History

Originally based off of work done amar1729's homebrew tap. That tap has been updated to support libguestfs 1.50.0 (current version as of summer 2023 is 1.51).

Building libguestfs inside Homebrew is a bit of a pain, due to differences in the macOS build as well as certain homebrew restrictions over time (e.g. removing the osxfuse formula in early 2021) so this tap will try to include previous versions of libguestfs as well as the current version (as libguestfs.rb).
