Idea behind Rga is cool.
Anyway, I tried it on Mac and installed via Homebrew. The formula already says it depends on ripgrep (that's fine since I have ripgrep already installed and use it regularly). I still was surprised when I executed Rga for the first time and got an error message that 'pdftotext' was not found. Since pdftotext has been officially discontinued, I am not sure if I want to install an old version just to make Rga work on my machine. Don't think it's an good idea to rely on a project which is not maintained actively.
- burntsushi 6y ago> Since pdftotext has been officially discontinued Do you have a link for that? That's news to me.
- alexruf 6y agobrew info pdftotext https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/pdftotext#default https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/pdftotext#default
- burntsushi 6y agoThat looks like a problem with that specific package, and not pdftotext that is in poppler. I don't even know what that package is. It links to bluem.net?
- there_the_and 6y agoI don't see any indication that pdftotext has been discontinued [1]. It looks like a Mac-specific installer available via Homebrew Cask has been discontinued [2], but pdftotext is still available through the normal poppler formula [3]. 1. https://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html https://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html 2. https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/pdftotext https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/pdftotext 3. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/poppler https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/poppler
- phiresky 6y agoYeah, In my opinion poppler should be a dependency of rga in homebrew (since it's kinda useless without having the default adapters), but I don't maintain that package.
- sundarurfriend 6y ago^ this is the developer of rga, in case it's not clear
