s3cmd formula error

While trying to install s3cmd using brew install s3cmd, I had the following error:

==> Downloading https://downloads.sf.net/project/machomebrew/Bottles/s3cmd-1

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

Did the website stop working?

Hello,
The website says there’s “No new formula this week” but there have been 13 new ones in the past week:

$ git -C $(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core diff --name-only --diff-filter=A @{1.week.ago}..|grep -c Formula
13

21 out of 100 formulae from a random sample of the core tap don’t exist on the website.

Some of them have been available for a while (e.g. gputils has been added in 2010). Did the recent changes on the Homebrew repo location and/or the brew/homebrew-core separation break something here?

Optimise the homepage

The homepage is showing the entire list of formulae. This page could take almost a second (which is not acceptable).

Add button to open new issue in Homebrew github account when formula not found

This would ease the life, isn't it ?

Edit: Or a button to redirect in the filtered issues list of the Homebrew github repo

Request for results pagination feature on the formulas list view

This will strongly improve the UX of this web site

Pagination doesn't work for inactive formulae

Update gems

Is there a way on brewformulas to get a list of all the dependants?

For example http://brewformulas.org/Readline says "and 58 other formulas." but I want a list of what those 58 are.

Add an API description page

Following the implementation done in the issue #9, a page describing the API should be implemented with an entry in the menu.

Markdown will be used in order to render in HTML.

libmemcached formula description fetching should work

The formula libmemcached is missing the description.

Looking at the regular expression, it would work if changing it like the following:

(^.*(?:Libmemcached|libmemcached)(?:\)|\s\u2122|\s[\d\.]+|\scodec)?\s(?:is\s(?:an?|the)|(?:project\s)?provides)[\s\w\'\(\)\,\-\+\/\.\:]+\.(?:\s|$))

The updated part is added \: in the [\s\w\'\(\)\,\-\+\/\.\:]+ part of the regular expression.

Add "screenshot" / icon feature.

Might be nice to have / accumulate a "visual" representation of the packages, via their "Icon"s (if available), and maybe a screenie (if available).. obvs not appropos for *, but for some... would be a cool addition.

Update Homebrew github repo URL

Since the original Homebrew repo has been divided in 2 repos homebrew-core and https://github.com/Homebrew/brew.

Now brewformulas.org should use https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core.

Create a clickable button to be used on blogs and so on

A brewformula button pointing to the show page of the formula should be easily copy-and-pastable in forums or blog articles and so on.

Tweet new and deleted formula

When a new formula is registered or a formula is marked as delete, tweet it ! :)

Update Ruby 2.2.3 to 2.3.0

Version of IPFS formula is Unavailable

brewformulas.org/ipfs

But in the (formula) all is OK.

Add JSON API

Any chance to have a JSON API implemented?

Testing

testing

Google analytics JS file no more loaded

Since Mid of November, the Google Analytics JS file is not more loaded (since it has been moved to the vendor folder).

500 exception before first succes import

When deploying brewformulas.org on a new server, and no import has been performed yet, it's working, but as soon as the first formula is created in DB, a 500 exception occur on the home page.

This is due to the fact that the DateTime of the last import finished on success is used to calculate the percentage (using this DateTime to fetch 'active' formula, meaning formulas which have been touched after the last import finished on success).

Add support for taps

In particular https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science

A todo list for the cask implementation:

• Add an administration part where to configure the scanned Git repo
• Add in the administration part the import statuses
• Update the app in order to iterate over the homebrew and the homebrew-cask Git repo
• Update the source file link URL host based on the formula's repo URL
• Update the formula show page in order to show the source (Official or Cask)
• Update the search feature in order to include/exclude the formula from the Casks

Add a sitemap

“an Homebrew” → “a Homebrew”

“Homebrew” should be preceded by “a”, not “an”; or is it a regionalism? Do you say “an (H)omebrew” like one might say “an (h)istorian”?

Name parsing failing with an at sign

When a formula has an @ sign, the name parsing is wrong, see for example [email protected]

Show a percentage of formulas with a description

In the jumbotron show a progress bar of covered formulas with a description.

Formula analytics

In order to know which are the most popular formula an analytics widget will be added to the show page of a formula.

Let's use sublime graphics 😄

Add no follow on description refresh link

Sort by date added?

Could we sort by date created, date updated, etc?

JSON API for formula infos

Given route...

curl http://brewformulas.org/json/a52dec

return JSON like..

{
  "formula": "a52dec",
  "description": "a52dec is a test program for liba52. It decodes ATSC A/52 streams, and also includes a demultiplexer for mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 program streams.",
  "reference": "Extracted automatically from A52dec homepage",
  "homepage": "http://liba52.sourceforge.net/",
  "version": "",
  "dependencies": [
  ],
  "dependents": [
    "GstPluginsUgly",
    "GPac"
  ]
}

I'd put together a scraper... but the HTML output is pretty busy.. and it'd be nicer if the info came straight from the "official" backend. Who knows... maybe with a solid API this could even be forked into homebrew's functionality...

Thoughts?

Bootstrap container class on mobile

On the left and right sides of the page, the content of the body is directly touching the edge of the screen.

This can be fixed by adding <div class="container"> before the body elements (not including the navbar).

“Mac” is not all caps

The repo’s description is “A site web to search and discover formulas from Homebrew for MAC http://brewformulas.org”. But Mac is short for Macintosh, so it should not be spelled MAC.

I don’t think I can submit a pull request for this one, because it’s not part of the code.

Footer 'Company 2013'

In the footer, the 'Company' should be something like 'Homebrew Formulas' and it's not 2013 anymore. :)

Search by Description

The Formula search box only allows name of filename so if I search for music I only get GameMusicEmu and Libmusicbrainz. Why not search by any term present in the description so I can add a custom URL search to LaunchBar, eg. http://brewformulas.org/search?utf8=✓&search%5Bterm%5D=*&commit=Search (* = search term)?

Build on wercker failing, because of an old API call.

The build will always fail, because the call to https://coveralls.io/api/v1 fails, since it throws a HTTP 404.

{"message":"Couldn't find a repository matching this job.","error":true}

I suggest removing coveralls, or updating the settings.

Update1:
Probably has something todo with rest client and malformed data(?) I'm looking into this.

Update2:
Is this the solution for /app/controllers/application_controller.rb?

Github strategie: Update Xpath

Github has updated their HTML and now there is no p element anymore within the div repository-description.

Page loading on scroll: Showing "New" label for all formulas

On the homepage, the first 25 formulas are shown normally but then scrolling down, loading the next 25 fornulas, and they're shown as new.

Fix the Twitter button

list if recipes are in the boneyard

Might be nice to note if a certain brew is in the "boneyard" or not. For instance: http://brewformulas.org/Dsniff (either that, or allow use "comments" on each one).
Thanks!

Add description tag for documentation page

In order to improve even more the SEO, the documentation page needs to have a description tag.

Somehow synchronize with `brew-desc'

Saw the conversation on the homebrew issues page.. They left the issue unresolved. How can solve this better?

Formula description coverage progress bar broken

The progress bar is showing a result of 9416% Complete (success)

home page on pkg-config is wrong; can't figure out how to fix it

I wish I could offer a PR to fix this but I can't figure out where this bad info is coming from.
Is the homepage link coming directly from the brew formula? If so I apologize for wasting your time.

The pkg-config formula has a bad link for the homepage.

Homepage https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/pkg-config/
should be something like
Homepage https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/

Looks like freedesktop.org reorganized their site without forwarding.

Sitemap formula ne contient qu'une seule formule

Show all dependents formulas

When a formula is a dependency for other formulas, it is shown in the show page of the formula.

As of today, the 3 first dependent formulas are shown and then the amount of dependent formulas. (For example: http://brewformulas.org/Autoconf).

It would be nice to be able to click this amount in order to see then all.

terraform from brew fails to read private certs

Steps to reproduce:
brew install terraform
terraform remote state against a backend with a private certificate.

Expected results:
Process would work normally if I've brought the cert into my cert keychain

Observed results:
Process fails with cert validation.

Workaround:
Compile terraform from source on OS X directly, rather than cross-compiling, or downloading from Terraform.io

In order to improve the SEO of the project, let's use the metamagic gem for an easy tag management.

Provide link to actual formula

The Homebrew homepage says "homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts", and when I saw some instructions providing an extra command line option to one of them I thought I'd look at the script to see what that option did before installing.

Unfortunately, contrary to the brew docs, brew edit <packagename> won't work for formulas that aren't already installed, so I did a search for brew formula <packagename>, which took me to your site.

Unfortunately, despite being named "Homebrew formulas", I can't find any way to actually see the formula for the package in question. Please provide a way of seeing the formula!
