Add to package managers like homebrew

[nitrocode]

Would be nice to install this using a package managers

brew install iam-policy-json-to-terraform
choco install iam-policy-json-to-terraform
scoop install iam-policy-json-to-terraform

Thanks!

Agreed, this would be very helpful! Unfortunately, has a policy against self-submitting so I might need some help submitting this:

We frown on authors submitting their own work unless it is very popular.

As for choco and scoop, those are windows package managers, correct? I haven't touched windows systems in years so I'm probably not the right person to work on this, help would be much appreciated though!

Cool, I can help with this since I've submitted stuff to all 3. If I don't do it in a week, just comment this thread and make insulting comments and I'll eventually do it 💀 😂

[flosell]

Awesome, thanks! Let me know if you need any help!

hey, @nitrocode any progress on this?

[pascal-hofmann]

Hey @nitrocode, any update on this?

[nitrocode]

Hi everyone. Looking at this today. To make the test for the homebrew formula, it would be ideal if this tool had a --version or -v switch that returned its version.

Edit: I'd like to emulate the terraform landscape tool test formula

Edi2:

Also, @flosell how do I compile this locally? I extracted the contents and I'm getting this issue

$ go build
iam-policy-json-to-terraform.go:7:2: cannot find package "github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter" in any of:
	/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.13.6/libexec/src/github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/user/go/src/github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter (from $GOPATH)
$ go install github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter
can't load package: package github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter: cannot find package "github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter" in any of:

	/Users/user/go/src/github.com/flosell/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/converter (from $GOPATH)

Edit3:

This project may be too niche according to the Acceptable Criteria and so it might be best to maintain our own tap.

The following criteria should be done

• document how to build this tool
• add a --version or -v that ties into the tag
• add a homebrew tap
• document how to install on osx using the tap

Let me know what you think.

Hi @nitrocode, sorry for the late response and thanks for picking this up!

First things first, to your comments (tl;dr: 👍):

• document how to build this tool : I'll add some notes to the README (edit: done). For your specific issue, see below
• add a --version or -v that ties into the tag: Makes sense. Let me know if it's something you want to pick up or if you'll need help from me (or someone else who wants to pick it up)
• add a homebrew tap: I'm guessing what's niche will depend on homebrew maintainers :) But I agree, this project isn't super well-known so I'm fine starting with our own tap
• document how to install on osx using the tap 👍

Now to your question around building;

In short, the Makefile and Travis will give you some pointers and I just verified in a container that those should work with your golang version (1.13.6):

$ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/go/src/iam-policy-json-to-terraform golang:1.13.6-buster bash -c 'cd /go/src/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/ && (curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/dep/master/install.sh | sh) && make tools vendor test build'

GOOS=darwin go build -o iam-policy-json-to-terraform_darwin *.go
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o iam-policy-json-to-terraform.exe *.go

As far as I remember, golang and dep expected your code to be in specific directories in the $GOPATH so maybe the issue is that you cloned to a different directory?

Submitted the formula to homebrew. Hope it gets accepted. If not, we can always create our own tap.

Thanks a lot for your work on this!
