These include resource updates, new patches or fixing a security issue with a formula. -Occasionally, these updates require a forced-recompile of the formula itself or its dependents to either ensure formulae continue to function as expected or to close a security issue. This forced-recompile is known as a [`revision`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/Formula#revision%3D-class_method) and is inserted underneath the [`homepage`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/Formula#homepage%3D-class_method)/[`url`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/Formula#url-class_method)/[`sha256`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/Formula#sha256%3D-class_method) block. +Occasionally, these updates require a forced-recompile of the formula itself or its dependents to either ensure formulae continue to function as expected or to close a security issue.

When a dependent of a formula fails to build against a new version of that dependency it must receive a [`revision`](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/Formula#revision%3D-class_method). An example of such failure is in [this issue report](https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/31195) and [its fix](https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/pull/31207).
