Research direction
The five steps span two repositories, so start by mapping this repo: the release/tag setup, the packaging config (pyproject/setup files), and the built-in updater's entry point that must detect a brew install and stand down. Then read the splunk/homebrew-tap repo structure and the Formula Cookbook links given in the issue to see what a formula and its sha256 pin require. Done means a formula exists in the tap, a GitHub Actions workflow updates its hash on each release, and brew upgrade alone drives updates for brew-managed installs.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Add support for installing via homebrew, these are the high level things that will need to be done, from my understanding:
- Cut versioned releases/tags so a formula has something stable to pin (url+sha256); a head block can track main in the meantime.
- Allow brew to manage the update lifecycle — the built-in updater needs to detect/disable itself under a brew install and defer entirely to brew upgrade, or we'll have two update systems fighting.
- Host it in our splunk tap https://github.com/splunk/homebrew-tap rather than homebrew-core first — core has strict stability/notability bars this project doesn't need to clear yet.
- Write the formula and commit to the splunk tap.
- Setup github actions to auto update the hashes in the splunk tap on each release.
