Ungoogled-chromium: What is the recommended way to update this Chromium with "brew"?

Created on 25 Mar 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

I'm using ungoogled-chromium on a macbook and installed it with brew cask fetch eloston-chromium && brew cask install eloston-chromium

I'd like to know the recommended way of updating Chromium when a new release is out (either through Autoupdate or the command-line, I don't mind). So far I've been completely reinstalling it whenever newer versions are out -- but certainly there's a better way?

Hi, I'm someone who is providing binaries for macOS and currently by build is referenced in the cask code.
As far as I can tell there is currently no Autoupdate from ungoogled chromium itself; see also https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/861 and https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/754
I would say completely reinstalling it via command line would be one recommended way; see also https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/876
As tectiv3 commented there

you can force an upgrade with brew cask upgrade eloston-chromium

I don't know if there are plans to include an automatic check for newer versions (maybe as an opt-in feature), or there might be an extension that does that...

Thanks for your reply :)
brew cask upgrade eloston-chromium sounds like a good-enough answer for me!
