Feature request - add tools gnutls gnupg gnu-getopt tree

[jkoppenol]

Hi, I just installed another package from Homebrew, and I noticed that some more gnu or common linux tools are available which are not "featured" in this nice project:

######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Installing dependencies for pass: gnu-getopt, ... , tree ... ==> Installing pass dependency: gnu-getopt ==> Pouring gnu-getopt-2.36.1.catalina.bottle.tar.gz ... ==> Installing pass dependency: gnutls ==> Pouring gnutls-3.6.15.catalina.bottle.tar.gz ... ==> Installing pass dependency: gnupg ==> Pouring gnupg-2.2.27.catalina.bottle.tar.gz ... ==> Installing pass dependency: tree ==> Pouring tree-1.8.0.catalina.bottle.tar.gz

Can these be added to the scripts?

I'll consider this. A change like this means I should probably also rename this from "linuxify" to "gnuify"

It's more than just GNU stuff though. So I think it's more prescriptive about that it's being more like Linux as opposed to just straight GNU.

I agree with Ben,. Adding the GNU stuff I requested is good, but renaming it he project is overdoing it. Regards, Jeffrey

Anyone want to send a PR for this? :)

Hello, I just recently found this project and it's quite nice.

For this feature, I would caution that things like gnupg can be touchy.

For instance, brew's gnupg package is version 2.3
The gnupg@2.2 package is the 'stable' version. From the 2.3 release notes:

Although some bugs might linger in the 2.3 versions, they are intended
to replace the 2.2 series.  2.3 may even be used for production purposes
if either the risk of minor regressions is acceptable or the new
features are important.

I bring this up because I use gnupg@2.2 daily in connection with my yubikeys. I have not had the bandwidth to figure out the issues with ssh key forwarding from the gnupg daemon yet. There are enough moving parts that it's not top of mind.

If this were to blindly install gnupg then that would make this guide near impossible to follow:

There are ways to work around this, env vars, command line opts, etc but those all add complexity. All I'm saying is that there are issues here to consider before just going down the simple, obvious and wrong path :)

Thanks for poniting this out @jstelzer !
Perhaps it's wise to verify this for all sensitive packages (like gnupg, libressl, openssh, etc)
