The build instructions for Mac OS X using homebrew laid out in the README file seem to be broken. Additionally they should be a bit more specific. E.g. the instruction "brew install $url" is very hard to read for people new to homebrew and requires a lot of guessing.

Being new to homebrew I tried the following in order to create automake:

brew create https://github.com/toabi/homebrew/blob/sparkleshare/Library/Formula/automake.rb

I ended up with an error that the formula needs some version number. Either the .rb file is wrong or I simply could not find out how to use it. I would suggest to improve that documentation in order to get more people testing sparkleshare.
