I might be able to put together a few notes, yeah. Part of the problem here is that deluge is not a package in homebrew-core, so brew maintainers have no real obligation/checks to ensure that it builds properly (but they are working on fixing the bugs in gobject-introspection/related pkgs). I'm fairly certain those fixes will be figured out+merged soon, so i think this bug will be relatively short-lived. however I will write up some quick notes on rewinding/reinstalling old versions of packages when i can.

- docs on pinning a package (and see the immediate next section for making a tap) https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#how-do-i-stop- ... ng-updated

Ok, i've put together some instructions for rewinding and installing the proper version of gobject here: https://github.com/Amar1729/homebrew-de ... 2033318411

For users here who prefer installing deluge manually, the steps are the same except you don't have to run `brew install amar1729/deluge-meta/deluge-meta` (but you could run `brew install --only-dependencies amar1729/deluge-meta/deluge-meta` to make things a bit easier).

You should be able to unpin gobject-introspection and glib once the upstream issue is fixed and homebrew bundles the fix into a new revision for both of them.

I'm not sure if you made a github issue on brew, but if you could make one on our git, https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/newticket that would be helpful.

I've messaged Cas about this thread as well, but since you are more versed in the Mac situation than me, it would be better for you to make it if you can.

Hi, is there any update on this? Is there another way?

Is there any source for V.2 Deluge.app packages? I use the MacOS app as a thin client for my deluge instances on linux...

Cheers
