This provides a few benefits:

  • faster brew cask execution times as another Ruby process is not needed. Cask can instead be loaded in-process with Homebrew. This will also make it easier to use some of Homebrew's core code and ease moving code from Cask into Homebrew core.
  • Users do not need to brew upgrade Cask any more: it's done automatically on any brew update or git pull of the Cask tap.

I appreciate this PR will probably not be merged as-is while we work out how to handle e.g. the Formula and I answer other questions.

Probably want to update brew-cask formula to an dummy one, i.e. bumping the version number but installing nothing.

I was thinking the same 👍

One question about @xu-cheng's suggestion: what about existing installations which symlink to the brew-cask script? Could the upgrade remove them?

@jawshooah

Also, the failing test is due to the cmd directory not being listed here.

The symlink will be removed. The only residual file will be an empty /usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/version/ directory.

@jawshooah Yeh, will fix up the CI and do more testing.

I should probably mention I’ve already seen this as well. I like the idea and have nothing to add.

I’ll ask that you please always @mention @jawshooah in these situations as well, since he’s taking care of most of the actual implementation and revisions to the core.

Don't have much to comment beyond to say the idea here is great 👍.

Sure thing @vitorgalvao, thanks. I just mentioned you in this case as you commented on the Homebrew issue that provoked this.

@MikeMcQuaid

This is green now. The only outstanding issue I noticed from the formula is how we want to handle the manpage. CC @xu-cheng for ideas.

Can one of the Homebrew Cask maintainers let me know what needs to be changed (except the man fix) to make this suitable for merging?

@jawshooah
Copy link
Contributor

LGTM. Not sure how manpages are usually done for external brew commands, but we can open a separate issue for that. @vitorgalvao, any objections to merging this now?

@vitorgalvao
Copy link
Member

No objections at all. I was also waiting on the mentioned manpage ideas, but I agree that can be a different issue.

@jawshooah
Copy link
Contributor

With this merged, the version number will no longer be relevant. We'll need to bump it once to prompt users to upgrade, but after that it will have no further use. How do you want to handle that?

@vitorgalvao

Member

Ah, yes, hadn’t start thinking about that transition yet. Any suggestions?

@jawshooah

HBC_VERSION doesn't appear to be used anywhere apart from generating the output for brew cask --version and brew cask doctor, so we may as well keep it around. Homebrew's version hasn't been updated since 2013, but they haven't removed it. We should definitely include the git revision in the output of those commands, though.

We can get rid of releasing.md and the bump_version, generate_changelog, and get_release_tag developer scripts, as they won't be needed anymore.

Our final release notes should emphasize this change, and that there will be no more releases in the future.

The no more releases is independent from Cask DSL changes, correct? Because PRs like #15643 (any any other additional features) will still require a bump in the cask versioning.

@jawshooah

Contributor

@adidalal DSL versioning is completely independent from Cask's own version.

@jawshooah
Copy link
Contributor

It's important to note, however, that we aren't currently performing any meaningful validation of the DSL version. I started working on it a while ago, but haven't gotten around to finishing up.

About manpage, a possible workaround is to auto install it whenever invoking brew cask command.

About version, you may want to create a develop branch for core code development.

I'll remove these.

@xu-cheng as this case seems relatively common I think I'll add an optional man directory to the tap root which is autosymlinked. I think that should probably block this being merged.

@jawshooah I think I've done everything you suggested and made sure brew cask doctor was clean for me.

We don't have Homebrew's Pathname extensions, so this line breaks the build.

Heh, worked for me locally because this is loaded in the same process as Homebrew. I'll fix it up regardless.

👍. Got the manpage link failure still but otherwise all issues resolved. Probably fairly unlikely anyone who wasn't watching this issue tried to update in the last 7 minutes, heh.

@naffan2014 English only, please. Google Translate returns “Good idea! Although I do not understand it”.

In essence, brew update will also now upgrade homebrew-cask automatically.

@hovancik and others: Please make a new issue so we can avoid adding unrelated comments to this (merged) PR.

As a pre-emptive solution, please try:

brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup
brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update
