Verification

Provide a detailed description of the proposed feature

We should avoid using e.g. @@HOMEBREW_PREFIX@@ etc. relocation replacements on Apple Silicon (and maybe Linux x86_64/arm64 but not/never macOS Intel).

These were needed initially because replacing /usr/local on macOS Intel was far too wide-reaching with too many false positives and negatives.

What is the motivation for the feature?

This would:

  • simplify and speed up pouring on our widest used platform(s)
  • potentially enable codesigning of homebrew-core packages for Apple Silicon (where we require cask code-signing anyway)
    • code-signing is broken by relocation

How will the feature be relevant to at least 90% of Homebrew users?

Increased speed and security for homebrew-core.

What alternatives to the feature have been considered?

  • Doing nothing
  • Having another tap that signs already-relocated bottles
