I'd like to try out universal-ctags, so I've just issued the following commands:

$ brew unlink ctags
$ brew tap universal-ctags/universal-ctags
$ brew install --HEAD universal-ctags

This seems to have worked. I get a different message now when I run ctags --help:

$ ctags --help
Universal Ctags Development, Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Darren Hiebert
  Compiled: Jul 20 2015, 16:56:17
  Addresses: <dhiebert@users.sourceforge.net>, https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags
  Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex, +debug, +option-directory, +coproc

I think that the contact details and copyright notice are wrong.

I'm not sure if this issue belongs on homebrew-universal-ctags or one of the other repos managed by this organisation. If I should have raised this issue on another repo, let me know and I'll adjust.

Yes, you are right. And as you assumed correctly, that is because the main repo has not released a version yet. I am not a Mac guy, but if I understand correctly this homebrew tap is just an easy way to get the a compiled version of the master (aka development) branch of Universal Ctags repo on your Mac. But @cweagans knows all the details. His is the author of this tap.

This Homebrew Tap just compiles universal ctags on a user's machine. The Ctags copyright information is outside the scope of the tap - it's something that would need to be changed in the ctags repo.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that. I'll close this issue.
