Depends on #230744. Github was misinterpreting file deletion as a rename leading to CI failures. Hence I had to raise my changes on a separate branch.

  • Have you followed the guidelines for contributing?
  • Have you ensured that your commits follow the commit style guide?
  • Have you checked that there aren't other open pull requests for the same formula update/change?
  • Have you built your formula locally with HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source <formula>, where <formula> is the name of the formula you're submitting?
  • Is your test running fine brew test <formula>, where <formula> is the name of the formula you're submitting?
  • Does your build pass brew audit --strict <formula> (after doing HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source <formula>)? If this is a new formula, does it pass brew audit --new <formula>?

Why do we need to rename the formula? The project still seems to be called genai-toolbox.

It's an ask from the repo maintainers. They have plans of renaming the project to mcp-toolbox.

We can do that when they do, otherwise it's just confusing. We can add an alias though

@SMillerDev, all of their docs seem to be using the terminology mcp-toolbox or toolbox. Is creating an alias same as creating a new formula for the same artifact?

No, it just allows users to address the same formula by an additional name.

The guidance from https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-homebrew-core-Maintainer-Guide#naming says (emphasis mine):

Choose a name that’s the most common name for the project. For example, we initially chose objective-caml but we should have chosen ocaml. Choose what people say to each other when talking about the project.

Fair enough and makes sense. I'm going to open a separate PR to rename this properly and we'll get it merged.

Seems fine to me, but maybe it might be better to wait given https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/230824/files#r2223322339
