Firefox nightly

[ghost]

Add the firefox nightly app from http://nightly.mozilla.org

Please see #142, regarding this.

Sorry, noob here with brew cask and pull requests. Didn't see this was already being discussed.

[vitorgalvao]

No problem, happens from time to time. The issue has been there for some time, if you have some new input, it’s very welcome.

[ghost]

Just a thought, but regarding the nightly build apps, wouldn't it be smart for now to just include theses as casks until the entire situation is solved so that people have these available?

[vitorgalvao]

We’re not sure, which is why the pull requests for these apps linger, instead of being outright rejected. Nightly builds are themselves a pain, and we haven’t even decided on how to manage those.

I'm amenable to this idea for stop-gap inclusion of these apps since it seems like there is sufficient demand for them.

@phinze I think thats a great temporary solution. Ideally there would be a better format as the forums have suggested, but just to give people the ability to download now, seems like a great idea.

@apermanentwreck Can you pick out the firefox commit? It's currently bundled with webkit/merge branch commits.

[ghost]

@nanoxd, will do.

[iamnewton]

@nanoxd reverted/removed the Webkit merge.

[nanoxd]

@apermanentwreck Can you squash the commits?

[ghost]

How do I do that?

[nanoxd]

@apermanentwreck See this blog article Once you rebase, you'll have to do a force push.

[iamnewton]

Does that work?

[nanoxd]

No, you added another merge commit. We can close this PR and reopen with a solo commit for this cask 😄

[iamnewton]

Sorry, this is all relatively new to me and I keep merging in the master branch because its what I'm used to doing.

[iamnewton]

So what do I need to do to get this exactly as you guys apparently need it?

[nanoxd]

@chrisopedia No worries! The easiest way is to close this pull request, create a new branch with the firefox-nightly cask, commit your changes, open a new pull request, and merge!

[iamnewton]

I think I've surely fucked this up, so I'm going to do some research and then put this together properly.

[nanoxd]

You have to start from scratch. Here are the steps to follow:

1. On your machine, run git checkout master
2. Create a new branch using git checkout -b FirefoxNightly
3. Verify that the firefox-nightly cask does not exist.
4. Create a new firefox-nightly cask and open in your favorite editor.
5. Update the URL for the alpha to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-28.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg
6. Change the version
7. Remove the checksum (SHA1) and set it to no_checksum
8. Push your changes to your fork of brew-cask and open a new PR

[iamnewton]

Done.
