The audit command includes warnings for trailing whitespace, preferred URLs for certain source hosts, and a lot of other style issues. Fixing these warnings before committing will make the process a lot smoother for us. + +New formulae being introduced to homebrew should run `brew audit <formula name> --strict`. This command is performed by the Brew Bot in cases when a formula is being added as part of the automated build and test process, and is more stringent in its inspection. Use `brew info` and check if the version guessed by Homebrew from the URL is correct. Add an explicit `version` if not. |
