Today, I’d like to announce Homebrew 5.0.0. The most significant changes since 4.6.0 are download concurrency by default, official support for Linux ARM64/AArch64, timescales for deprecating macOS Intel and removing macOS Gatekeeper bypass behaviours.
Shame on you, Homebrew, for effectively killing FOSS apps from casks.
Yes, but you can still compile the code yourself. It’s only problematic for binary distribution. This is basically a question of balancing security vs. freedom I suppose.
How will these other solutions bypass Apples quarantine?
By doing what homebrew currently does when you pass the
--no-quarantineflag, which is callxattr.Note that I’d probably support removing
--no-quarantineif Apple’s notarization service was free.Notarisation, free (as in beer) limits your ability to run your code that (Corporate) doesn’t like, making it inherently non free (as in freedom).
