Add zap stanza for Paragon Casks

[RogerThiede]

References #7327

The current uninstall stanzas for cask paragon-ntfs and cask paragon-extfs leave some files and folders on the system in preparation for a re-install later. A zap stanza would be needed to eliminate these files and folders.

"~/Library/Application Support/Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X/.notfirsttime"
"~/Library/Preferences/com.paragon-software.filesystems.ntfs.plist"
"~/Library/Preferences/com.paragon-software.NTFS.prefpane.plist"
"/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS10"
"/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS12"
"/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS14"

"~/Library/Application Support/Paragon ExtFS for Mac OS X/.notfirsttime"
"~/Library/Preferences/com.paragon-software.filesystems.extfs.plist"
"/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/ExtFS9"

It is not clear to me why paragon-ntfs references two similar preference pane plists; I expect one of them is from an older version of paragon-ntfs.

Should a zap stanza remove all known instances of historical installations, or should a zap stanza only touch files that the most recent known brew cask install paragon-ntfs would create?

That one. Otherwise we’d have a confusing ever-expanding list.

Care to submit the PR?

I plan to submit a PR, however I just realized that if a zap stanza only touched files from the most recent known brew cask install paragon-ntfs, then files installed by older versions have an opportunity to never be removed.

For example, the use case:

• Fresh System
• brew cask install paragon-ntfs
• Paragon creates a new version such as changing from NTFS14 to NTFS15
• Developers update paragon-ntfs.rb to install newer version as well as zapping only newer version
• brew update
• User still has NTFS14 installed and performs brew cask zap paragon-ntfs
• User is left with stale NTFS14 file.
• brew cask install paragon-ntfs

You are correct. However, that is a limitation of the system as it works currently. In the future, we’d like to have glob support (i.e. /Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS* would consider, from your examples, 10, 12, 14).

As we don’t support it yet, we have to keep only the newer versions. You can do something like this, though. It won’t work for any version currently, but will be ready for when the feature lands.

@Haodong Next time, open up an new issue. Your error is unrelated.

Fixed in #16474
