Follow-up Comment #4, sr #111187 (group administration): [comment #1 comment #1:] > What is the purpose of this check?
These checks ensure that the formulae in the official "homebrew/core" repository (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/) have accurate information. > What is the frequency of this check? The scheduled GitHub Action is defined here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/.github/workflows/scheduled.yml It's set to test each formula annually, in blocks distributed throughout the year. This is what its homepage check looks like when run locally: $ brew audit --online --skip-style --only homepage binutils --debug /opt/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb (Formulary::FromNameLoader): loading binutils /opt/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb (Cask::CaskLoader::NullLoader): loading binutils ==> Auditing Formula binutils on os sonoma and arch arm /opt/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb (Formulary::FromPathLoader): loading /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/b/binutils.rb /usr/bin/env /opt/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/shims/shared/curl --disable --cookie /dev/null --globoff --show-error --user-agent Mozilla/5.0\ \(Macintosh\;\ Intel\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 10_15_7\)\ AppleWebKit/605.1.15\ \(KHTML,\ like\ Gecko\)\ Version/17.0\ Safari/605.1.15 --header Accept-Language:\ en --connect-timeout 15 --max-time 25 --retry 3 --retry-max-time 25 --dump-header - --output /private/tmp/20250206-52585-sylsg6 --location https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/binutils.html > Why does this check not identify itself with a user-agent pointing to a link > describing the purpose for this check? It uses a desktop user agent to more closely mimic what a user would experience. Are there any standard headers that such status checks should be sending to identify themselves? > Can this check be disabled for us? Given this check amounts to fewer than 150 requests annually, I'm hoping that won't be necessary. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?111187> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
