This is because patch versions indicate bug or security updates and we want to ensure you apply security updates. * Formulae that depend on versioned formulae must not depend on the same formulae at two different versions twice in their recursive dependencies. For example, if you depend on `openssl@1.0` and `foo`, and `foo` depends on `openssl` then you must instead use `openssl`. -* Versioned formulae should strive to be linked at the same time as their non-versioned counterpart (without patching). If this is not possible, favour either `conflicts_with` or `keg_only` depending on whether users expect to have multiple versions installed at once or not. +* Versioned formulae should only be linkable at the same time as their non-versioned counterpart if the upstream project provides support for e.g. suffixed binaries. If this is not possible, use `keg_only :versioned_formula` to allow users to have multiple versions installed at once. You should create your own [tap](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap.md) for formulae you or your organisation wishes to control the versioning of or those that do not meet the above standards. |
