Gavin commented on FOR-1244:
----------------------------

Just noting here the new location for the Forrest homebrew config :-

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/apache-forrest.rb

Also noting that is looks like we did end up providing a fat tar as in :

http://archive.apache.org/dist/forrest/0.9/apache-forrest-0.9.tar.gz

Homebrew doesn't handle the two-tar-file structure of your distribution very well. Can you publish a "fat-tar" file that combines the contents of both, in addition to the two independent ones?

-------------------------------------

Ah, no. That is the original convenience archive of the original 0.9 release.

We re-released later with two separate archives (the "*-sources.tar.gz" and the "*-dependencies.tar.gz" which are the [A] and [B] referred to above) as can be seen on our Downloads page and in that Homebrew formula.

We did not follow through as explained in the comment above to provide a new combined file [C].

This message today tries to summarise the history:
