HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API not working for dependencies with bottle about brew

[carlocab]

Try

HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install --build-from-source A B

or, otherwise:

HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install --build-from-source A
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install --build-from-source B

That's the workaround I'm currently using. But I think I just now found what the error was. I accidentally copied these three lines into my formula:

bottle do
    sha256 cellar: :any_skip_relocation, all: "c95213126a4de3d3ab508fbfc7f23f11ece2f0011d3a6d251d7f79034376066e"
  end

It's a docs issue. The Developer Docs I referenced before only say:

If there’s a bottle do block in the formula, don’t remove or change it; we’ll update it when we merge your PR.

however if it's a new formulae and pulled in as dependency then this causes the above HTTP-404 apparently...

This is the first I'm hearing of the issue, so I don't think it's something that trips up many contributors. (At least, not enough for them to complain to us about it.)

We'll review a PR to improve the documentation, but this doesn't seem like a bug to me.
