Static URL for CraftBukkit JAR

Hi Guys,

Just an idea, is there a static URL that you guys could specify for future updates to the craftbukkit jar? The reason I ask is I imagine there's quite a few server operators like myself who use an autoupdating script (I wrote my own), which use wget or similar to download the latest .jar available.

Are there any plans to have all future releases accessible by a static URL? That would be a pretty awesome tool for those of us who love to write scripts.

Cheers

 

It already is static

Also this is my update script for linux. This is an extract of my init script from an earlier post.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
## Update options
UPDATE_MD5="http://artifacts.lukegb.com/artifactory/plugins-snapshot/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.md5"  #the download path for the md5 file
UPDATE_FILE="http://artifacts.lukegb.com/artifactory/plugins-snapshot/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"     #the download path for the main server jar file
UPDATE_BUILD_INFO="http://artifacts.lukegb.com/artifactory/plugins-snapshot/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:maven-metadata.xml"   #the build info file
GAME_FILE="craftbukkit"         #the filename to store the mod ass (i just use craftbukkit and remove the version"
GAMEPATH='/var/games/mc-1'
 
service_update() {
        echo "Stopping and Clearing all Service files."
        echo "Downloading latest md5"
        wget -q -O $GAMEPATH/NEW-$GAME_FILE.md5 $UPDATE_MD5
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                NEW_MD5=`cat $GAMEPATH/NEW-$GAME_FILE.md5`
                echo "New MD5: $NEW_MD5"
                if [ -f $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.md5 ]; then
                        OLD_MD5=`cat $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.md5`
                        echo "LAST MD5: $OLD_MD5"
                        if [ "$OLD_MD5" == "$NEW_MD5" ]; then
                                echo "No new update"
                                exit 0
                        fi
                fi
                echo "Downloading new update file"
                wget -q -O $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.tmp $UPDATE_FILE
                if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                        echo "File downloaded successfully"
                        NEW_FILE_MD5=`md5sum $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.tmp | awk '{print $1}'`
                        if [ "$NEW_FILE_MD5" == "$NEW_MD5" ]; then
                                echo "Update file valid Stopping server and copying file over"
                                service_stop
                                service_clear
                                sleep 2
                                service_start
                                mv -f $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.tmp $GAMEPATH/bin/$GAME_FILE.jar
                                mv -f $GAMEPATH/NEW-$GAME_FILE.md5 $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.md5
                                rm -f $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE-buildinfo.xml
                                wget -q -O $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE-buildinfo.xml $UPDATE_BUILD_INFO
                                echo "BUILD INFO:"
                                cat $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE-buildinfo.xml
                        fi
                else
                        echo "File Download Failed"
                        rm $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.tmp
                        rm $GAMEPATH/$GAME_FILE.md5
                fi
        else
                echo "MD5 download failed unable to check for new update"
        fi
}

 

I am pretty certain that URL won't remain the same for the entire development of craftbukkit. That's kinda what was getting at, the long-term solution . Unless of course the developers integrate an auto-update feature, in which case this suggestion is moot

 

I think there was a previous post about that possibility same with the whole plugin management thingie.
