Some formulae are flexible about the version of Python3 that they use.
However, when we use `#detected_python_shebang` on these formulae, they
become coupled to the specific version of Python3 declared in the
formula.
This is harmful because
1. it prevents us from using `uses_from_macos "python"` even in formulae
where we should be able to
2. it forces us to rebuild the formula whenever we make changes to the
Python dependency when nothing but the shebang would have changed as
a consequence of the rebuild
For an example of this, see Homebrew/homebrew-core#107905.
I'd also like to do this to get rid of some really terrible hacks we
have in `glib-utils` as a means of decoupling `glib` from the specific
versioned Python dependency it used to have.
See Homebrew/homebrew-core#103916, or Homebrew/homebrew-core#106045 for
a proposal to give the same treatment to `gobject-introspection`.
Due to limitations of the test framework, this only tests
that the command with the --debug-symbols
flag succeeds and that on MacOS the `dsymutil` is run.
On MacOS, the compile flags `-g` are not set, and I can't figure out
how to set them here. `dsymutil` runs successfully regardless of if
there are debug symbols or not.
Same on linux therefore the test cannot succeed.
- Before each AGM it's currently a manual process for a PLC member to
search commit logs and GitHub to figure out who contributed to
Homebrew, so who should remain a member.
- I noticed that [looking at commits for a
user](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits?author=issyl0&since=2022-01-01&until=2023-01-01)
would not count `Co-Authored-By`, which happens a lot now there's an
autosquash action on PRs in `Homebrew/homebrew-core`, say if someone
fixed a formula's build or tests or whatever and then the PR got
auto-merged.
- Here's `brew contributions` that uses `git log` to be able to go back
through all time or a specific time period (`--from`, `--to`). It's up
to individual PLC discretion for "activity", but it does at least go
some way to automating the data retrieval.
- Example (I can use my username as `--email` because my username is in
all of the email addresses that I use for committing to Homebrew):
```
$ brew contributions --email=issyl0 --repos=brew,core
Person issyl0 directly authored 732 commits and co-authored 31 commits to brew, core in all time.
```
