Homebrew Core Readiness

This doc tracks the source-formula path needed for eventual submission to Homebrew Core.

​
Why separate from the tap formula

  • Tap formula (Aureuma/homebrew-si) installs prebuilt release archives.
  • Homebrew Core generally expects source builds in formulae.
  • SI keeps a core-ready source formula template in-repo and refreshes it per release tag.

​
Refresh the core formula template

si build homebrew core \
  --version vX.Y.Z \
  --output packaging/homebrew-core/si.rb
This updates:
  • source archive URL
  • source archive SHA256
  • build/install test stanza

​
Submission checklist

  1. Ensure release tag vX.Y.Z is published.
  2. Regenerate packaging/homebrew-core/si.rb.
  3. Validate formula style/audit in a Homebrew-enabled environment.
  4. Confirm the source tarball formula can build the Rust primary binary from rust/crates/si-cli.
  5. Open PR to Homebrew/homebrew-core with si.rb and test evidence.

​
Current tap formula automation

Tap formula updates are automated from .github/workflows/cli-release-assets.yml after release assets are uploaded.
