Some casks here, some casks there...

[pquodling]

I went looking to upgrade some cask apps (still not clear if there is a "best way" to do that), and something didn't seem right - Digging further, I find that about half of my cask apps sitting in /Applications point to /usr/local/Caskroom/Appname/ and half point to /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/Appname/.

Is this right/expected? Is there a way to "fix this"?

There’s no automated way to fix that, no.

That wasn’t on us, though, and has never been reported before. The only reason for that to happen was if you messed with the caskroom option.

I messed up? I just followed the basic instructions to install - so, if there is no automated way, is there a manual way? I am guessing uninstalling all apps in the /usr/Local/Caskroom directory, doing a "cleanup" and then re-installing them, should put them where they should be, which as I read it, is /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/appname/

I didn’t say you messed up, I said you messed with an option. The difference in meaning is huge.

Yes, the manual way is by doing what you said.

Be sure to check #13201 and #13966 beforehand, though. The way we install will be changing soon.
