fix: drop unsupported macOS floor from Homebrew cask#492
Merged
Conversation
`depends_on macos: ">= :high_sierra"` errors on current Homebrew: High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14) were removed from Homebrew's known macOS versions, so loading the cask raises "Calling `depends_on macos: :high_sierra` is disabled". catalina and big_sur are already scheduled for removal (2026/2027), so any macOS symbol floor is a future time-bomb that re-breaks on each release re-render. Drop the floor entirely. The real minimum (Electron 42 => macOS 11+) is enforced at runtime and documented in the install guide; encoding it in a removable cask symbol only rots. The cask now loads on every Homebrew-supported macOS. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
brew install --cask dataiku/tap/kiji-privacy-proxyfails on current Homebrew:The cask template uses
depends_on macos: ">= :high_sierra". Homebrew has removed the High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14) symbols from its known macOS versions, so the cask no longer loads. Verified against Homebrew 5.1.14: itsMacOSVersion::SYMBOLSnow bottoms out atcatalina(10.15), and bothcatalinaandbig_surare already flaggedodisabledfor removal in 2026/2027.So any hard-coded macOS symbol is a recurring time-bomb — it re-breaks on every release re-render once Homebrew drops that version.
Fix
Drop the
depends_on macos:line. The real minimum (Electron 42 ⇒ macOS 11+) is enforced at runtime by the app and documented in the install guide; encoding it as a removable cask symbol just rots. Verified the cask loads cleanly with the line removed (brew info --casksucceeds).If an explicit guard is later desired, use a currently-supported symbol, e.g.
depends_on macos: ">= :monterey"(note: numeric strings like">= 11"are not accepted — Homebrew requires the symbol form).Note
The already-published v1.1.3 cask in
dataiku/homebrew-tapwas hot-patched directly to unblock installs now. This PR makes the template match so the next release re-renders correctly. Merge this before cutting the next release, otherwise the render reintroduces the broken line.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
