How to handle formula options

[UnderpantsGnome]

Given a line in a Brewfile that has options:

brew "mysql@8.4", restart_service: :changed

How do I pass that with openboot in the JSON config?

[fullstackjam]

mysql@8.4 works as-is — just put it in your packages list. The @ version syntax is a regular Homebrew formula name, and openboot passes it straight to brew install.

{
  "packages": ["mysql@8.4"]
}

For restart_service, that's a Brewfile DSL thing (brew bundle), not a brew install flag. You can use post_install instead:

{
  "post_install": ["brew services start mysql@8.4"]
}
