compare the versions with:

sudo $(brew --prefix pcsc-lite)/sbin/pcscd --version
sudo pcscd --version

Under Linux the Homebrew version of pcsc-lite must be unlinked:

    brew remove --ignore-dependencies pcsc-lite

NOTE: This will remove the version, in case other package are requiring it they will also fallback to the distribution's version. If pcsc-lite is reinstalled this step must be repeated if there still is an internal protocol version mismatch.

The formulae is referencing a tag version.

Go to the globalplatform sources and tag it:

git tag 2.4.0
git push origin 2.4.0

It might be necessary to delete and recreate this tag during the release of a new beta version in a beta formulae:

git tag -d 2.4.0
git push --delete origin 2.4.0

At first it is necessary to update the used tagged Globalplatform version in the formula file.

It is also occasionally necessary to update the Ruby code in the formulae and to check if in the meanwhile the brew build system added some breaking changes requiring to update the formulae code. Unfortunately this is happening periodically.

# Deletes the tap to have a clean state
brew remove globalplatform
brew untap kaoh/globalplatform
brew tap kaoh/globalplatform

# MacOS:
cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform
# Linux:
cd /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew/Library/Taps/kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform/
# make your necessary fixes
# update the tag to the required version in the url
brew audit --strict --online globalplatform

Since Homebrew might have used a HTTPs URL or a different git user for the checkout it will be required to use the git protocol instead to commit any changes:

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform
git commit -a -m ...
git push origin master

The blog on https://jonathanchang.org/blog/maintain-your-own-homebrew-repository-with-binary-bottles/ describes how to create bottles for own taps.

Because Bintray has shut down its service, now GitHub is used directly.

A Docker instance can be used for running the bottling command.

docker rm brew
docker pull homebrew/ubuntu18.04
docker run -it --name=brew homebrew/ubuntu18.04
mkdir build
cd build

Homebrew can be directly executed in MacOS.

NOTE: For testing the installation later the Homebrew cellar and tap must be removed again to have a clean environment.

The test-bot is used for creating the bottle inside the started environment.

# Deletes the tap to have a clean state
brew remove globalplatform
brew untap kaoh/globalplatform
brew test-bot --root-url=https://github.com/kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform/releases/download/2.4.0 --tap=kaoh/globalplatform kaoh/globalplatform/globalplatform

Adjust the release tag at the end of the root-url option.

NOTE: If the GlobalPlatform tag had been deleted and recreated with the same name the cache of Homebrew must be cleared. A clean docker image can be started or the cache can be deleted with:

rm -rf $(brew --cache)/globalplatform--git
brew remove globalplatform
brew untap kaoh/globalplatform

The updated formulaes from Linux and MacOS must be merged together. The git repository in the Linux Docker container is /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew/Library/Taps/kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform. Under MacOS the location is /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform.

Extract the sha256 attribute from the globalplatform--2.4.0.x86_64_linux.bottle.json file and insert it into the formula.

Example:

   bottle do
     root_url "https://github.com/kaoh/homebrew-globalplatform/releases/download/2.4.0"
     sha256 cellar: :any, catalina: "23f4a097e12cacbf3a1ecc6de002bb8a6b1965ab9c93702ace2af78270f148d5"
     sha256 cellar: :any_skip_relocation, x86_64_linux: "1e3523c6a7bbc4fb9bb64dfe76227a290a6871a33be380f129b128e1a7b2a129"
   end

Check the correctness of the edit:

brew style Formula/globalplatform.rb

Formatting problems can be fixed with:

brew style --fix Formula/globalplatform.rb

The created bottle file (.bottle.tar.gz) must be collected. If not explicitly intended rename the ending bottle.1.tar.gz to just bottle.tar.gz. In general the naming ist bottle.<revision>.tar.gz. For revision 0 <revision>. is empty. If a previous bottle of the same version exist the name will include a new revision.

Push the updated formula and tag the master or working branch:

git commit -a -m ...
git push origin master
git tag 2.4.0
git push origin 2.4.0

Create now a new release in GitHub for the tag.

Copy the build bottle to the current directory:

docker cp brew:/home/linuxbrew/build/. .

In the release section of this repository upload the tar.gz files. Replace the double -- by just one -.

In case the compilation with brew test-bot gives errors in can be helpful to get an interactive shell where the created build directory under /tmp is not deleted. Use the interactive mode in this case, analyze the error and try to fix the sources or build configuration.

brew install --verbose --build-bottle kaoh/globalplatform/globalplatform --interactive
