Remove Casks hosted on Google Code

[adidalal]

As Google Code is dead in 10 days. List from #17075 (comment).

Move to alehouse?

• cronnix.rb
• epub-to-pdf.rb
• maratis.rb
• pencil.rb
• quick-search-box.rb
• skreenics.rb

Asked to move hosting:

• duplicati.rb Update download location duplicati/duplicati#1545
• fotowall.rb Update download location enricoros/fotowall#9
• nethackcocoa.rb Update download location dirkz/NetHack-Cocoa#1
• proximity.rb Update download location revned/proximity#11

Special case:

• namebench.rb New development at google/namebench, similar to formula namebench.rb (cask includes gui, formula has cli only). No releases yet.

Pinging @alebcay as the keeper of alehouse.

I’d be happy to let those die, though. Clearly the interest isn’t there to fix them.

[alebcay]

Sure thing, I'll be happy to mirror them. I'll try to get around to it in the next few days.

[vitorgalvao]

Updated top post with full list.

@alebcay You should feel free to let die whatever you want. Things like quick-search-box, for example, are guaranteed to never be worked on again.

[Zirro]

Looking at two that I use, qlcolorcode and quicklook-csv appear to have found new homes on GitHub and could use a release from here. (No binaries - I suppose mirroring is the way to go.)

I would expect these to have a relatively large number of users thanks to lists such as this one.

quicklook-csv: https://github.com/p2/quicklook-csv/releases

[tsparber]

Was pointed to https://code.google.com/archive/d/code.google.com which contains everything, so no need for alehouse. Don't know googke will automatically redirect. We will see it after 25th.

[vitorgalvao]

I think that might be just the archive they’ll keep until the end of 2016. That should only serve complete tarballs of projects, so still no good for us.

[tsparber]

It is more than tarballs (https://code.google.com/archive/p/duplicati/downloads) basically a new readonly interface, labeled as "long term storage"

[vitorgalvao]

It’s fine in that case. We should label those as discontinued, though.

[tsparber]

• maratis.rb (Hompage links url to googlecode.com) (not dead, but Maratis-4 has no releases)
• pencil.rb (Hompage links url to googlecode.com) discontinued
• duplicati.rb Update download location duplicati/duplicati#1545 (WIP)
• fotowall.rb Update download location enricoros/fotowall#9 (no response) (Hompage links url to googlecode.com) discontinued
• proximity.rb Update download location revned/proximity#11 (no response, url has spaces -> maybe dead after shutdown / 404) discontinued

@vitorgalvao Is it ok to update the casks where the homepage points the url to googlecode.com to storage.googleapis.com/archive? If not I will leave them until they return a 404 (if google does not redirect upon shutdown).

[vitorgalvao]

Is it ok to update the casks where the homepage points the url to googlecode.com to storage.google.com/archive?

Yes.

[vitorgalvao]

Two more and we’re set. Tireless work, @tsparber, thank you.

[tsparber]

I like to finish things I start, but did not expect it to be so much work 😃
Sadly I don't know how to fix the remaining two 😞 (bug on googles code archive)

[vitorgalvao]

Lets just remove those two.

• duplicati: when it reaches 2.0 and there are binaries, someone will resubmit (if they don’t it’s because there isn’t any interest, which is also fine).
• proximity: Was last touched over a year ago and looks pretty abandoned (issues are being apparently ignored).
