Tracking issue for migrating casks to homebrew/cask

[cho-m]

This is a tracking issue for migrating casks to homebrew/cask. If a specific task requires further discussion then we can split it off into its own issue.

• Versioned cask naming convention

  • Decide on scheme. Sounds like name@(version|channel) had no disagreement at Deprecate homebrew-cask-versions and migrate casks to homebrew-cask homebrew-cask#112102 (comment)
  • Update blocking audit for @ token - cask/audit: allow @ for versioned casks brew#16865
  • Non-blocking audit updates for token - cask/audit: allow dots in version and check unversioned cask brew#16882

• Migration approach

  • Decide on approach. Options mentioned include:
    1. Use tap_migration in homebrew/cask-versions to migrate and rename in one step (advantage: cleaner on homebrew/cask side?)
    2. Use tap_migration in homebrew/cask-versions to migrate and use cask_renames in homebrew/cask to rename (advantage: may allow rename to work even if this repo is untapped)
  • Check no issues via common user scenarios, e.g.
    • JSON API migration
    • Non-API migration and handling around untapped homebrew/cask.
    • Maybe auto_updates true Casks?

• Migration with criteria (e.g. non-deprecate/disabled with either sufficient install count or maintainer usage)
