Kakoune: Plans for preparing the next release

[grtlr]

Are there any plans to create a new release of Kakoune that package managers like brew can pick up?

The last release was back in January, and as far as I can tell quite some things have changed in the meantime.

I don't think there are releases, this is a rolling editor.

I'm very sure, that there are releases: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/releases.

You're correct. I don't know then. I don't know. Take it up with your manager. What is this? A charitable organization?

If I type kak -version it returns Kakoune v2019.06.14

Here is a link to the PR which adds a reference to HEAD to homebrew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/40982

If there is a new release of Kakoune on GitHub (@Luflosi provided the link) I can push the necessary changes.

GitHub releases can be created by contributors using git tags.

09:35 < mawww_imc> Next release is soon, I want to finish and merge the register-based-history branch first

We can probably close this now.

@grtlr or someone, can you update the formula with Homebrew? it's still on the 2019.01 release so lots of things (like plug.kak) don't work. I gave it a shot but brew bump-formula-pr is broken for me atm.

I might be able to take a look at it sometimes this week. Up until then you can install the nightly version of Kakoune using:

 brew install kakoune --HEAD -s

I'm no longer using Homebrew.
