Hi, Ali Akcaagac wrote: A lot of the readers here als prefer lftp as good choice for ftp'ing. Well, since I do use ncftp anyway on several platforms I've got ncftpget for free and so the posted approach is perfectly fine for me. I don't speak for others, of course, just trying to show and share a neat solution. Your two lines of getting the patches is indeed nice. It is only one line ;). Similar like your wget approach in getvim.sh: ncftpget ftp.vim.org . '/pub/editors/vim/patches/7.1/7.1.*' So my fully-automatic build - this has been my goal - looks now like this (snippet from the Makefile): all: tar xfj vim-7.1.tar.bz2 tar xfz vim-7.1-lang.tar.gz tar xfz vim-7.1-extra.tar.gz (cd vim-7.1.patches ; ncftpget ftp.vim.org . '/pub/editors/vim/patches/7.1/7.1.*') cat vim-7.1.patches/7.1.* patchfile (cd vim71 ; patch -p0 ../patchfile) (cd vim71 ; ./configure --prefix=$(PREFIX) --with-x --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-multibyte --enable-xim --enable-fontset --enable-perlinterp --enable-cscope make) Can also be done with wget only. Please allow me to remind the people here on the getvim script that I once wrote. It collect all patches and made one huge patchfile out of it. Quite trivial to use. Using one huge patchfile is also my approach as you can see above and on Unix/Linux systems this can be done with a simple cat 7.1.* patchfile 'cause the right sorting order is already built-in. If somebody has got another experience with, e.g. different locale settings, I would appreciate to know. As Tony has pointed out already, this doesn't work on Dos / Windows as the sorting order seems to be different there, unfortunately. http://www.akcaagac.com/tools/files/shell/getvim.sh I had a look: interesting and new to me is your approach with seq. I'll remember this when I need a sequence of formatted, ascending numbers in a shell script. But for creating the vim patchfile with all patches included it is overdone, IMO. In this case you even need to edit the script with every new patch (see: $SUBLEVELEND). Plus you still need to apply the patch and build manually. Kind regards, Stephan.

Hi, A.J.Mechelynck wrote: - Using cat is OK as long as you can be sure that you'll get them in numeric order: this is usually the case on Unix but not necessarily on Dos, where a wildcarded filename usually gets its results in directory order, not sorted by filename. Well, you are right: I'm on Linux and wasn't aware of the different DOS sorting order. So, the following below applies to Linux/Unix only ... - By patching individually, if one of the patches fails horribly you may decide not to try the following. - Usually there aren't more than a handful of _new_ patches anyway, so (except when starting from scratch with many patches already published) it's hardly worth the trouble going to a cat step. What you have described even on your Web page, IMHO still too much manual work. After downloading new patches with ncftp I just type make all with the following Makefile: - PREFIX=/usr/local help: @echo Available targets: @echoall @echoinstall @echoclean all: clean tar xfj vim-7.1.tar.bz2 tar xfz vim-7.1-lang.tar.gz tar xfz vim-7.1-extra.tar.gz cat vim-7.1.patches/7.1.* patchfile (cd vim71 ; patch -p0 ../patchfile) (cd vim71 ; ./configure --prefix=$(PREFIX) --with-x --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-multibyte --enable-xim --enable-fontset --enable-perlinterp --enable-cscope make) install: (cd vim71; umask 022; installwatch -o /home/steve/install.log/vim-7.1.log make install) chmod 644 /home/steve/install.log/vim-7.1.log clean: rm -rf patchfile rm -rf vim71 .PHONY: help all install clean -- ... and everything is done in less than 150 sec. Works for me for a long time and starting from scratch keeps me out of trouble with old objects, etc. Should not happen with make ... yes, this is what optimists always say, but there is still Murphy ;). BTW, make should stop when patch or any other action fails. Interesting would be an extension to download the patches automagically. Comments ideas ? Regards, Stephan.

And I just figured out that it comes with an utility called ncftpget: So ncftpget ftp.vim.org . '/pub/editors/vim/patches/7.1/7.1.*' fetches all patches to the local directory in one go. And it does it in a smart way, see the second try: ncftpget ftp.vim.org . '/pub/editors/vim/patches/7.1/7.1.*' ncftpget /pub/editors/vim/patches/7.1/7.1.*: local file appears to be the same as the remote file, download is not necessary. Perfect for running from a build script. That is what I have been looking for. One more big plus: besides for almost all sorts of Un*x, ncftp is available for Windows as well. Rgds, Stephan.
