Patch Grabbing Script

This is a little script that you can use on Linux to automatically grab the sources for Cool VL Viewer's patches. I had some assistance from falconindy on the #archlinux IRC channel.

You just run this script, and it will auto-download the patch sources into the current working directory:


	Code: #!/bin/bash rm foo curl -s 'http://sldev.free.fr/patches/12500/' \| xmllint --html --xpath '//a[contains(@href, "patch.bz2")]/@href' - 2>/dev/null \| sed 's/ \?href="$[^"]\+$"/\1\n/g' > foo wget -B http://sldev.free.fr/patches/12500/ -i - < ./foo

If there is already a script somewhere on the site that does something similar, my head will explode.

Re: Patch Grabbing Script

Your script would fail to grab the *.zip files associated with some of the patches, plus"--xpath" is apparently not recognized in my version of xmllint...

Here is a better script:


	Code: #!/bin/bash VERSION=12500 BASEURL="http://sldev.free.fr/patches/$VERSION/" LIST="cvlv_patch_list.txt" curl -s "$BASEURL" \| grep slviewer \| cut -d '"' -f 6 >$LIST wget -B "$BASEURL" -i - <$LIST rm -f $LIST

...

wget -m -k --no-parent http://.....

one line.
ok, you'd have a few surplus html files after this, but still. one line, no temp files.

Re: Patch Grabbing Script

Well, if the temp file is what annoys you, here's another script, that will only fetch the relevant files, and will also save you (compared to the first script) the use of curl:


	Code: #!/bin/bash VERSION=12500 BASEURL="http://sldev.free.fr/patches/$VERSION/" wget -q -O - "$BASEURL" \| grep slviewer \| cut -d '"' -f 6 \| wget -B "$BASEURL" -i -
