- Without this, `brew man` produces a lowercasing diff that violates
Vale's rules.
- Also run `brew man` to test this out, and that updated some dates to
December.
This variable allows a user to configure how often `brew update` runs.
With the previous implementation, however, it was still pretty slow as
it would run some of `brew update` even within the timeout. This feels
related to complaints about Homebrew "feeling slow" since we enabled
this. Address this by:
- making `HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS` behave more like
`HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` and entirely skip the invocation of
`brew update` if the relevant tap (homebrew-core or homebrew-cask
depending on command invoked) has been checked in the last
`HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS`
- Only require/check the update of a single tap rather than every tap
- Increase the default value of `HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS` from 1m
to 5m to cut people a bit more slack. We're not updating things
often enough for 1m not to feel a bit overkill and 5m feels
appropriate for a Homebrew "session" to only require a single update.
`brew cask` no longer supports the `search` command and was removed from
the `homebrew/brew-cask` documentation. However, it's still in the
`brew` man page for `brew-cask`.
Remove search from the man page.
Today the Homebrew maintainers elected a new PLC, TSC and project lead.
Documentation is to follow detailing exactly the responsibilities for
each of these roles but adjust these to reflect the current state until
that point.
This will become the default in a later version of Homebrew but has an
opt-out through HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Also, always cleanup files older than 120 days and set the general
default value for "old" logs, casks etc. to 30 days.
more.
`brew`'s `man` page's 'ENVIRONMENT' section is intended to list only those
environment variables that users can set, not any that Homebrew sets as part of
its operation.
