DK on MacOS: Homebrew vs. .pkg installer

[Thomas]

Hello,


Having used Digikam on Mac via the official .pkg installer from 
digikam.org for several years, I recently noticed that digikam seems to 
be available through homebrew as well.

Do we have an official recommendation/opinion on when to use the .pkg 
installer vs. homebrew?

Using "brew install digikam" seems to me really nice as it will 1) 
ensure frequent updates through brew update/brew upgrade, and 2) 
(hopefully) ensure a much easier installation process in that the user 
does not have to jump through hoops with MacOS security safeguards 
against running unsigned applications downloaded from the internet.


Are there any drawbacks to using the homebrew package?

Of course, the .pkg must still be available for users who for whatever 
reason do not have homebrew.
