Description:
Homebrew is a free and open-source package manager, initially written for macOS. Linuxbrew, a fork of Homebrew for Linux, was created in 2012. In 2019, we announced the official support for Linux and Windows 10 (with Windows Subsystem for Linux). The Linux-specific code of the package manager was back-ported from Linuxbrew to the main Brew repository in 2018/2019.

But the story did not end there. The Linux packages were still living in a separate repository: linuxbrew-core. We had to migrate all the changes from the Linux repository to the main repository (homebrew-core). There were more than 5000 lines of code to be back-ported. We also started building Linux packages in homebrew-core, so we had to set up Linux CI along the existing macOS one. As this task is now almost completed and we will soon decommission linuxbrew-core, I would like to come back on the details of this epic migration. This talk will make a small retrospective on why it took us almost 2 years to finish the migration. I will also take the opportunity to discuss the setup of our Linux CI, and the issues we faced while doing so.
