Create new homebrew formula (for 01a1)?

Authoring Dialog

I’ve attempted to contact vikio about homebrew-dialog/Formula/dialog-if.rb at master · vickio/homebrew-dialog · GitHub .

So far, no response. I think we should create an official formula and maintain it in the Dialog-IF · GitHub organization.

TIL that GitHub is not case sensitive; GitHub - Dialog-IF/dialog: The community-maintained fork of the Dialog programming language for interactive fiction. works as well.

We should be able to copy vikio’s formula, update it, and host it as brew install dialog-if/brew/dialog.

I’m looking into the implications of there being two different formulas for the “same” content; I think Homebrew does handle this.

A little research (with Claude) shows taht Formula can have a conflicts_with to indicate that you should get rid of the old (vickio) one before installing the new (dialog-if) one.

I’m all in favor! It would be nice to also have a formula for the Å-machine tools once the next release of those is ready; then people can get the up-to-date versions from the same place.
