brew cask formula

[thorink]

I added a brew cask formula for TodoTxtMac. Maybe you would include the commands to install it via homebrew cask:

brew cask install todotxtmac

I try to update the formula as good as possible. However, if you like you can maintain it. It's easier for you to stay on track with new releases.

@thorink Thanks for doing that. I don't use homebrew but it seems like a great project. I don't think there are any commands that need to be added for installation. A manual install involves unzipping the application ZIP file into the Applications folder...and that's it.

@thorink I just published release 1.2.4 of TodoTxtMac.

updated cask formula and started pull-request. can i somehow subscribe for new releases? then we could close this issue and i keep an eye on the formula…

[mjdescy]

This isn't perfect, but releases are part of my activity RRS feed.

What do I need to do to contribute a release to you?

[thorink]

Updating the cask formula? I read https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and followed the instructions to add the initial formula. Updating is basically changing the version number, the link to the zip file and the hash of the zip file, testing it and do a pull request. If you don't use homebrew or brew cask, i think you first have to install it. But for now i can take care of the formula.

@thorink I'm pinging you to notify you of TodoTxtMac Version 1.2.5.

[thorink]

updated the cask. note, that the cask name got changed from 'todotxtmac' to only 'todotxt'. In general they remove parts like "mac" or "osx" from the cask name because it is a mac tool and people of course always want to use the mac version of something. But I don't think that is a good idea in this case. This is not the Mac version of some tool, but one among others. Also, someone could confuse it with the command line tool. I try to get the old name back again. What do you think? Are you okay with both names?

[mjdescy]

I agree with you. Please try to get the old name back. "TodoTxtMac" is the name of the app, and it is not cross-platform. As you said, calling it "Todotxt" might lead people to believe they are downloading the todo.txt command-line tools, which are a lot more well-known than my app. Also, there are other Todo.txt apps for the Mac platform, though mine is the only one I know about that is native Cocoa/Objective-C.

@thorink I'm pinging you to notify you of TodoTxtMac Version 1.2.6.

[thorink]

Okay, updated the formula… Btw. they refused to change the formula back to todotxtmac. The argued:

In short, what we are calling the "name" is not the "name" but the shortest unique token. This token never captures the fine points of branding, because it must answer to other constraints.

I added a name tag, which captures the full app name "TodoTxtMac". Hope you can live with that.

@thorink One last ping to alert you of a new update, version 1.2.8. I plan to take over the brew cask formula updates for you next month. I have had trouble getting homebrew to work on my system, which is why I haven't starting doing it yet.

[thorink]

Okay, updated the formula. Sorry for the delay and Merry Christmas!

[mjdescy]

Thanks, @thorink. Merry Christmas to you, too!

BTW, I finally fixed homebrew on my Mac this week and should be able to take over updating the brew cask formula in time for the next TodoTxtMac release.

[thorink]

All right!
