Calibre Autoupdater for Linux
Hi
I have wrote a small shell script for Linux which Calibre Updated automatically when a new version is available. Thought so now it is time to share the part with the world. git clone https://code.google.com/p/calibre-autoupdate/ Regards Leon |

Thank you for sharing with the calibre community. Now we have OSX, Windows and Linux covered by a user supplied auto-updater script.

What is wrong with Kovid's one-liner?
There is a calibre-upgrade.sh here Quote:

If you had separated that info out from the 3 page thread it certainly could have been made a sticky. In case you missed it I'm clueless when it comes to Linux.
How about starting a thread with the Updater, calibre-uninstall, and an "isolated" updater you mentioned with an appropriate title and I'll be glad to give you the official reigns of the Linux sticky. |

I created a thread here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=237233, describing the process. Can you sticky it? |

This just looks kind of complicated, when all you really need to do is run Kovid's installer with a cron job. Unless there is some extra benefit I couldn't see? Your scripts are in German, so it was kind of difficult to follow the variable names and I couldn't read the comments. But it looked like you were duplicating Kovid's script and not much else. Also, you were using sed and grep to find the current and latest versions somehow? It can be done simpler, as I demonstrated, using calibre-debug to report on itself, and using the page http://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/latest_version instead of parsing the download redirect. |
