I imagine the Chromium team will implement Sparkle-powered updates
soon, but for now here's a script you can use:
If you're handy with the Terminal, paste the following into a file,
name it with a *.sh extension, chmod +x it. If you alias the command,
you essentially have a one-click nightly build upgrade.
#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp
latest_url=`python -c "
import urllib2
req = urllib2.Request('http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/
chromium-rel-mac/LATEST')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
print 'http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-mac/
%s/chrome-mac.zip' % response.read()
"`
curl $latest_url > chrome-mac.zip
if [ -e chrome-mac.zip ]; then
echo "Downloaded: $latest_url"
unzip chrome-mac.zip
test -e /Applications/Chromium.app && rm -rf /Applications/
Chromium.app
mv chrome-mac/Chromium.app/ /Applications/
rm -rf chrome-mac
rm chrome-mac.zip
open /Applications/Chromium.app/
else
echo "Nothing downloaded."
fi
Hope that helps with your update twitch. =)
