Description Maarten Fonville 2025-07-01 22:12:26 UTC
SUMMARY
It would be very welcome to include KDE Connect in homebrew.
It is understood that for Mac OS the developers want users to use "master" builds, instead of tagged releases.

But homebrew relies on that exitings builds are not instantly purged if a newer "master" release build is uploaded
See pull request for homebrew here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/217575

A solution would be to please do tag builds for release, or to archive/copy builds to a reliable and trustworthy location where the are not instantly purged when a new release is available.
