Org update script

Org update script

Has anyone created a script for updating org? It's only a few commands but
since we're fortunate enough to get updates so frequently (thanks Carsten!)
it would be nice to only have to type one.

I don't know how to write quality scripts but I've jotted down what I think
would need to be done to make it a tiny bit easier in case no one's done it
and someone is willing to give it a shot.

wget http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/
awk to find out version number
wget http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/org-x.zip
tar -xvzf org-x.tar.gz
rm -rf ~/org-tar.gz
rm ~/.elisp/org
mv org-x ~/.elisp/org
cd ~/.elisp/org
make

I guess improvements could be made to keep the old version of org or revert
back if make fails.

Anyone have a script that does this or willing to take a crack at it?

Thanks,
Scott

This will do the job.  It doesn't compile the lisp file, but I
frequently don't bother to do this anyway.  :-)

This also means that it keeps all old versions, and you can restore an
old version by changing the symbolic link if you wish.

Save the  file as below the  dashes as 'update-org.sh'  or similar, edit
the variables to make sense for your setup, make it executable:

	chmod +x ~/bin/update-org.sh

and then run it. Let me know how it goes.

You can cd to $ORGDIR and run make if you wish.

Don't forget to edit the Makefile.

I changed it to work without symlinks because I sync the files to Windows,
and I added make, and it works great. Thanks!

I'm guessing that should be rm -f $ORGDIR then?

Again, thank you!

<blush>

Ahh well. It is my wife's birthday, and I should have been doing other
things rather than knocking up a quick shell script!

Why make?

Isn't org mode small enough to run with *.el files instead of *.elc files?

I've never compiled org mode. I just do 

make install-info 

after adopting the path in the Makefile.

org.el is the single biggest Emacs Lisp file in the
Emacs distribution.  Admittetly there are larger packages
like gnus that have een split over many files, but still
org-mode is PRETTY BIG.  I am glad that it still feels
lightweight to you, this is one of the goals of its
development.

I would always recommend doing the compilation step.  It speeds
up loading of the file, and the general performance is much
better.  Still most operations are fast enough so that you
will not feel the difference.   However, producing a large agenda,
or in particular recomputing a large spreadsheet will be a
lot faster with compiled org.elc.

The one case when you should not use a compiled file is when
sending be the traceback of an error - that is much more useful
when made with uncompiled code.

This will do the job. Just make sure you edit EMACSBIN to point to the
path of your emacs binary.

OK, thanks for the explanation, Carsten.
