- These are arbitrary length limits that had a load of disables in code.
- The limits were only increasing over time rather than decreasing.
- Fixing the problematic code to be shorter would take a long time for
questionable gain since the problem has been around so long.
- We're not going to make the really long things be any shorter any time soon.
- The instructions in issue 14685 say, pragmatically, "disable all the rubocop
rules we're never going to realistically fix e.g. Metrics/ClassLength". But
that felt like a slippery slope to more _really_ long modules/classes/blocks,
and the limits are here for a reason.
- Use constants for placeholders
- Monkeypatch to set `HOMEBREW_PREFIX` consistently to placeholder
- Use environment variable to set `Dir.home` consistently to placeholder
- Use `appdir` short-circuit to set `Cask#appdir` consistently to placeholder
- Use `Cask.generating_hash!` to enable "generating mode" with these patches
- Fix `Formula#caveats` from JSON
Fixes#14505Fixes#14595
- Use raw.githubusercontent.com to download cask source rather than
formulae.brew.sh. This allows us to remove these files
- output the tap's current `HEAD` for both formulae and cask JSON
- use this `HEAD` for the cask-source API to get the exact file on
raw.githubusercontent.com rather than just whatever is newest (which
is what the previous API did)
- set the `Tap` correctly when creating a `Cask` from the API
- if the `formula.json` file exists: print its modified time include
`brew config`
- memoize `tap.git_head` as we'll be calling it a lot in the same
process with the same value
We're still getting a non-trivial number of issues from configurations
we don't support and don't plan to.
Let people know that we know their experience will not be good and what
to expect if they file issues.

Setting `target` to a path outside `HOMEBREW_PREFIX` is not portable,
and will be invalid for some Homebrew installations.
If we want to add an `rpath` outside of `HOMEBREW_PREFIX`, we should
just use the absolute path instead.
See discussion at Homebrew/homebrew-core#110520.
Now the build dependencies of formula that were installed from
source will not be removed by `brew autoremove`. This is especially
helpful for those who've installed brew in an alternative prefix.
We added the `--all` flag (now renamed to `--eval-all`) for various
commands for this behaviour so let's start deprecating this.
Also, introduce a `HOMEBREW_EVAL_ALL` environment variable to use the
existing, less secure, behaviour by default and avoid passing
`--eval-all` everywhere.
