I've been wanting this for ages - something to cron to run at midnight and get daily AWN updates:

this sounds great! COudl you give a little more instruction on it?

And let me get this straight it updates to the latest bzr automaticly, every night?

pavpanchekha said:
Again, I use this regularly, and its great to set as a cron job.
Anyone think this should be added to the wiki?

Why not? Go ahead and add it.

baldmonkey said:
Also I'm currently installing from the bzr manually, there shouldn't be any problems running this without removing the old awn?

No, there shouldn't. This isn't a seperate version of AWN, it just automates updating/compiling. Just download it, give it execute privilages, put it in a folder by itself and run it every time you want to update AWN. For cron I use Kron (I think that's what its called), but you could easily use any of the other GUI's or just the cli. Just do a google search for cron.

Isn't it possible to get the script to exit if all update functions just return a line containing "Tree is up to date at revision"?
I run the script every time I boot my laptop, and there really is no need to have it build when there're no updates.

I can try.
So can anyone else who know how...

Cool. I would do it myself, but have no idea how :(

few questions:<br />Is there a way to choose between the different trunks (curves, libawn-draw-effect)?<br />If the file updates the awn, does it also update itself?

ketilwaa said:
Would it by any chance be possible to put awn-curves also into this script? I manually downloaded and built the thing here, and it seems to work fine.

Open the file in your favorite text editor (in GNOME doubleclick, click "Display" in the dialog) and at the top there are a lot of variables you can manually change. The one you're looking for is AWNBRANCH="awn-curves". More below, might make sense to customize to your tastes.

==================================================

SUPRESS="true"
Make it "False" to see all the stuff autogen and make spews out

DEFPREFIX="/usr/local"
MYPREFIX=${PREFIX:-$DEFPREFIX}
DEFPREFIX is the prefix to install to.
Don't touch the other line.

GENERICARGS=""
Any arguments to pass to autogen.sh

GETAWNEXTRAS="True"
Whether to download and compile awn-extras

AWNEXTRASITEMS="awn-applets/awn-core-applets"
What you would like to compile in awn-extras. You can set this to
"awn-applets/awn-core-applets awn-applets/helloworld-applet"
if you also want the hello world applet. I think in the future I might make it install plugins too.

GETPYAPPLETS="True"
Do you want to install awn-py-applets

AWNPYITEMS="Media-Control Battery-Level Quit-Applet Mimenu"
The names of the folders of the applets you want. The script just copies the contents of those directories to ~/.config/awn/applets

PATCHAWN="False"
Whether to apply all the patches in the Patches folder (Its created if it doesn't exist) with -p1 in the a-w-n folder. Its more or less an obsolete feature now that we've moved to launchpad but if you want it, its there.

RESTARTAWN="False"
Set to "True" if you want to kill and then restart AWN after you're done compiling

AWNBRANCH="trunk"
Set to awn-curves or desktop-agnostic or libawn-draw-effects if those are the branches you want. Probably the most important setting.

PYBRANCH="trunk"
Same as above, but with awn-py-applets. As soon as awn-extras branches, I'm sure there will be a similar setting for it.

==================================================

So yes, awn-curves IS part of this script.

I'll add the script to the wiki any day now

baldmonkey said:
It already was capitalized... it just doesn't do anything.

Kay, I'll look into it.

baldmonkey said:
Also would it be possible to not have the script build if everything is up to date?

It's already been requested. Its on my list.

ToDo:<br />* awn-sys-utils: download and compile<br />*

Don't need to do... gilir asked me to branch awn-extras and instead which I have done. From the description above... if you have the ability to specify the awn-extras branch used then all will be good already.

k, I'll try that. though that means more associative arrays (grr.)

there should be a wiki entry on this.....

Yep, I'll do that right now.

Hmmm. Actually it might take a while. The server is dreadfully slow...

davim said:
thanks! is this updated on the wiki?

Waiting for wiki to load atm
