This is a well-written Homebrew formula. To improve its long-term maintainability, I suggest adding a livecheck block. This allows Homebrew's infrastructure to automatically detect new releases of bcvk and open pull requests to update the formula, ensuring users get timely updates.

  head "https://github.com/bootc-dev/bcvk.git", branch: "main"

  livecheck do
    url :stable
    strategy :github_latest
  end


depends_on "rust" => :build
depends_on "pkg-config" => :build
depends_on "openssl@3"

def install
ENV["OPENSSL_DIR"] = Formula["openssl@3"].opt_prefix
ENV["OPENSSL_NO_VENDOR"] = "1"
system "cargo", "install", *std_cargo_args(path: "crates/kit")
end

test do
# Test that the binary exists and help works
output = shell_output("#{bin}/bcvk --help")
assert_match "bootc", output
assert_match "Usage: bcvk <COMMAND>", output

# Test that subcommands are available
assert_match "ephemeral", output
assert_match "to-disk", output
assert_match "libvirt", output
end
