I was surprised to see there was no homebrew recipe for 6.3.0 yet and no open PR so I set about creating a PR myself. I ran into some issues with brew audit --strict and, after some digging, found this is why there is no 6.3.0 recipe.
If you are on Mac and want to upgrade, I hope this saves you some time!
6.4 just released - is homebrew support abandoned, or its something that you still have hope/plans to support? Is there another recommended install method for OSX?
Briefly, the x-pack folder is integrated into our build scripts for some of the projects (if not all, I can’t check right now) so removing it at build time or providing a source tarball without the x-pack folder would not be possible at this time.
But considering there is an OSS build available from that page which also has installers for different platforms (win/deb/rpm - just not mac), I find that answer lacking.
So I return to my previous question:
is homebrew support abandoned, or its something that you still have hope/plans to support? Is there another recommended install method for OSX?
