This commit includes `--no-mac-metadata` `--no-acls` and `--no-xattrs` in `default_tar_args` for `brew bottle` command. Although `default_tar_args` is only active when `--only-json-tab` is not passed, in which case we don't require reproducible bottles, it is nonetheless beneficial to "regularize" tarball creation. In particular, this resolves a sporadic `brew tests --only=dev-cmd/bottle:20` failure (see https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/4376 and https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/14997). Furthermore, with `gnu tar`, `--no-acls` and `--no-xattrs` are default flags. As for "mac metadata", although I couldn't find official documentation, this post (https://superuser.com/a/61188) shares some info: - Resource forks (resource forks have been extended attributes since 10.4) - Custom icons set in Finder and the images of Icon\r files - Metadata in PSD files - Objects stored in scpt files, AppleScript Editor window state, descriptions of scripts - Information about aliases (aliases stop working if extended attributes are removed) - Quarantine status or source URLs of files downloaded from the internet - Spotlight comments - Encoding of files saved with TextEdit - Caret position of files opened with TextMate - Skim notes None of these is supposed to be in the bottle I believe.

Community
Contributing
We'd love you to contribute to Homebrew. First, please read our Contribution Guide and Code of Conduct.
We explicitly welcome contributions from people who have never contributed to open-source before: we were all beginners once! We can help build on a partially working pull request with the aim of getting it merged. We are also actively seeking to diversify our contributors and especially welcome contributions from women from all backgrounds and people of colour.
A good starting point for contributing is running brew audit --strict with some of the packages you use (e.g. brew audit --strict wget if you use wget) and then read through the warnings, try to fix them until brew audit --strict shows no results and submit a pull request. If no formulae you use have warnings you can run brew audit --strict without arguments to have it run on all packages and pick one.
Alternatively, for something more substantial, check out one of the issues labeled help wanted in Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core.
Good luck!
