This is a temporary measure until: - #1862 is merged - I can a test on `brew uses` against every formula in the official taps to verify that exceptions are no longer raised.
Homebrew's Formula API
This is the (partially) documented public API for Homebrew.
The main class you should look at is the {Formula} class (and classes linked from there). That's the class that's used to create Homebrew formulae (i.e. package descriptions). Assume anything else you stumble upon is private.
You may also find the Formula Cookbook and Ruby Style Guide helpful in creating formulae.
Good luck!
