But what is actually a cask?Īn extension of Homebrew to install macOS native apps Is the suggestion from the onboarding guide still valid - or now outdated? 🤔 Not sure. Homebrew provides better, official support for different versions. Homebrew/homebrew-versions has been moved into Homebrew/homebrew-core The announcement of Homebrew 1.2.0 says that:

I’m confused about the content in the homebrew-cask-versions/Casks/ directory, because it seems to include just a short list of java versions. Casks submitted here should be expected to be used by a reasonable number of people and supported by contributors long-term. Not intended to be used for all and any old versions you personally require. The “default homebrew behaviour” is to install the current newest version. But I wonder about the description that taps are third-party?! Anyway, the one called cask-versions is what supports the installation of alternate versions (of Java in this case, but could be any others). Ok, so the way I understand it now, is that these are different parts of Homebrew. 🚀 Manage background services with macOS' launchctl daemon manager 🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS 🍻 A CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries The other four taps refer to these projects, all on the Homebrew org: Repo Apparently from installing Inkscape some time back, which I do vaguely remember now that I see this issue on GitHub. There are two named caskformula that are shortcuts for: caskformula/homebrew-caskformula and the fork weikengchen/homebrew-caskformula. Will output this on my laptop: caskformula/caskformula (…) You should create your own tap for formulae you or your organisation wish to control the versioning of or those that do not meet the above standards.
