Any formula that gets removed you can continue to maintain in your own tap (third-party GitHub repository, https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap.html https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap.html). https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4721 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4721 explains what needs to be done. If you want to avoid your workflow being disrupted: chip in and help; we're giving you plenty of warning.
- trebor 9y agoI understand that. However, if I had time to contribute to homebrew, I would have by now. I definitely do not have the time to maintain a tap and keep its packages up to date. I'm glad y'all gave enough warning, but that doesn't make me any less frustrated by the decision.
- mikemcquaid 9y agoSure, I understand your frustration. Similarly I hope you can see that it's frustrating for us when we make it very easy for people to help themselves and they don't try to do so because they are too busy. You have a job, we have jobs and most of Homebrew's work happens outside people's jobs.
