It can easily be updated with the release script, and preferably owned under your larsenwork github.

Example casks:

cask :v1 => 'font-monoid' do
  version :latest
  sha256 :no_check

  # github.com is the official download host per the vendor homepage
  url 'https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/blob/release/Monoid.zip?raw=true'
  homepage 'http://larsenwork.com/monoid/'
  license :ofl

  font 'Monoid-Bold.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Oblique.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Regular.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Retina.ttf'
end
cask :v1 => 'font-monoid-xtralarge-dollar-asterisk-l-nocalt' do
  version :latest
  sha256 :no_check

  # github.com is the official download host per the vendor homepage
  url 'https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/blob/release/Monoid-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.zip?raw=true'
  homepage 'http://larsenwork.com/monoid/'
  license :ofl

  font 'Monoid-Bold-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Oblique-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Regular-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Retina-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
end

Using https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/blob/release/Monoid.zip?raw=true links is a no-go as far as I've understood? We're currently using rawgit + version.js to serve the binaries.

A quick glance in the other thread lead me to believe it has already been added?

sscotth commented 9 years ago

They are probably going to add the base font, but all the variants will need their own cask file.

Homebrew, from what I understand, doesn't really have a consensus on this, but several casks use "raw=true"1, and I can't find any that use rawgit. Either way, I don't think that is a big deal and can use rawgit.

Also, you can reference the latest version with https://cdn.rawgit.com/larsenwork/monoid/release/Monoid.zip like I did above, or you can use a versioned cask like this:

cask :v1 => 'font-monoid' do
  version '0.53'
  sha256 '8413e4308ef10b7121982d81f1c68d29e27ebcceccb536b00458cdb3f275b00d'

  # rawgit.com is the official download host per the vendor homepage
  url 'https://cdn.rawgit.com/larsenwork/monoid/4d2022f8083116435127c863977281ac658de735/Monoid.zip'
  homepage 'http://larsenwork.com/monoid/'
  license :ofl

  font 'Monoid-Bold.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Oblique.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Regular.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Retina.ttf'
end

and 

cask :v1 => 'font-monoid-xtralarge-dollar-asterisk-l-nocalt' do
  version '0.53'
  sha256 '5e1e2472079236a2ad07b844545bc56a5e83c8989424957821313b8b36318d7e'

  # rawgit.com is the official download host per the vendor homepage
  url 'https://cdn.rawgit.com/larsenwork/monoid/4d2022f8083116435127c863977281ac658de735/Monoid-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.zip'
  homepage 'http://larsenwork.com/monoid/'
  license :ofl

  font 'Monoid-Bold-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Oblique-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Regular-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
  font 'Monoid-Retina-XtraLarge-Dollar-Asterisk-l-NoCalt.ttf'
end

Ok, thanks for the clarification - problem with all the versions is they might change over time based on user input (e.g. I'm soon changing the default 3 so what used to the alternate will be the default and vice versa) so for now I think it's better just telling people to stop by larsenwork.com/monoid

sscotth commented 9 years ago

I believe this will stabilize quickly, but I think no matter what solution, there will be people that might get caught by a default switch like you mentioned.

larsenwork commented 9 years ago

Seems like work with little or no gain to me to be honest. I'm perfectly fine with just the default version being added to default Caskroom-fonts and pointing users to larsenwork.com/monoid for custom versions. But thanks for the suggestion and clarifications :+1:
