After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

  • Named the cask according to the token reference.
  • Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
  • brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
    • Problem: GitHub fork (not canonical repository)
    • The project I'm trying to add is a fork of another (unmaintained) project, yet it's now under a different name.
  • HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
  • brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

I want to add a cask for the maintained fork eurkey-next keyboard layout. There is already an existing cask for eurkey, but the original project is unmaintained, as is an in-between fork of it. Due to the change in naming of the project, I figured using eurkey-next to disambiguate is more appropriate.

Discussion in project: felixfoertsch/EurKEY-Next#18.

Does this version eventually replace the non "next" version?

Hmm good question. I think it could, at least on homebrew?

Even the current cask was an independent project from the original eurkey which only actively supports Windows and Linux, so there is no central authority on this I believe.

Happy to update the PR to replace the current eurkey instead of adding a new cask.
