Thank you for the suggestion. We are already publishing builds of BeagleIM at GitHub in the releases, see https://github.com/tigase/beagle-im/releases.

It looks like someone tried to submit Beagle in the past, and was rejected for having <50 GitHub stars. ??

A couple of comments @michaelblyons:

• both BeagleIM and Homebrew are opensource so everyone can submit PR
• "A self-submitted app from a GitHub repository that is not notable enough (under 50 stars)." - it seems it would be better if the app would be submitted NOT by Tigase team (self-submission inclusion)
• it seems that if you want it submitted to Homberew then it would be awesome to promote it more and encourage your friends, buddies and contacts to start it on github (we wouldn't mind doing it also for our other projects: iOS SiskinIM, Tigase XMPP Server, Android StorkIM :-)

Both BeagleIM and Homebrew are open source so everyone can submit PR.

That is true. I didn't know until yesterday that it is fine to submit someone else's project to Homebrew.

As for Beagle itself, I haven't done very much MacOS platform work, but I might try to write something. ??‍♂ I'm using MacOS because I have to, not because I want to.

That makes sense, but unless @joschi is a member of your team, that didn't seem to make a difference with his/her PR.

Haha, maybe. There are very few users on my server, and they don't use MacOS. I'll see what I can do, though.

In the meantime, I may create a "Tap" (basically an unofficial Homebrew supplement) and add Beagle to it, unless you would like to do so here.

Lastly, congratulations for making a good-looking, OMEMO-supporting MacOS XMPP client.

@michaelblyons I am not. ??

@woj-tek Would it make sense for Tigase to maintain a custom tap for installing BeagleIM and maybe Tigase XMPP Server on macOS via Homebrew? I'm happy to provide the cask for BeagleIM (the one from Homebrew/homebrew-cask#75450).

We could create and maintain Tap ourselves, though I fear that it could hinder future inclusion of Beagle in main hombrew repository (once it meets acceptance criteria) with the notion that "it already has a tap"

@joschi would you consider making PR to this repository: https://github.com/tigase/homebrew-tigase ? I wasn't sure that you saying "I'm happy to provide the cask for BeagleIM" implied that you were OK with I grabbing and adding it to the repository myself :-)

I stole @joschi's, made a Tap, and bumped it to the latest. I can just transfer the repo to you. (You'll have to edit the README.md)

https://github.com/michaelblyons/homebrew-tigase

@michaelblyons ok, let's do it that way - I renamed the repository freeing namespace

Ack! I can't do a transfer if I can't create repos in your org. ?? Maybe rename yours back, HTTPS-clone mine, and push. (Yours should be canonical, not a fork ??)

Otherwise, add me to the org and kick me out in ten minutes.

Looks good!

@woj-tek Sorry for the mix up. I thought you would use the repository created by @michaelblyons, which included my original Homebrew formula, as a starting point.

Thanks both for taking care of this! ??

Thank you (both) for suggesting and contributing ??

Congrats on 50 stars.

I wonder if that would be enough to re-submit it. Though, I'd say that Beagle's own tap is working just fine.
