updates multilang download parser thingy
Hi, Here something to make life a bit easier when downloading the packages for other languages. Invoked as follows perl msparse.pl link-to-microsoftdownload where to put it The link-to-microsoftdownload has to be http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=somthingdisplaylang=en e.g. for the MS04-25 update [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/un$ perl msparse.pl http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=06F49985-F19F-4B50-A75F-7636D8BEE576displaylang=en; updates/ie6sp1 Gives this output.. with the dos ^M included ;) :: URL|ARA|http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/2/282d8ce0-dd2c-4c22-b013-8ca07075dd61/IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ARA.exe|updates/ie6sp1/IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ARA.exe :: URL|CSY|http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/a/06a9fb86-d076-4e62-94f8-2bbbe19bf943/IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-CSY.exe|updates/ie6sp1/IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-CSY.exe :: URL|DAN|http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/c/6/8c687181-35ba-4a6f-8a23-fa9fe7b8c186/IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-DAN.exe|updates/ie6sp1/IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-DAN.exe ... etc.. --Wim --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

If your machine has a modern BIOS, there should be files named host_bus and interface which uniquely identify the drive. If not, There are such files for the normal IDE drive, but not for the SATA disks. we fall back to using the disk size (sectors). If you have identical disks on the two SATA channels, then the size is not a sufficient The two disks are 100% identical, I do not see no difference in both folders, except some mbr_signature in int13_dev80. Also the contents of all the data is the same. Even the BIOS does not make it easy to distinguish between both channels - you see what you've selected by what is booted ;-) It amounts to this. If there is enough information under /sys/firmware/int13_dev80 to distinguish the device, then we should be doing so. If, on the other hand, int13_dev80 does NOT correspond to your boot device, that would be interesting as well... I'm trying to find someone, who has another SATA drive laying around or some IDE-to-SATA adaptor, so the information is not identical.

Very cool! In fact, it is so cool that I think we should rewrite prepare in Perl and incorporate your logic. Then most of the URL download comments could be generic. Something like this: :: URL|generic|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=somthingdisplaylang=en|updates/ie6sp1 Then we could eliminate most of the comments with direct download locations. Of course, this presupposes we have someone willing to maintain the screen-scraping logic should Microsoft change the format of their pages. What do you think? Sounds good, the only problem is that you don't know if Microsoft changes the FamilyId thing or not. But ofcourse we have the same problem now with the direct download URLs. Not for this release, though :-). Hehe /me starts coding ;) --Wim --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

This also assumes that microsoft wont change their naming convention or make some of the download use en instead of enu. But, we can work around those as they come up. -Shad --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG. Have you noticed the changes on Linux.com, ITManagersJournal and NewsForge in the past few weeks?
