Homebrew formula for kalibrate-hackrf

[rxseger]

Instead of https://github.com/scateu/kalibrate-hackrf/blob/master/INSTALL.homebrew manual instruction steps, why not submit a formula to homebrew-core so installation is simple as brew install kalibrate-hackrf?

I started one here: https://github.com/rxseger/homebrew-hackrf/blob/master/kalibrate-hackrf.rb - it is not in the main homebrew-core repo, so it has to be tapped:

brew tap rxseger/homebrew-hackrf
brew install kalibrate-hackrf

also it uses https://github.com/rxseger/kalibrate-hackrf instead of https://github.com/scateu/kalibrate-hackrf primarily for #8, but this could be changed.

And it doesn't fully follow the homebrew formula cookbook rules yet. The main blocker seems to kalibrate-hackrf would need a "stable release", e.g. a version tag, instead of only the git development 'master' branch:

Stable versions
Formulae in the core repository must have a stable version tagged by the upstream project. Tarballs are preferred to git checkouts, and tarballs should include the version in the filename whenever possible.

Software that only provides a development/beta, tagged version should be put in homebrew/devel-only. We don’t accept software without a tagged version because they regularly break due to upstream changes; we can’t provide bottles for them; and we don’t have an automatic update mechanism for head-only formulae which makes them very quickly outdated.

would you be willing to make an official "release" of kalibrate-hackrf for this purpose?

Hi Robert,

It's a great pleasure to see that this project works for you. But I am
currently some kind of busy, and there is not enough time for me to
submit a pull request for homebrew-core repo or do other kind of
maintainance work.

I have added you as a collaborator of this project. You can push your
changes directly into this repo, and do what you need to make this project
more useful for other people.

Thanks.

It seems that you have to confirm my invitation at some where.

Issues to resolve before publishing 1.0:

• Add documentation based on http://thre.at/kalibrate (2013)  #12 - add documentation (done)
• Is it right (wildly inconsistent results on different channels, e.g. -33.570 ppm vs 38.369 ppm) #6 - calibration error
