Verification

• I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
• I have retried my command with --force.
• I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
• I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
• I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
• I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match / SHA256 mismatch error (do not open an issue before trying to open a PR to fix first).

Description of issue

Meld is now deprecated since the MacOS project seems to be discontinued, see: meld.rb.

There is another project to make Meld working on MacOS by @dehesselle available here: https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/meld_macos/-/releases

Is it possible to change the cask and use the new project/location of the MacOS build of Meld?

I don't think we should switch out the source, but I'd be happy to review a new cask

What do you mean by a new cask? The name of the project is still Meld, should it be like meld-something.rb? If so, what do you recommend? Fwiw, as a user, meld would be the expected name to me.

The name of the project is still Meld, should it be like meld-something.rb?

There is a guide for this in the docs, but generally it would end up as something like <new_author>-<package_name>.

Fwiw, as a user, meld would be the expected name to me.

Sure, but we can't have multiple packages with the same name. And it would be more harmful if we stopped meld from pointing to the source people have come to expect from it. When this becomes the source people expect we can probably rename it to meld
