An Archlinux script to refresh Identicurse.
#!/bin/bash
# reCurse
# =======
# Identicurse is awesome. Using the Git development branch is fun!
# But sometimes it crashes! o...o
# When that happens I feel obligated to file a bug report.
# But before I file a bug report, I should pull the latest HEAD from master to
# check if the bug is still present.
# It can get old fast... real fast.
# So I made that process easier for Archlinux folken.
# Documentation is available at [here](http://nuclearsandwich.com/recurse.html)
# This handy script was written by nuclearsandwich <steven@nuclearsandwich.com>
# [@nuclearsandwich@identi.ca](http://identi.ca/nuclearsandwich) feel free to
# ask me questions on identi.ca or via email.
# The directory in which the Identicurse PKGBUID resides.
CURSEDIR=$HOME/.abs/identicurse
# The relative path to the git repo.
REPODIR=src/identicurse
# Cache the current working directory and
# Change into the Identicurse directory and clean it out.
WORKINGDIR=`pwd`
cd $CURSEDIR
echo "=== Cleaning stale packages from $CURSEDIR"
rm identicurse*.pkg.tar.xz
# Make and install the new package.
echo "=== Building and installing..."
makepkg -i
# Tell me what I just installed.
printf "\n\n=== Updated Identicurse-git to\n"
cd $REPODIR && git log -n1
# Return to your port of origin.
echo "=== All finished."
cd $WORKINGDIR
