brewchecker

Any program is only as good as it is useful. – Linus Torvalds

What it is?

brewchecker is a tool for checking Homebrew packages' availability, written in Python.

What it does?

It downloads latest Homebrew sources to temporary folder, scans `Formula <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/tree/master/Library/Formula>`__ folder for formulas, parse every of them, and tries to download every package, patch, etc from 'stable' section.

Output of this script is JSON document with statuses of all Formulas' resources.
