# gromgit's macOS FUSE stuff
|
|
|
|
This tap exists to support macOS FUSE-related software that have been dropped from Homebrew core.
|
|
|
|
## How do I install these formulae?
|
|
|
|
First, if you've already installed FUSE formulae from the core tap _before_ they were disabled, you might _not_ want to switch over to my formulae, because:
|
|
1. As far as I know, Homebrew will not remove them from your system, even after the formulae themselves are deleted.
|
|
2. Many of these formulae are rather old, so you're unlikely to find updates anyway.
|
|
|
|
But if you _do_ want to install my formulae over the core ones, you should uninstall the latter first:
|
|
```
|
|
brew uninstall XYZ
|
|
brew install gromgit/fuse/XYZ-mac
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
`brew help`, `man brew` or check [Homebrew's documentation](https://docs.brew.sh).
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Why is XYZ not available?
|
|
|
|
Possible reasons:
|
|
1. All available versions of `XYZ` require version 3 of the libfuse API, but macFUSE only supports v2.
|
|
2. I might not have gotten around to getting it up. [File an issue](https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse/issues/new/choose) to get my attention. 😀
|
|
|
|
### Why is XYZ so old?
|
|
|
|
Possible reasons:
|
|
1. Current `XYZ` requires libfuse v3, so I found and bottled the last version that requires libfuse v2.
|
|
2. `XYZ` was abandoned by its authors. If you know of a revived fork of such software, [file an issue](https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse/issues/new/choose) with the details and I'll see what can be done.
|
|
3. I might not have gotten around to updating it yet. [File an issue](https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse/issues/new/choose) to get my attention. 😀

|
|
### Why is your formula called `XYZ-mac`?
|
|
|
|
To avoid a naming conflict with the formula called `XYZ` that still exists in Homebrew core.
|
|
|
|
### Why is the XYZ _program_ installed as `XYZ-mac`?
|
|
|
|
`brew info gromgit/fuse/XYZ-mac` and read the _Caveats_ section.
