# Where is Chromium installed?
INSTALLFOLDER='/Applications/Internet';
RELEASE_TYPE="snapshots"

# Get current installed version
CURRENT=$(xpath $INSTALLFOLDER/Chromium.app/Contents/Info.plist '/plist/dict/key[. = "SCMRevision"]/following-sibling::string[1]/text()' 2> /dev/null);
# If folder is not existing or parsing failed, force download
if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then
  CURRENT=-1;
fi

# Get latest version from Google
LATEST=$(curl -f -s http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-$RELEASE_TYPE/Mac/LAST_CHANGE);

  exit 1

# Do nothing if latest version is already installed
if [ "$CURRENT" -ge "$LATEST" ] ; then
  echo "Latest version already installed"
  exit 0
fi

echo "Current version '$CURRENT'"
echo "Downloading version '$LATEST' ..."

curl -o /tmp/chrome-mac-$LATEST.zip -f -L -# http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-$RELEASE_TYPE/Mac/$LATEST/chrome-mac.zip

echo "Extracting download..."

unzip -qq -o /tmp/chrome-mac-$LATEST.zip -d /tmp
rm /tmp/chrome-mac-$LATEST.zip

if [ -d $INSTALLFOLDER/Chromium.app ] ; then
  mv $INSTALLFOLDER/Chromium.app ~/.Trash/Chromium.app
fi

mv /tmp/chrome-mac/Chromium.app $INSTALLFOLDER/Chromium.app
rm -R /tmp/chrome-mac

I prefer it this way - keeps the temporary files in /tmp and puts the old version in the trash.

Thanks, your changes are integrated.

Just thought you'd like to have this. I hex edited chromatic to use the new URL's for nightlies and all is working fine now. You can download it at http://dl.--dropbox.com--/u/970025/Chromatic.zip

NOTE from TheM: remove the dashes from the domain if you really want to download it. I've not tested it and I'll wait for the official release. So use it at your own risk.

Added version check. Omitting download if unnecessary.

Note to myself: do not add more features in a simple bash script, even more Perl is required
