- I noticed this in a PR recently, maybe the maintainer didn't think
they would have to run `brew man` for this? In that case there's an
extra step after the PR is raised, red CI checks on the PR (which is
demoralising) and potentially requires a reviewer to point this out.
- This runs `brew man` if the `README` file has a diff as part of this
command. Then the user has to `git add .` and their PR is (probably)
good.
Git now allows setting a different default remote name than `origin`
when you do a fresh clone by running:
```shell
git config --global clone.defaultRemoteName notorigin
```
This causes `brew tap <tap_name> && brew update` to fail, as it clones
with a different remote name in the `tap` and then expects the remote to
be `origin` in the `update`.
Fix this by explicitly setting the origin remote in the clone command.
Fixes#10170 by preferring gcc@5 on linux
This makes sure ENV.cc and ENV.cxx is correctly set:
If a formula does not explicitely depend on a brewed gcc,
ENV.cc is set to gcc-5 (system gcc-5 or brewed gcc-5) with this change,
even if other gcc versions are installed on the system.
These are still used in Homebrew/homebrew-core. The others are either
- default (Os on macOS, O2 on Linux)
- less reliable than the default (O3)
While we're here, also remove an outdated `ncurses_define` comment.
Several calls to ohai and puts were directly changed into calls to
these new functions, but they don't share arity or an API.
The base functions allow arbitrary number of arguments, allowing for
multiline printing that covers both a title and a longer message.
- When running `brew request-bottle`, users who don't have credentials
in the macOS keychain (ie, Linux users) or `HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN`
receive "Error: Not Found" from the GitHub API returning a 404.
- This is cryptic and confusing for newcomers to Linux maintenance, and
potentially confusing to other folks using `open_api` where
credentials are expected yet unset.
- This adds a new `MissingAuthenticationError` to handle the case where
the GitHub API returns 404 and there are no creds yet API scopes are
required.
Before:
```
issyl0@sky:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew$ brew request-bottle hello
==> Dispatching request to Homebrew/linuxbrew-core for hello
Error: Not Found
```
After:
```
issyl0@sky:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew$ brew request-bottle hello
==> Dispatching request to Homebrew/linuxbrew-core for hello
Error: No GitHub credentials found in Keychain or environment.
Create a GitHub personal access token:

echo 'export HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN=your_token_here' >> ~/.profile
