Is a migration to casks planned? Brew linkapps seems to be deprecated and superceded by brew cask.

Hey @heyarne

Sorry for the late reply.

Since they are going to deprecate linkapps, I will provide cask version as well in a near future. And don't worry, I'll continue to maintain regular formula as well.

Hey there, just checking what the status on this is? Would love to use a version of GUI Emacs with the natural title bar and whatnot!

Hey @JonBash,

No progress so far and I can't give any estimates as I even didn't start working on this.

But you still can use GUI Emacs by launching Emacs.app from the cellar folder. I use it on the daily basis.

Taking an excerpt from https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsForMacOS, you can fix Spotlight for emacs-plus as well:

Spotlight indexes symlinks to files that are treated as system files, but it doesn’t show them in the GUI. It does show aliases though, so you could just command-option-drag /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-plus/*/Emacs.app to /Applications/ from Finder

This is working well for me.

As this repo is already running Travis CI and building Emacs, I would appreciate if the Travis CI would build per every commit and publish the binaries to GitHub or Binary, etc... and make a cask for it.

Yes, I use travis to run builds (just to test that everything builds). Note sure that it worth deploying on every build, because I only deploy 'default' configuration, which changes only once in a while.

AFAIK, you can only provide bottles for default options, right?

Regarding cask - I don't know how to do it, actually. I remember I've read some documentation about it, but don't remember any details. If you know how to do it, please share. Or even let's do it :)

@d12frosted
Yeah, you can only provide some default options for Homebrew cask(AFAIK cask != bottles)
I’ll see the .travis.yml tomorrow and (hopefully) make a PR; It’s too late here (4AM) :-)

@pcr910303 cool, let me know if you need anything

It’s too late here (4AM) :-)

I would say that it's too early 😸

What is the status of this?

@greened there is no update on this. If someone really wants to have cask formula, I would gladly take some help on this.

I am closing this issue as there is no interest in making this happen. I would still gladly accept cask support as a contribution, but there is no actions for me at this point of time.

Is copying the .app to Applications/ still the accepted solution as of today? Am reinstalling a new machine running Ventura 13.0 and was hoping I could install all my graphical applications using --cask which doesn't seem supported for Emacs+

Having cask take care of the linking would check my one requirement: finding Emacs.app from Spotlight without having to copy the .app on every update since links don't seem to be indexed

@d12frosted

You can copy the .app. As per cask - nothing changed. I don't have time to dig into this. If someone wants to bring it in, contributions are welcome :)
