Feature Request: Add global greedy option in caskArgs

[x6ufeng]

Note

👉 Moved to LnL7/nix-darwin#1201

Currently, to enable greedy updates for casks, we need to manually add the greedy option to each cask definition like this:

casks = [
{
name = "anytype";
greedy = true;
}
{
name = "vscodium";
greedy = true;
}
];

This becomes tedious and repetitive when managing multiple casks. It would be more convenient to have a global option in caskArgs, similar to how no_quarantine works:

homebrew = {
enable = true;
caskArgs = {
greedy = true; # Would apply to all casks
no_quarantine = true;
};
casks = [
"anytype"
"vscodium"
];
};

This would simplify configuration and maintain consistency across all casks while reducing the likelihood of configuration errors.

Hi, this is better submitted to https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin.

This repo implements the nix-homebrew.* options which install Homebrew itself, and the homebrew.* options in upstream nix-darwin manage packages to be installed with Homebrew.

Please leave a link here after you create the issue in the nix-darwin repo, thanks!
