Say a homebrew package was released for internal testing purposes. Basically a release candidate. How do I mark the homebrew package as a release candidate so that it doesn't get installed when a user tries to install the latest package? I need the latest stable package to get installed.

One way that I think of is to create a separate pre-release tap
or formula
, so that you can install that tap
or formula
to do the pre-release testing.
Let's say if you sue formula approach, you can have formula.rb
and formula-rc.rb
in the same tap. And you can brew install/test formula-rc
to achieve your goal.
