Bottling a new version

• edit the formula as you see fit

  export FORMULA=<formula>  # e.g.: epp
  brew edit "Formula/$FORMULA.rb"
  

• build a new bottle (binary) of the changes

  brew uninstall --force "$FORMULA"
  brew install "Formula/$FORMULA.rb" --build-bottle
  

• tar the bottle, and retrieve the Ruby code required

  brew bottle $FORMULA --root-url=https://homebrew-blendle.storage.googleapis.com
  # You possibly need to use the option: --force-core-tap
  

• copy the returned code back into the formula Ruby file

  bottle do
    root_url "https://homebrew-blendle.storage.googleapis.com"
    cellar :any_skip_relocation
    sha256 "9e1da44221d6ce25d8f0c2e88cb633fd1e1da99e75034f631d7e82ea1ea2a337" => :sierra
  end
  

• upload the generated *.tar.gz file to Google Cloud Storage

  # You might first need to rename the generated tar so it uses '-' instead of '--'.
  # Otherwise brew downloading the bottle will not find the correct file.
  # e.g.: epp--3.1.0.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz to epp-3.1.0.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
  
  # Seems to be a known problem: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/4612#commitcomment-29994607
  
  gsutil -m cp -n $FORMULA*.bottle.tar.gz gs://homebrew-blendle
