This can't be tapped on vanilla Homebrew/brew because things like e.g.
`GlibcRequirement` are missing. We will put this back when the Linuxbrew
to Homebrew migration is complete.
Git is a transport and storage mechanism for us so we don't want to
allow arbitrary customisation of this due to user issues e.g. #3664
and #3561.
Fixes#3664.
- `brew.rb` needed updated to fail unless on Ruby 2.3
- `brew update` should unset `HOMEBREW_RUBY_PATH` to ensure that this
doesn't "stick" on a Ruby 2.0 version after a portable Ruby has been
installed.
- `brew update` should try to install `curl` before `git` on older
versions of Mac OS X where it is needed for accessing modern SSL
certificates.
- We don't need an HTTP mirror for `git` because `curl` will already be
installed before it is downloaded.
- Don't recommend GCC on Mac OS X versions where it can't be built with
the default system compiler.
- Start using the Homebrew `curl` on Mac OS X versions where it is
needed as soon as it is installed.
On Linux this defaults to Linuxbrew but in some cases (i.e. a Linux
machine performing uploads for Homebrew) we want to allow this to be
overridden back to the defaults.
Relies on a change incoming to `brew test-bot` to set this there.
This will be slightly slower if you have a bunch of non-formula (i.e.
command or cask) taps but it avoids the confusion of having Homebrew
saying it's updated when it only did so selectively.
Fixes#1946.
It’ll only get printed for people getting updated to tags now and these
are people who haven’t run a `dev-cmd` so we want to air on the side of
telling them less stuff that will confuse them and assume people who
have manually made another `git` branch will know how to get back to it.
- Don't let the `UPSTREAM_TAG` variable bleed into future repository
checks.
- Even if the tag branch is an ancestor of the tag ensure that it's
forced back to the tag anyway.
Rather than following every change on `master` let’s have non-developer
users (i.e. those who have never run a `dev-cmd` or set
`HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER`) update between tags.
This provides a fairly natural beta (the `master` branch`) and stable
(the tags) approach without restricting us to any particular way of
managing our tags.
Not quite a mass replacement as I've used OS X and Mac OS X where
describing specific older versions and added compatibility methods
for things in the DSL.
Ensure that `brew update` always runs the LinkedKegs migration if needed
as it may not have been run by `brew update` if it was using `--preinstall` or
a `git pull` etc.
Also, if the old paths still exist: just use them instead.
Finally, always try to unlink/unpin before link/pin.
Fixes https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/4918.
Apple reset this on every OS X major (and some minor) updates and it
always proves a painful and unnecessary step. Instead just check the
directories we actually care about are writable.
This may mean if these directories do not already exist (although they
are now created by the installed) that `brew link` will fail and require
manual intervention but this seems to be superior for both new and the
majority of existing users.
A `git reset --hard` without stashing first risks nuking in-progress
work. A `git reset --mixed` should allow stashing to occur more often
on e.g. merge conflicts.
Fixes#766.
Add a `brew update --force` to side-step all of the clever optimisations
we have to detect if an update is unnecessary. That means if those
optimisations go wrong in future we can tell people just to run this
single command.
This would have been a useful workaround for the issue fixed in 985c672.
UPSTREAM_BRANCH was being used both as a loop variable name and name
for the upstream branch for HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY. This meant that the
variable names were overwritten which prevented update.
Closes#693.
