You implied that the headline was lying by omission because the 29 formulae that were removed are still available as Casks. So where exactly are any single one of the 29 Casks?
- ggm 5y agoOk. My bad. I assumed the casks included the upper layers. So, the casks of 29 fuse layers are gone. Are they now impossible to install? The point of casks for osxfuse and Macfuse being to permit the layers to work. Aside from complexity, what's the actual problem? Do you believe these specific fs can't be made eg by hand?
- soraminazuki 5y agoThe removed packages would now have to be built from source. They are fully open source projects developed independently of macFUSE. As such, these projects now have no place in Homebrew because they're not eligible for Casks either. So installing them would mean no support from Homebrew. No binary builds, no automatic updates, none of the fixes that package managers often apply to make software install cleanly. The removed packages were quite popular too according to Homebrew's opt-out analytics[1] and included things like ntfs-3g, sshfs, ext4fuse, and encfs.
