Zoom cask upgrade

[sosterberg]

Hi,

Just installed zoom cask using homebrew + Rosetta 2. After install Zoom suggests that I update to their version compatible with M1 apple computers.

How does this go with my Rosetta 2 installation? I.e. will it "break/mess up" the homebrew installation?

Don't think so but this is not the best way. Cask zoom don't have auto_update or version_latest (intentional according to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/HEAD/Casks/zoom.rb), so brew upgrade will upgrade it even if you have upgraded with Zoom's own mechanism, effectively leading to a reinstall. And this kind of switching between architectures doesn't sound so good.
If you have a ARMed Homebrew, I personally believe directly using the ARM version will be a better idea.
