Dog disabled on Homebrew

[torfason]

I just tried installing dog using Homebrew and received the following error message:

$ brew install dog
Error: dog has been disabled because it is not maintained upstream! It was disabled on 2024-08-01.

It's a bummer, I have no idea about what their process is for determining this, but thought the maintainer(s) might like a heads-up since it seems to be recent. ❤️

Unfortunately, dog's author @ogham is not reachable for a few years, and I suppose there's no maintainer for this repository. Other project made by him is forked and maintained there, for example exa is forked to eza-community/eza.

So maybe it's time to move on to successor, for example doge.
I don't really know which one is mainly used.

Thanks for the update! Did some research, seems like it was deprecated first and then disabled:

• Commit that disabled:
  • Homebrew/homebrew-core@3f49dbd
• Commit that deprecated:
  • Homebrew/homebrew-core@104c6e5

Deprecating commit also adds note regarding #98 which seems to be the trigger (and when not addressed it got disabled).

• doge is a nice clone, but not on Homebrew
• doggo is not a clone, but "It's totally inspired by dog", it is written in go and available on Homebrew

It would be nice if the eza model could be applied, perhaps with doge becoming a community driven version of dog.
