Didn't the author sunset this project to become a web3 advocate and pivot to a new project where some dubious NFT would be exchanged for package installations? I guess 2022 came and went since then...
You’re thinking of Max Howell, the original creator of Homebrew. Rest assured, Max hasn’t been part of Homebrew for years—for longer than he was ever a part of it—so he has no hand in sunsetting or making other decisions on Homebrew’s behalf.
Regarding his web3 stuff, the Homebrew developers learned about them at the same time as everyone else (there was a tweet from the official account at the time). There is no relation between both projects.
Max takes every chance he gets to mention Homebrew, so the confusion is understandable but unfortunate. Even in his web3 package manager he mentions Homebrew as if it’s the old stuff.
