I am actually trying to avoid using homebrew.
There are lots of great things in homebrew but a few flaws are definitely the assumptions about the path and also the total lack of vetting.
Homebrew wants to own /usr/local as if nothing else is there.
Mac Ports on the other hand is a bit more careful to use an uncommon path in /opt and that is pretty valuable to me.

Many package managers do not really have strong vetting or security policies. Homebrew is one of those.
Mac Ports is also not great at that.

It would be great if there were more guarantees than just whatever is on github and visible to homebrew.

A directory of sorts to work with would be great but I feel like this is clearly a modern and missing feature, I am just not sure unmanaged homebrew github repos is the thing.
I would like to hear more before people just jump on the convenience.

I use Textmate and Brew. Linking them sounds good.

This would extremely useful. I use Homebrew for so much already. Having it for bundles would a huge benefit.

Hi,

The features that stand out to me immediately are: […] CLI searching and installing.
Caskroom member here. With our recent integration into Homebrew last year, I think Homebrew now brings to the table a big part of what would be needed to manage TM bundles via CLI today.

In fact, anyone is free to create an (unofficial) Homebrew tap for TextMate bundles. A tap is just a GitHub repo, e. g. github.com/textmate/homebrew-bundles. It would contain a number of package files, which essentially point to the individual download URLs of the tmbundles.

This is what the user would do once to tap into the repo:

$ brew tap textmate/bundles
To search for plugins, you’d run:

$ brew tm search arduino
==> Exact Match
tm-arduino
To install a tmbundle, you’d run:

$ brew tm install arduino
If more than three people find this useful, I’ll be happy to piece together a small PoC.

Regards,
Claudia
