Update from @danielnachun:

---

Below is a list of the most-installed formulae (ranked according to install events in the last 90 days) that have no bottles on Monterey (both Intel and ARM).

We should try to get these bottled where we can. Some of these still have no Big Sur bottles -- if they don't, this should be reported upstream for assistance.

A number of these will have no bottles because they have unbottled dependencies. You can check with:

brew unbottled --tag=monterey octave
brew unbottled --tag=arm64_monterey octave

Both Intel and ARM

I think we can update these lists now because we've bottled qt@5 for Intel Monterey and that was the main reason some bottles were missing for Intel Monterey but not ARM.

I can also see that a decent number of formulae missing bottles only on ARM are blocked by openjdk@8, which Azul has successfully built for ARM on macOS: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk. I don't know if they'd be willing to help us fix our build but it might be worth reaching out.

I can also see some other formulae missing ARM bottles which are deprecated or should be deprecated because they are unmaintained.

It's also worth mentioning that the biggest blocker by far for Monterey bottling across both architectures is openjdk@11, which we haven't updated yet because the patch for ARM support is a lot of work to update. Once that is merged we'll be able to make a lot more progress on Monterey bottling in general.

We're approaching the point where I'd like to see OpenJDK 8 phased out as a dependency. The amount of patches that would have to be backported for arm64 macOS is likely large - it already is for OpenJDK 11 and has shown to be a maintenance burden.

This is also not Monterey specific anyway.

[danielnachun]

That's a very fair point. I did a cursory check of the dependents of openjdk@8, and of those which are not already deprecated or disabled, all but a handful appear to be unmaintained. We should probably start deprecating all openjdk@8 dependents unless they are actively maintained and there is a clear upstream plan to migrate at least to openjdk@11.

Seems reasonable to me 👍🏻

[danielnachun]

I'll start working on a "deprecate or update formulae that depend on openjdk@8" issue like I did for Python 2, which was quite successful.

[danielnachun]

I think we should also give serious consideration to deprecating or updating formulae that depend on gtk+ (GTK2). GTK2 is EOL as of the release of GTK4: https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/. The gtkglext formula is unbottled on Linux because pangox doesn't work with the X/OpenGL stack, and is heavily patched on macOS (it is unbottled on Monterey due to a flat_namespace audit failure).

A number of formulae that currently depend on gtk+ actually support GTK3 or even GTK4 and should be migrated. Those which do not support a newer GTK version should either have the GUI disabled if it is optional or be deprecated. I can make another tracking issue for this as well if desired.

openjdk@11 has backported ARM patch into development branch for upcoming 11.0.15. I've switched PR #87638 to use that version (11.0.15+5) for ARM and it successfully builds/tests.

In general yes: dependents of EOL/deprecated formulae should be migrated or deprecated too if there's no upstream activity. This also applies to PCRE1, but that's an example of something that can't really be rushed - I expect migration of dependents for that will not be completed this year.

For SDL 1.2, we have a migration path of sdl12_compat - though ideally we'd wait for a bug fix release or two first since that compat layer is very new.

OpenJDK 8 is a bit special as OpenJDK 8 itself is still supported for another 3 years - so the formula is not being deprecated anytime soon. It's just a bit of a personal desire that dependents should move on from this 8-year-old version of OpenJDK and allow us to reduce the dependency trees of x86_64-only formulae.

[triallax]

Note that insect does not depend on psc-package anymore, see #106311.

[Bo98]

I strongly encourage deprecating mcrypt. It's abandonware security software, which is a very good reason for deprecation.

Unfortunately, rdup is still using it...

[SMillerDev]

Rdup has 0 installs the last month, let's just deprecate that too. Last release was 6,5 years ago
