+title: auto-update fossil using cron(8)
+tags: openbsd tutorial fossil
+date: 2020-12-09T01:37+03:00
+---
+
+i'm running an instance of fossil on my openbsd server (it's the same that is
+powering this website) and for some reason i want it to be up-to-date. more
+presicely, bleeding edge.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+for that i added this part to my `daily.local` script (for those of you who
+don't know, it's script that running every day by cron(8)):
+
+```
+cd /root/fossil && \
+    /usr/local/bin/fossil up | \
+    awk '/changes:/ {
+        if ($2 == "None."){
+            print "No changes, exiting...";
+            exit 1
+        }else{
+            out="";
+            for(i=2; i<=NF; i++){
+                out=out" "$i
+            };
+        }
+        print out;
+        exit 0
+    }' && \
+    /usr/local/bin/fossil revert src/repolist.c >/dev/null && \
+    patch src/repolist.c /var/www/htdocs/fsl.aaoth.xyz/repolist.c.patch \
+        >/dev/null && \
+    ./configure --static >/dev/null && \
+    make >/dev/null && \
+    cp fossil /var/www/bin && \
+    make distclean >/dev/null && \
+    /usr/local/bin/fossil stat
+```
+
+it is very straightforward and simple. firstly, it's changing directory into
+place, where i have fossil checkout (made with `fossil clone` and
+`fossil open`). then it runs `fossil up` and piping it to a small awk script
+that is checking, is there any changes pulled down.
+
+after that there's one interesting part. `fossil revert src/repolist.c` is there
+because i modified it a little bit to make my [repolist][1] page look better.
+after my edits, i exported a patch by executing:
+
+```
+fossil diff > repolist.c.patch
+```
+
+maybe it would be better if i committed those changes, but i don't want to hold
+a full fossil repo among my other fossils, because its history is fairly long.
+and also i'm not very good at c programming, so i'll keep it as is for now.
+if you're interested this patch is free to use and you can [check it out][2].
+
+after that, there's just a normal configure and make procedure and also final
+cleanup.
+
+i also have a mail server running there, so i get an email of what changes were
+applied and that everything went fine.
