Any program is only as good as it is useful. – Linus Torvalds
brewchecker is a tool for checking Homebrew packages' availability, written in Python.
It downloads latest Homebrew
sources to temporary folder,
scans
`Formula <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/tree/master/Library/Formula>`__
folder for formulas, parse every of them, and tries to download every
package, patch, etc from 'stable' section.
Output of this script is JSON document with statuses of all Formulas' resources.
You must have libcurl library installed, and follow VCS binaries in
PATH:
githgbzr(currently not used by Homebrew, but we have to support it)cvssvnfossil
On OS X you can get all this by using Homebrew
brew install git hg bzr cvs svn fossil curlTo install brewchecker use following command:
pip install https://github.com/mktums/brewchecker/releases/download/v0.2.1/brewchecker-0.2.1.tar.gzgit clone https://github.com/mktums/brewcheckerIn most cases you will want to run it as
