No problem! And yes, something like that. I'll put it on GitHub one I'm done the base server and the ability to apply a patch file.

I like the dedicated download page that links the most recent firmware by device model, and loathe the wiki page which is just terrible in that visitors first need to find out the mark from the device type, then have to hunt for the correct mark and most recent fw version.

No problem!

On a sidenote: would you think it sensible if kobopatch could also automatically install the final tgz to a mounted device? At least on Linux there's the ability to discover active mount points, from there on a check for direct .kobo subdirs could quickly discover mounted Kobo devices.

I'm not including that in kobopatch itself due to the possibility for easier mistakes and because that will also make people forget to install the firmware first (unless I detect that...maybe). For now, I do that using a combination of other tools I wrote (kobo-utils/kobo-utils, and some scripts in my kobopatch-config repo). I also use udev to do it automatically.
