brew-cask.sh browser casks no longer available

[nathanieloffer]

Hi just a heads up if you weren't already aware but these three browsers are no longer available through brew:

browsers

brew cask install google-chrome-canary
brew cask install firefoxnightly
brew cask install webkit-nightly

Hello @nathanieloffer,

just type brew tap caskroom/versions. Then you can install alternate versions of Casks.

Regards,
Darius

How is your comment helpful? I stated the browsers that were being installed via this script are no longer available and you tell me to install alternate versions of them? An alternate version of nothing is nothing, it's like trying to multiply zero the answer is still the same.

The script executes the tap command in line 11. After that you can install your listed browsers. For instance the command brew cask search google-chrome shows all alternate versions of the Google Chrome browser:

$ brew cask search google-chrome
==> Exact match
google-chrome
==> Partial matches
google-chrome-beta    google-chrome-canary  google-chrome-dev

As you can see, there is the Cask google-chrome-canary, which you can install with brew cask install google-chrome-canary. But in general the script does it for you.

ayup.

versions gets these dudes.

closing, though it would make sense to put a comment next to these in the cask.sh :)
