Latest Stable/Beta redirects/links for scripting download purposes?

[delicatepc]

SOLVED - See last post.

Hi,

Is there a standard link of fetching latest stable/beta? For example:
Stable

Code: Select all

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/latest/SABnzbd-latest-src.tar.gz

Beta

Code: Select all

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus-beta/latest/SABnzbd-latest-src.tar.gz

I have created a script for FreeNAS that will install SABnzbd 0.5.0.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freen ... =15&t=6511

However I would like to improve the script and have it fetch the latest stable and/or beta available (as well as offer an option of latest known working). I want to avoid hardcoding links as much as I can so that it the script can still be relevant down the line.

Today latest stable build link look like this:

Code: Select all

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd-0.5.0/SABnzbd-0.5.0-src.tar.gz

Today latest beta link looks like this:

Code: Select all

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus-beta/0.5.2RC1/SABnzbd-0.5.2RC1-src.tar.gz

The script would give the user 4 options:
1) Install/Upgrade SABnzbd 0.5.0 (tested good)
2) Install/Upgrade SABnzbd latest stable
3) Install/Upgrade SAbnzbd latest beta
4) Quit

Alas, you'll need to write a clever script.
We have little control over how SF.net offers downloads.

Would you have any suggestions on what to use as the tie in?

Some ideas that floating in my heads:
1. Have a page on SABnzbd.org that redirects to the latest stable and beta. Its not automated solution but it has to be way to be standardized and consistent (and maintaince it would be low).
2. Same idea as above except use freenas.org as host. Not bad either but has a higher potential to fall wayward.
3. Use some sort of fetch method of discovering what is available today (ie fetch structure of sabnzbd.org and find the version number). Best solution, hardest for me, and not sure on the feasibility.
4. Bribe the sourceforge to hack together a solution

Realistically though it would be a matter of finding a good tie in (doesn't have to last forever but a decent amount of time)...

open to ideas....

thank you,

It's actually simpler than I thought.
Just read our our "latest" link.
Fetch this URL: http://sabnzbdplus.sourceforge.net/version/latest
You'll get a simple text file that contains the link to the latests stable version and optionally the latest Alpha/Beta/RC.

Edit: No it's not easy: it doesn't point to the actual files.
It does however contain the version numbers which are relatively simple to convert to paths and filenames.

Hmm this is looking good. Not the absolute best but very solid because i believe this is used by SABnzbd itself tell user a newer version is available.

Time to learn how to script it to pull these numbers and work some magic....

Solved. This is for FreeNAS: https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/free ... =15&t=6511

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#Define the architeture of the box
arch=`uname -m`
echo "      *******Archeticture of Machine is" $arch "*******"

echo
#Pull latest version number and assign to variable and then display it
stable=($(fetch -q -o - http://sabnzbdplus.sourceforge.net/version/latest | awk '/0/{gsub(/\015/,"");print}'))
beta=($(fetch -q -o - http://sabnzbdplus.sourceforge.net/version/latest | awk '/2/{gsub(/\015/,"");print}'))
echo "         Latest SABnzbd Stable version is: $stable"
