This builds a package for RHEL to ensure that linuxbrew is installed correctly even without the cURLed script on the homepage

Nice work so far! Some questions:

• does this produce the exact same output as e.g. install.sh? I guess I wonder if we could start unifying some code so that this could e.g. call build and install functions from that script perhaps?
• is this useful as a standalone package without a RPM repository (or whatever they are called)?

It is the goal to make it the same, similar to how the macOS pkg works.

Yes, although a repo would be even more useful so we can distribute updates like this. But that's out of scope for now.

Unsubscribing from thread for now but shout when non-draft/green CI @SMillerDev.

Error: Need to download https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula.jws.json but cannot as root! Run brew update without sudo first then try again.

Any suggestions how to fix that one, preferably short of creating a new user in the container to run the whole process under?

I guess I have to make a user 😞

Still on my todo list, sonoma release got in the way

@SMillerDev Could I make a suggestion for a more modern approach? packit helps maintain both upstream and downstream tasks like building in copr and running upstream tests, and making pull-requests downstream.

[SMillerDev]

@LecrisUT I'm not sure how that would look like for Homebrew, but sure I'd review a PR for it.

Ok, I've open a quick PR for it in #16164. I haven't addressed the actual design of the .spec file so there are some build issues, but I can come back to it this weekend if needed

Okay, let's continue there
