* We have some conventions for projects without version-specific URLs. `latest`
is a common version for those, but you can grep through the existing Casks for
other examples.
* One method for finding package bundle id(s) is the following:
1. Unpack `/path/to/my.pkg` (replace with your package name) with `pkgutil --expand /path/to/my.pkg /tmp/expanded.unpkg`.
2. The unpacked package is a folder. Bundle id(s) are contained within files named `PackageInfo`. These files can be found
with the command `find /tmp/expanded.unpkg -name PackageInfo`.
3. `PackageInfo` files are XML files, and bundle id(s) are found within the `identifier` attributes of `<pkg-info>` tags that look like
`<pkg-info ... identifier="com.oracle.jdk7u51" ... >`, where extraneous attributes have been snipped out and replaced with ellipses.
4. Once bundle id(s) have been identified, the unpacked package directory can be deleted.
