This information is mostly noise, so added an env var to allow to silence it

Thanks for this! Does it also make sense to make disabling the deleted formulae/casks lists possible?

[eugenesvk]

as far as I undersand, deleted section reports only those formulas that the user has installed, so it's more relevant information (unless HOMEBREW_UPDATE_REPORT_ALL_FORMULAE is set)

But maybe it still makes sense to silence those as well, so also added that option

@eugenesvk Thanks for the PR!

Would a single variable that hid both meet both your needs?

@tyrann0us Can you explain why you want to hide this? As @eugenesvk said, it's only those that you have installed so seems like pretty important information.

A single var would be fine for me, just created 2 in case someone has more refined silencing tastes :)

Hi @MikeMcQuaid,

Yes, that would work fine for me. I'd actually prefer that.

Can you explain why you want to hide this? As @eugenesvk said, it's only those that you have installed so seems like pretty important information.

TBH, I wasn't aware that this section only lists deleted formulae/casks that the user has installed. 🙈
Totally agree that this is important information, so please disregard that comment.

Thanks!

@eugenesvk Thanks. Do you personally want deleted formulae hidden or just new ones?

Thanks. Could clarify the title of that section perhaps 👍🏻

Do you personally want deleted formulae hidden or just new ones?

No, to me it's important to know of some formula I have disappears. Personally I'm fine having a single var that only suppresses updates, and it seems you and @tyrann0us too, so will change to 1

Thanks so much for your repeated contribution! Without people like you submitting PRs we couldn't run this project. You rock, @eugenesvk!
