Error during installation of spread-versioning

[pierredup]

I'm getting the following error when doing brew install spread-versioning

could not determine kind of name for C.GIT_MERGE_TREE_FIND_RENAMES
could not determine kind of name for C.git_merge_tree_flag_t

Here is the full log file

This is because the latest Homebrewed libgit2 is 0.24.1 and spread only works with 0.23.4.

That's how you can overcome this temporarily:

cd /usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/
git show f1e8599fbbb6334808b88c91ae02b88a78f169dc:Formula/libgit2.rb > Formula/libgit2.rb
brew install spread-versioning
git reset --hard

NOTE: if you're running macOS Sierra the path is a little different.

You'll want to use:

cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core

@aramkarapetian my guess is it got rebased away or something? I put the contents up as a gist for you.

You should be able to use the following:

cd /usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/
curl -Lo Formula/libgit2.rb https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cphrmky/4a1c4093964aa73e960abe188a61d090/raw/0a4878898b51a6c2b5602ca2ddac0ee41670b4b6/libgit2.rb
brew install spread-versioning
git reset --hard
