We will be slowly adding them to all formulae. -By default, bottles will be built for the oldest CPU supported by the OS/architecture you're building for. (That's Core 2 for 64-bit OSs, Core for 32-bit.) This ensures that bottles are compatible with all computers you might distribute them to. If you *really* want your bottles to be optimized for something else, you can pass the `--bottle-arch=` option to build for another architecture - for example, `brew install foo --bottle-arch=penyrn`. Just remember that if you build for a newer architecture some of your users might get binaries they can't run and that would be sad! +By default, bottles will be built for the oldest CPU supported by the OS/architecture you're building for.

Any metadata is stored in a formula's bottle DSL and in the bottle filename (i.e. MacOS version, revision). |
