Hi All, I'm keen to implementing an auto-update feature in Merkaartor, which would allow quick deployments of point releases without all the hassle of full releases.
While doing this in Windows (where all files related to an application reside in the same directory) seems pretty obvious, I have no clue on how this is done in Linux/OSX, where the sys folders are supposed to be read-only for a plain user and where package management more or less imposes a "static" file system. Bottom line: How does firefox auto-updates itself on these platforms? This is about the actual files, e.g. is /usr/bin/firefox replaced in the process or is it just a stub to the actual executable located somewhere else? Thanks for your feedback - Chris -
