New issue 30 by ori...@gmail.com: Tag releases or update mac homebrew
installation instructions
http://code.google.com/p/google-js-test/issues/detail?id=30

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. homebrew google-js-test
2. no formula found

A few months ago, Homebrew separated projects without tagged version
releases to a different non-default "tap":
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-headonly

Installing from this tap is a little more complicated.

Some possible approaches:
* update the homebrew installation instructions to:
** brew tap homebrew/headonly
** brew install --HEAD re2
** brew install --HEAD google-js-test
* tag versioned releases and have Homebrew move the formulae back to the
Homebrew core

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for the report.

Could you help with some context on the homebrew change? gjstest has tags in
its git repo and it has stable tarballs, and the latter was used in the
homebrew formula, complete with a hash to confirm it hadn't changed.

So I'm confused what the requirements are. Is there documentation somewhere?
The README on the link in your post doesn't explain what it means to be
head-only and how you escape that ghetto.

I think the issue was with its re2 dependency, as I guess re2 isn't tagged.  Here's a Github issue I created on the Homebrew repo:

Thanks. I'm happy to do the work lifting gjstest back into the main repo if
somebody is willing to file and push through an issue on the re2 end? :-)

Oops, that looked weird didn't it? I was replying to an off-list mail that
said the problem was with the re2 dependency, since re2 has no tags.

That was me. I'd left a note about the re2 issue over in a Google group
thread, and I guess it automatically cross-posted here. In any case, I
went ahead and created an issue on the re2 project:
