Brew caskroom

@fturcheti thanks for your effort. I have added it to the readme (as seen in the commit above).

I'm using caskroom for some applications, it would be nice to have syncthing-macosx indexed. Keep in mind the upgrade mechanism of the OSX GUI is done with Sparkle (github releases) and is separate from the syncthing updater and caskroom updater.

Why this would be a problem? I know that its just matter of one instal and then your client keeps itself up to date. The thing is Caskroom cant update aplications anyway (not yet anyway). It also used to be not very good but now its much better.

I see caskroom more like convenience when you format your computer and you do first time batch install of open-source apps through shell script.

[xor-gate]

It is no problem, but people should keep that in mind. I totally agree with your comment.

I can't find it with cask search so I guess this was never done?

[xor-gate]

Thats right, no brew is available yet.

[iskrisis]

I gave it some time but honestly lost interest quickly since it wasnt that straightforward and it updates itself.

Sorry.

[xor-gate]

That's no problem, both syncthing-macosx (sparkle) and syncthing (upgrade server) itself update when updates are pushed.

Thanks guys for the report, I'm not going to support this distribution channel. As syncthing and syncthing-macosx have their own stable upgrade/install channel. I'm closing this but feel free to comment.

Please reconsider this, brew is ubiquitous and much better than any internally implemented upgrade mechanism.

You do not have to update the cask on new releases if the app already has the ability to upgrade itself, still for initial installation brew is the right way.

[xor-gate]

Other people are free to add it to brew. But it won't be initiated from the syncthing-macosx project.

I've just created a cask for syncthing-macos.
Now it's possible to install it with brew cask install syncthing-app.
