this will apply to a finite subset of subscribers
* you must have bash
* you must have python
* your python must have BeautifulSoup
* you must want a slick way to get the latest netrw
and i know there are already scripts to update wide swaths
of plugins, but i had such fun writing this, and it *just
worked* -- i just had to share
in your ~/bin path, place:
<cfnn>
#!/bin/bash
# check for new netrw
date '+%d %b %Y %H:%M %a'
mv="v`grep '^" Version' ~/.vim/autoload/netrw.vim | awk '{ print $3 }'`"
echo "my netrw version is $mv"
cv=`~/py/cfnn`
echo "charles version is $cv"
if [ $mv == $cv ]; then
echo 'no netrw upgrade available'
else
echo 'a netrw upgrade is coming your way'
mv -v ~/.vim/netrw.vba ~/.vim/netrw_save_path/netrw.vba_save_$mv
wget http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/vbafiles/netrw.vba.gz
gunzip netrw.vba.gz
mv -v netrw.vba ~/.vim
gvim ~/.vim/netrw.vba
fi
dsh 27
</cfnn>
a diversion, but to use this you'll also want 'dsh' on your
~/bin path:
<dsh>
#!/usr/bin/python
from sys import argv
if len(argv) < 2:
ds = 60
else:
ds = int(argv[1])
s = "-" * ds
print "%s" % s
</dsh>
and the real magic happens on my ~/py path:
<cfnn>
#!/usr/bin/python
import httplib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
collections_soup = BeautifulSoup()
url = "http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html";
page = httplib2.Http(cache="/home/scott/.netrwcache").request(url,"GET")
collections_soup.feed(page[1])
for collection in collections_soup('a'):
if collection['href'] == '#NETRW':
print collection.findNext('td').contents[0]
break
</cfnn>
and that's all there is to it
~/py/cfnn returned 'v135', which is different from 'v135r',
so the calling ~/bin/cfnn saved the old netrw, grabbed the
new one, dropped it in place, and dropped me in the middle
of it ready to :so %
