Comment on Homebrew, de facto standard package manager for macOS, now forces Apple's $99/yr notarization bullshit for all casks.

I never understood what a “cask” in the brew lanuage means. I just do installs and if the brew install instructions involves a cask I just do it. How do I figure out which packages this will have an effect on on my system?

Casks are as a rule GUI applications. So if you want to install Firefox with homebrew would need to install it via a cask.

brew list --cask

I think they’ve started flagging unnotarized apps as (deprecated), so maybe do a brew info on each.

  You can simply run brew doctor and it will show you all deprecated casks.
