-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.
