Get Nightly WebKit without SVN

Everyone agrees that WebKit is the faster browser engine. Plus its my favourite browser/engine in OSX

Problem is that it doesn’t update itself automatically – and every night there’s a beautiful new build that comes out – which I simply must have.

So in order to save you time – here’s a little script that I put together this afternoon that will download the latest build at the push of a button.

Initially I wrote it with wget, but realised not everyone will have it installed – hence here’s a version with curl

#!/bin/bash


#  getWebKit.sh - Obtain the latest WebKit build

echo -n "Downloading WebPage ..."

location="http://nightly.webkit.org"

curl http://nightly.webkit.org/index.html -o ${var_dir}index.html > .get_webkit.log 2>&1

nightly=`cat ${var_dir}index.html | grep ".dmg" | cut -d '"' -f 2 | uniq`

echo "Done"
filename=`echo $nightly | cut -d '/' -f 5`
echo -n "Getting WebKit ..."

curl $location$nightly -o $var_dir$filename >> .get_webkit.log 2>&1

echo "Done"
if [ $? ]; then

	echo -n "Installing WebKit ..."

	rm -rf /Applications/WebKit.app

	hdiutil attach -quiet "$var_dir$filename"

	cp -R /Volumes/WebKit/WebKit.app /Applications/

	hdiutil detach -quiet /Volumes/WebKit

	echo "Done"

	exit 0

fi
#cleanup

if (( $? )); then rm ${var_dir}index.html && rm $var_dir$filename ; fi

Grab it and let me know how you go
