Notes

Initial Formula was setup like this

brew create https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

this created /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/scimax.rb

I moved it to ./Formula/scimax.rb, and have edited it extensively.

See the ./makefile for useful build commands.

build notes

an issue with the zip file is it is not a git clone, so the submodules do not work right.

I figured out how to get the git repo, working. it requires head, and might make versioning trickier later. Maybe I can do something with tags.

This /usr/local/Cellar/scimax/HEAD-7c147b0

update user files

These should be moved to something like ~/.emacs.d/scimax or ~/.config/scimax, or some user-defined space (I guess by env-var?).
