[jodygarnett]

Please answers the following

I've...

• I read
  • the reporting issues
  • the troubleshooting
• I checked the documentation and found no answer
• I tried to install after following the suggestions
• I am running the latest version (brew update twice?)
• I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed
• I uploaded logs: brew gist-logs formula

Visiting readme.md instructions:

Just brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac and then brew install <formula>. Easy, isn't it?

The first step brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac fails with many invalid formula etc...

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'README.md'

Expected behavior

Expected to see osgeo added to list for brew tap.

This ticket has not had a response from a developer; there is no reason for a stale bot to clean it up.

@jodygarnett Facing the same issue, any update or workaround?

[jodygarnett]

No response so far, I think I was focused on troubleshooting a geosever configuration and had to switch over to a linux docker image.

Looks to be related to #1410

I expect brew changed something and these bottles need to be updated

[jodygarnett]

Looking up for other examples of the error message and I found Homebrew/discussions#2429

The syntax of the formula you're trying to install is too old to work with the installed version of brew. You can remove the bottle do block and see if you get any further.

So yeah this issue has been reported for a number of years with no action; I would consider this project inactive.

Well that's disappointing....
