nuxeo: request for deprecation/removal — installs end-of-life version 11.4.42

[ThibArg]

brew config AND brew doctor output OR brew gist-logs <formula> link

The nuxeo formula installs version 11.4.42, which is an end-of-life version of Nuxeo no longer maintained or supported by the upstream vendor (Hyland/Nuxeo). This version is approximately 10 years old.

Installing it today leads users to a broken, unsupported product. The formula qualifies for deprecation under Homebrew's criteria: the software has been discontinued upstream for this version.

I am a representative of the Nuxeo/Hyland team and can confirm this version is no longer maintained. Arnaud Kerven left the company 4 years ago, and likely can't make the change. Notice Hyland.com is the owner of Nuxeo since ~2021.

Suggested action: disable! with reason :unmaintained.

Verification

• My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.
• I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.
• My issue is not about a failure to build a formula from source.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

The formula does install Nuxeo, but the version is old, not secure, requires old and unsupported version of related framework/tools (database, elasfiicsearch, ffmpeg, ...)

What happened (include all command output)?

Nothing bad happened, Nuxeo is installed but it's way too old

What did you expect to happen?

Best case: no formula available. If not possible, a warning that the version is old, the formula not maintained and it should not be used anymore.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

Just brew install nuxeo works, but it should not :-)

What is the latest nuxeo version? Because https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/master/installing-the-nuxeo-platform-on-mac-os/ links to 11.4.42. And https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo/tags suggests that it might be 10.10 instead.

From glance, newer versions may be following YYYY.x version scheme and are no longer tagged:

• 2025.17 release notes - https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/nuxeo-server-release-notes/
• 2025.12 mention in commit - nuxeo/nuxeo@cca3444
• 11.4 -> 2021.0 change - nuxeo/nuxeo@4d9e13a

If there is no publicly accessible (w/o login) OSS-licensed ZIP distribution or a git tagged source, then I am fine with deprecation.
