Releasing kops to Brew

Submitting a new release of kops to Homebrew is very simple.

From a homebrew machine

brew edit kops will open an editor on your machine to edit the formula. Make the following changes:

• Update the URL variable to the tar.gz of the new release source code
• Update the sha256 variable to SHA256 checksum of the new tar.gz

If we change how dependencies work or if we make the install require something other than a simple make, we'll need to update the commands

Test that Homebrew formula works

brew uninstall kops && brew install kops will install the new version. Test and make sure that the new release works.

Audit the Homebrew formula

brew audit --strict --online will output any code that that doesn't meet the Homebrew standards.

Send a commit to the Homebrew repo

Rather than repeating documentation that might change, head over to Homebrew documentation for directions and conventions.

The formula can be found in hacks/brew/kops.rb.
