Yes, I realized we have a gap there. I spoke too soon about Git being patched just because our own CA bundle was. My apologies. There's a fix incoming here[1]. [1]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/321878

Edit: Sorry, I forgot that I had patched my local bundle. This might indeed be an oversight, I'm looking at it now. Edit 2: This is being fixed now[1]. Everything below is stale. I couldn't reproduce this: % which git /opt/homebrew/bin/git % git ls-remote https://git-emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/check.git fatal: unable to access 'https://git-emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/check.git/': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate Make sure your `git` binary is Homebrew's, not the system/XCode CLT one. If you see `/usr/bin/git`, you're not using the Homebrewed Git. [1]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/321878

This is helpful, but it is yet to be seen how downstream picks it up. Wikidata[0] has renamed it and marked the Vinyl repo as the preferred one. Gentoo[1] renamed the package and switched to Vinyl. Homebrew[2] is now tracking Varnish Software (downstream of Vinyl). Fedora[3] has switched to Varnish Software as well. At endoflife.date[5], we renamed to vinyl and switched tracking as well. Wikipedia[6] has renamed Varnish (Software) -> Vinyl Cache. [0]: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1602447 [1]: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=679937b...

How does this work? AFAIK Homebrew formulae are written in Ruby [0]. Do they use some kind of Ruby parser to parse formulae? [0]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/26-tahoe/Form...

> The important thing for me with this is that it doesnt appear to impact homebrew's ability to download, compile, and install open source software. And that is the main thing I use homebrew for. I believe that is true for most people too FWIW I don't think brew has been compiling on installation even open source things by default for a while now[1]: > Homebrew provides pre-built binary packages for many formulae. These are referred to as bottles and are available at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/packages. The link shows close to 300 pages of precompiled packages available, and that section ends with the sentence "We aim to bottle everything". I don't think this necessarily changes anything you've stated with regards to the flag being removed as described in the Github issue linked by OP, but I think it's still worth noting b

Been using Microsoft Edit [0] for a good while on my Mac (the homebrew formula got merged recently [1]) No syntax highlighting, but I love it for taking notes and maintaining my .plan files. The simple TUI interface is oddly calming [0] https://github.com/microsoft/edit [1] https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/225837

The "brew info" command provides some information, so it would be great if the tool provided a button to fetch the "brew info" output on demand and if it provided a direct link to the homepage as opposed to having to perform two clicks; a tiny home icon next to the info icon would be good.

As best I can tell, that's partially due to the size of the community, but also because Homebrew went out of their way to teach the system to fish via the 3(?) different kinds of "check for updates" built into the Formulae: - GitHub release sniffing https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/b331b99b9f24f... - page scraping https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/b331b99b9f24f... (and also per-content-type flavors json and presumably xml) - links to other formulae (IOW cascading updates): https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/b331b99b9f24f... and then the $(brew livecheck) invocation which will do a subset, a curated list, or hypothetically all of them I can't imagine why MacPorts or our new Sapphire friend couldn't adopt a similar strategy

I learned while working on a new Kubernetes course that the official way of installing the AWS CLI on macOS per their documentation [^0] installs the x86 version of the CLI and that Apple Silicon is, mysteriously, not supported. The Homebrew formula works around this by building from source [^1], but not everyone uses Homebrew, including me, for this course. This script I wrote remediates this. It's a quick and easy way of installing the AWS CLI without a package manager or having to dig through GitHub Gists or Homebrew formulas yourself. I hope someone out there finds this useful! [^0]: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-sta... [^1]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formul.... Notice how the awscli dependencies are downloaded as separate packages. This might not be what you want.

If you use Homebrew it’s not available there yet, but it’s being added. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/209124.
