Repost of KennySP's message I accidentally nuked. *Note to self: Move edit button to top of message*
In the spirit of open source:
The script I use to get this code is:
#!/bin/bash
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.seq.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/seq co showeq
rm -f showeq.tar.gz
tar -cvf showeq.tar showeq
gzip showeq.tar
ncftpput -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> <YOUR DOMAIN> /path/to/showeq showeq.tar.gz
echo "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>ShowEQ CVS</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>" > index.html
echo "<A HREF=\"showeq.tar.gz\">ShowEQ.tar.gz</A> created " >> index.html
date >> index.html
echo "<BR>The md5sum of the tarball is: " >> index.html
md5sum showeq.tar.gz >> index.html
echo "</BODY></HTML>" >> index.html
ncftpput -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> <YOUR DOMAIN> /path/to/showeq index.html
That script is called MirrorCVS.sh and is located in /root
I add the following to my crontab to make it run daily:
5 0 * * * bash /root/MirrorCVS.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
This is done for my own ease of use, if others find it useful, so be it. The *BEST* way of getting ShowEQ is directly via CVS as Ratt says. I'm just firewalled from CVS at the office.
I'm not trying to say that I'm an official source, I'm not trying to say this is the best place to get it. All I am saying is that if you need a tarball of the latest source for some reason it's available at that souce.
Is there any service on Sourceforge that allows daily creation of tarball releases?
