elfchen, > All gst-* GStreamer plugins are now bundled in this formula. from: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/gstreamer

and it looks like the other issues you're experiencing on MacOS (regarding GLib) have just been fixed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/4167 now we wait for the next release :)

cal0pteryx: thanks, good idea to put all these same strings into a single common place

I wonder why we did not do that earlier

but then again, the code base is pretty large

It is, I wonder by how much it could be reduced with some refactoring w/o loosing functionality, readibility and extensibility. ✏

Less code ~ less bugs

elfchen, would you be able someday to create a homebrew formula? This would make it possible for people to install Gajim by typing just one command, instead of the many you have to do every time.

It should be mostly a matter of listing the correct dependencies and writing your commands as a Ruby script.

Link Mauve: afaik this was once rejected by homebrew people, because gajim is not a library

You can host the recipe/package on a different website just fine, you could have a homebrew repository at gajim.org for instance.

But they also provide many things which aren’t libraries.

For instance: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/pidgin

I happen to have submitted a few Homebrew formulas. Yeah, it cannot be a formula but needs to be a cask because of the GUI. Generally doable but definitely not a simple task. Not something I have much time for but would be a good idea rather than trying to build a Mac binary. I'll try and play around with that and we'll see how much effort it takes.

Pidgin is ancient and might predate Homebrew casks. I am sure that wouldn't be accepted in that form anymore these days.

What is a cask?

Or then I don't know what I am talking about and casks are for Mac binaries: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask

Well, either way, I'll try to find some time in the coming months and figure out what can be done with Homebrew.

elfchen: much appreciated

elfchen: the last attempt here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/40218/commits/b1cb06d

👍🏻

Pity that never happened. I had similar requests and added a few simple tests and they were happy. But looks like a good base to start from.
