brew install builds instead of using binary

[vogler]

The binary under releases works on my M1, why is it not used for brew install?
I don't want all the rust deps on this machine.

Oh, interesting that it works on M1! I assume it's running under Rosetta.

The reason it's not automatic is because I haven't configured a proper multi-platform build system and instead build & upload binaries manually when I release. Not ideal, of course, but the fallback does allow for installation on unsupported platforms, though as you said it requires the Rust dependencies.

I'm open to reviewing PRs to address this, but I probably won't have a chance to improve the build pipeline myself in the near term.... 😅

I don't know about Rosetta, I think whenever I ran some binary compiled for amd64 it didn't work, just noticed it work for casks/apps.

A quick search for GitHub Actions gave me this:

• multi-arch rust build: https://blog.urth.org/2023/03/05/cross-compiling-rust-projects-in-github-actions/
• upload to homebrew: https://github.com/Homebrew/actions/blob/master/post-build/action.yml, https://extrawurst.medium.com/github-actions-homebrew-%EF%B8%8F-2789ae5023fd

Prob. won't try though since so far I never used Rust and never released anything on Homebrew 😅
