Description

Have you considered offering precompiled bottles? I've seen this blog post which explains that this is much easier now:
https://brew.sh/2020/11/18/homebrew-tap-with-bottles-uploaded-to-github-releases/

That would be nice and would help me (and possible others) who are using this valgrind fork on CI (where re-compiling it every time wastes time).

Feel free to close this if this is not in the scope of this project.

Research direction
