# Unofficial Hombrew Cask for Audacity 2.3.3 (recent 64-bit version) | |
# Made entirely for fun and to demonstrate how to get around fosshub's limitations. | |
# Problem: Audacity's binary is hosted on fosshub and they don't provide a fixed url! The seems to intentionally try to prevent "hot-linking". | |
# Solution: Make a request to fosshub's special XHR endpoint to get the signed download url. Then just pass that URL to Homebrew | |
