$ brew install --build-from-source https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcandre/homebrew-core/27757013b40567774c223a93faa720ed813ece71/Formula/whois.rb

Hi, thanks for sharing this gist!
Tried to install it on macOS Catalina and ran into the following error message:

Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
  DownloadError: Failed to download resource "whois"
Download failed: https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/whois_5.4.2.tar.xz

Any advice on how to workaround this issue and mkpasswd command available on my OSX?

Below I paste the full output log, in case it helps:

Warning: Unsupported installation from a commit URL!
Consider using `brew extract whois ...` instead!"
This will extract your desired whois version to a stable tap instead of
installing from a commit URL that cannnot receive updates or fixes!

A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the system
keychain. To add additional certificates, place .pem files in
  /usr/local/etc/[email protected]/certs

and run
  /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/c_rehash

[email protected] is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS provides LibreSSL.

If you need to have [email protected] first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For compilers to find [email protected] you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"

For pkg-config to find [email protected] you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"

@jfoliveira you could use my homebrew tap to install mkpasswd:

brew tap tonidy/tools-tap
brew install mkpasswd

I just set up your tap, and I can see that I have mkpasswd available, but it doesn't seem to support sha-512 or sha-256, which seems odd to me.

Are you able to mkpasswd -m sha-256 or mkpasswd -m sha256 (I can never remember if the dash is required or not)

@kgleason you can use libxcrypt library if you want to support sha256 / sha512. My own tap is using openssl from macOS/brew version that doesn't support sha256 / sha512

Trying to build mkpasswd :-)
