sorry OP by this is a clickbait rant from someone who just did not made his homework and ended loosing time and data. - Homebrew is rolling - always was and never claimed otherwise. - OTOH for key packages (say databases) it has available versioned bottles. for postgresql one have: - postgresql@10 - postgresql@12 - postgresql@9.4 - postgresql@9.6 - postgresql (points to latest) - postgresql@11 - postgresql@13 - postgresql@9.5 - Finally, no one is forced to update everything at all. run `brew outdated` and pick whatever you want updated then `brew update foo`... In short, none of what happened to the OP is due to inherent flaws in homebrew... QED.
