After making all changes to the cask:

  • brew cask audit --download {{cask_file}} is error-free.
  • brew cask style --fix {{cask_file}} reports no offenses.
  • The commit message includes the cask’s name and version.
  • The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

There was an refused cask in #51552 because the download URL was volatile. This no longer seems to be the case.

Everything except uninstall on travis works now. After installation an instance of pcloud (com.pcloud.pcloud.macos) is running. It needs to be killed before uninstalling. Any help appreciated.

Thank you, but if this needs parsing a JSON response, we don’t want it. url do is meant to be used for nightly releases and the like, so they can be kept up to date. If this is needed for a stable release, than it’s unlikely the devs are happy we’re linking to it directly, and we’d rather not include it.

@vitorgalvao Thanks for the review. It's unfortunate you don't support this in the stable release. In this case it is a feature of pCloud itself. Release packages of pCloud are hosted on the same infrastructure as the cloud storage (which makes sense if you are a cloud storage company ;-)

Creating and accessing URL tokens are part of their API to generate secure and scalable one time URLs for downloading content. (see https://docs.pcloud.com/methods/public_links/getpublinkdownload.html)

Obviously there are other people interessted in this (see #51552) but if it is against your policy fair enough.

I understand their reason for doing it, but it’s incompatible with our system. URLs with changing tokens exist to make it hard to perform automomated downloads, and are nor worth the hassle for us.

OK I understand. If this is useful for someone else I created a gist for installing pCloud drive on a Mac via homebrew cask: https://gist.github.com/tomgross/bae4f30023272d8c8c0d920b62720c6b

Instead of a gist, consider a tap.
