tinc - Jan 2019 - 1.1~pre17 is no longer available for OSX from Homebrew.

Hey Folks,


It seems that Homebrew for some reason arbitrarily decided to banish all
of the --devel flavors from all of their installable packages.  I
couldn't find any discussion as to why or what they intend to replace
the function with.


**update;  this is where they decided to do this;
https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/5060#issuecomment-428149176


But in the meantime, 1.1pre17 is not installable from homebrew after
running 'brew update'

For the time being however, I was able to revert their package file to
an older version to get access to their 1.1pre17 option.


cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core
git log Formula/tinc    ( identify a good previous commit
f97064665e198bbb4606bb387c4424dc1cdb4716 )
git checkout f97064665e198bbb4606bb387c4424dc1cdb4716 Formula/tinc.rb

Now I can install the devel flavor

brew install tinc --devel


Jus' sayin.

I created an issue on github to query this,  this is what they've said
after removing their -devel option for 1.1:


ref: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/5652

...  We won't add a |tinc at 1.1.rb| if it's not a stable release.
Please
encourage upstream to release a new stable version.
