Hi all, I want to provide my users the ability to download a repository from the web, and after that check for updates. I thought of a mechanism that could do that, but since there is patch and diff readily available I wondered if there is a python solution that allows me to download a file, and let the patch be applied locally. In the patch there are binaries and sources I am not sure if patch can handle them both though.
So here are the situations; Downloading 1. User enters URL and local path where to store 2. Updated downloads the file 3. Either creates a new repository or patches an existing one Check for updates 1. A web check is done if there is a newer version 2. File is downloaded, patch is applied Plain zip file extraction is possible, but I will miss out on files that might be deleted in future versions, but not yet on the client side. Also local changes might need to be preserved although it is not a show stopper if it doesn't. I want to have a solution that is very easy for the user, so point and click kind of work. Is there a tool / library around that can provide me a base for this problem? Thanks in advance! - Jorgen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
