MacOS binaries

@squell

Could you please provide binaries for MacOS :)

Thank you very much!

What would be the preferred way of doing that? Do you want to install it using Homebrew, MacPorts, or just a plain tarball?

I've never owned a Mac, so I will need to ask someone else to do it.

Oh okay
I don't know too 😅

The best thing would be provide a plain tarball. Then Homebrew and other systems can just download that into your local cache and extract where needed and symlink for easy CLI access.

As long as someone can figure out how to provide a tarball for MacOS cleanly, package managers can work off of it.

any news? i really like to use this on my mac ;)

I've added a id3-080macOS.zip to the release download page. That is just a flat zip file in similar vein as the Windows binary distribution (except it also comes with a man page). Not sure if that is what you want.

Obviously a Homebrew/Fink/MacPorts (whatever is best-supported) package would be nicer, I guess, but I'm really not the best person to create that at the moment.

The good news is, I now have a Mac myself so in the future this problem will be solved :-)
