shell script to get the latest nightly (old)

Quote from JoeAverage

No ! No ! Noooooooo !

- the download server URL has changed.

- my script contains a bug (sorting empty lists) I realized yesterday

- I need to test my script with that changes first

- when the new URL is official I'll release a new script (if the script runs with the new URL at all)

heitbaum

is your comment #69 a statement that the new URL is official ?

${Forum-Admin}

I would like to open a new thread when I will release the new script, cause this thread belongs to the elder script.

thread should be the same as this one !

is this realizeable ?

how ?

What do I need to do ?

The URIs in the 11.0 directory are the proposed end state (except Generic and RPi)

The 10.0 directory will be the same.

The directories for Generic and RPi (should be)

11.0/RPi/RPi2

11.0/RPi/RPi4

11.0/Generic/Generic

11.0/Generic/Generic-legacy

no the current test3 is just temp till everything works then it get shifted to test

about the new version, just create a new thread and we close the old one

Now that v0.10 is missing in action, I tried to create a much much simpler script that would just download the latest available nightly in the .update folder. And since my scripting abilities are weak, I decided to provide the commit name by hand, i.e. the script will ask the user to enter it manually.

But I am having issues getting the date part. On my end, new nightlies (99% of the time) have yesterday's date, e.g. right now its 20220719 on my end and the latest nightly is from 20220718.

Getting that date on my pc is easy peasy

$ date --date=yesterday +%Y%m%d
20220718

But on le, where date is part of busybox, the above is not doable, although it supposedly supports the --date parameter!

# date --date=yesterday +%Y%m%d
date: invalid date 'yesterday'

# date --help
BusyBox v1.32.1 (2022-07-18 22:30:02 UTC) multi-call binary.

Usage: date [OPTIONS] [+FMT] [TIME]
...
-d,--date TIME  Display TIME, not 'now'
...

There is a workaround for it that simply gets today's date output from %s and substracts 84600 seconds so as to get yesterday's date. This is the only documented solution I have found, which does get it right when using seconds, but I can not get it to output the date as I said above!

# date -D %s -d $(( $(date +%s) - 86400 ))
Mon Jul 18 09:02:11 EEST 2022

# date -D %Y%m%d -d $(( $(date +%s) - 86400 ))
date: invalid date '1658124175'

My little "it's something" script! I know it lacks a lot compared to yours, but it is all I can do.

#!/bin/bash
source /etc/os-release
echo You are on $VERSION for $LIBREELEC_ARCH
read -p 'Date ' thedate
read -p 'Commit ' thecommit
echo Downloading image $thedate-$thecommit
wget --spider https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/$LIBREELEC_PROJECT/$LIBREELEC_DEVICE/LibreELEC-$LIBREELEC_ARCH-11.0-nightly-$thedate-$thecommit.img.gz
#mv *.img.gz .update/

If anyone wants to test it, please uncomment the line with mv and remove the --spider option from wget. They are the script's "safety pins".

shell script to get the lastest nightly

as a command line user I wrote a shell script to download nightlies for updates/downgrades

script supports the newer directory structure on the nightly download server and LE 11 nightlies.

What is does

- reads out /etc/os-release to get the nightly variant from your currently running LE box

- checks the download server for last (for updates) and previous (for downgrades) nightlies

where "updates" means: to the newest on the download server (in one step ! I don't know if that always work out)


where…
