ci: script the Homebrew formula bump (replace mislav action)#16
Merged
Conversation
mislav/bump-homebrew-formula-action resolves the source tarball via a HEAD to GitHub's tarball API, which started returning HTTP 303 (not 302) around 2026-05-16; the action only accepts 302 and throws 'unexpected HTTP 303'. The fix (PR #342) is unmerged and the action's last release predates the break, so every bump now fails deterministically. Replace it with a small script: curl -L the source archive (follows any redirect) to compute the sha256, rewrite url + sha256 in the tap formula, and open the bump PR. curl fetches the same canonical archive brew downloads, so the checksum matches by construction and the formula keeps its standard github.com/archive url. Re-run safe via force-push + PR-exists check.

Why
mislav/bump-homebrew-formula-actionresolves the source tarball with aHEADto GitHub's tarball API (HEAD /repos/{owner}/{repo}/tarball/{ref}). That endpoint started returning HTTP 303 instead of 302 around 2026-05-16, and the action'sresolveRedirectonly accepts 302 — so every bump now fails deterministically withunexpected HTTP 303 responsebefore the formula is written.What
Replace the action with a small script in the
bump-formulajob:curl -fsSLthe source archive (follows any redirect — 302/303/whatever) and compute its sha256. This fetches the same canonicalgithub.com/archivearchive brew downloads, so the checksum matches by construction (no "legacy" codeload mismatch the action had to hack around).url+sha256inFormula/band.rb, keeping the standardgithub.com/archiveURL (audit-clean).band vX.Y.Zbump PR on the tap.Re-run safe: force-pushes the bump branch and only opens a PR if one isn't already open. No-ops if the formula is already at the target version. Reuses the existing

Shake out on the upcoming
