Don't save mac metadata/extended attributes for
brew bottle
This commit includes `--no-mac-metadata` `--no-acls` and `--no-xattrs` in `default_tar_args` for `brew bottle` command. Although `default_tar_args` is only active when `--only-json-tab` is not passed, in which case we don't require reproducible bottles, it is nonetheless beneficial to "regularize" tarball creation. In particular, this resolves a sporadic `brew tests --only=dev-cmd/bottle:20` failure (see https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/4376 and Homebrew#14997). Furthermore, with `gnu tar`, `--no-acls` and `--no-xattrs` are default flags. As for "mac metadata", although I couldn't find official documentation, this post (https://superuser.com/a/61188) shares some info: - Resource forks (resource forks have been extended attributes since 10.4) - Custom icons set in Finder and the images of Icon\r files - Metadata in PSD files - Objects stored in scpt files, AppleScript Editor window state, descriptions of scripts - Information about aliases (aliases stop working if extended attributes are removed) - Quarantine status or source URLs of files downloaded from the internet - Spotlight comments - Encoding of files saved with TextEdit - Caret position of files opened with TextMate - Skim notes None of these is supposed to be in the bottle I believe.
