Add to package managers

[WindsorMiguel]

Can this get added to pacman/AUR/homebrew

[superstarryeyes]

yeah, i think it's a good idea if there's interest.

if someone wants to take initiative here, i'd appreciate it.

the only thing i ask is to keep the package name consistent, i suggest:

"bitfont"

...since "bit" is most probably taken everywhere.

If I may add to the distribution wishlist - please add precompiled binaries for the lazy of us 🙂

Hey @superstarryeyes, awesome tool. Thanks for making it.
If you'd like, I'm happy to add support for releasing pre-built binaries through GitHub releases (kinda like this), and homebrew.

Let me know.

hey @dhth, thanks for the offer. really appreciate it!

i think i might finally have some time to tackle this, and since i'm on a learning journey, it'd be good to try and figure this out myself first. i'll ping you if i get distracted.

Of course, go for it :)

ok, i think (and hope) the binaries for the new 0.2.0 built correctly. i can't test them on linux or windows, so let me know if they work.

i haven't added bit to homebrew yet, but that should probably happen next. i think bit might be eligible for homebrew/core, so this needs to be raised in the homebrew repo. if anyone feels like doing that, go ahead.

same goes for pacman/aur. i have no experience with those, so if someone wants to handle them, you're welcome.

and the package name should be "bitfont" since "bit" is probably taken.

If you still need help publishing it in the AUR, I can take care of that task. Although someone is already uploading it to the AUR, I think it would be a good idea to put it in the README.
