The `curl --head --request GET` causes a full download to happen on
`curl` from 8.7.0 to 8.9.1[^1] which causes poor UX due to slow
Cask downloads that can take almost twice as long as they should.

Try running `cp -al` to preserve hardlinks on both macOS and Linux.
If that fails, fall back on `cp -a` which can preserve hardlinks on
Linux (but not macOS) assuming target filesystem supports them.
`Livecheck#preprocess_url` only contains logic for rewriting Git URLs,
so it makes more sense for this code to be part of the `Git` strategy
instead. Outside of better code organization, this saves us from
having to maintain the list of strategies to skip processing (which
is sometimes forgotten when a new strategy is added) and makes it
easier to do something similar in other strategies as needed.
One thing to note is that `Livecheck#preprocess_url` was previously
called on the URL before each strategy's `#match?` method was called.
To maintain the existing behavior, this calls `Git#preprocess_url` in
`Git#match?`. However, we need the processed URL when we use the `Git`
strategy, so we have to call `Git#preprocess_url` again. To avoid
duplicating effort, I've added a `@processed_urls` hash to the `Git`
strategy and have set up `Git#preprocess_url` to cache processed
URLs, so we only do the work once. There may be a better way of
handling it but this seems to work as expected.
We've already disabled installing casks/formulae from URLs and we
regularly tell people not to install from paths so let's just deprecate
this behaviour entirely.
Even Homebrew developers do not need to work this way.
The way we handle boolean environment variables is a bit unfortunate.
For example, setting `HOMEBREW_EVAL_ALL=false` actually enables
`HOMEBREW_EVAL_ALL`.
Let's fix this by deprecating setting boolean environment variables to
common false-y values (`false`, `0`, `nil`, `no`, and `off`) so that we
can later ignore these false-y values when reading boolean environment
variables.
If you have `HOMEBREW_TEMP` set to a longer path (e.g. the user's
private temporary directory rather than `/private/tmp`), Sequoia will
error out on some tests when forking because the path is too long
(> 104 bytes).
To improve this situation let's:
- use a shorter path for `HOMEBREW_TEMP` by appending `/brew-tests` to
the existing `HOMEBREW_TEMP` used outside of tests rather than
creating nested temporary directories
- use the minimal amount of randomness to avoid collisions while
allowing parallel tests
- use `squeeze` to remove any double slashes in the temporary path
We will now build on Ventura (macOS 13) to Sequoia (macOS 15).
Runners for macOS 15-x86_64 will not be allocated by default due to a
lack of appropriate hardware.
