alternative to upgrade_tce.sh

[SvOlli]

Hello,

I've hacked up an alternative to the upgrade_tce.sh script that takes a slightly different approach.

Instead of booting in a "failsafe" mode, I just upgrade the files in the tce directory, so the updated packages will be loaded only after a reboot.

I hope, it's useful for someone here. It's also attached for easier downloading.

Greetings,

Code: (update-tce.sh) [Select]

#!/bin/sh

tcedir="$(cat /opt/.tce_dir)"
export $(sed 's/: /=/' </opt/.tcrc)
baseurl="${Protocol}://${Mirror}"

. /etc/init.d/tc-functions

check()
{
  p=${4%.md5.txt}
  wget -q -c ${2}/${3}/${4} 2>/dev/null
  if [ ! -f ${4} ]; then
    echo ${1}/${p} ${RED}not found${NORMAL}
    return

  if cmp -s ${1}/${4} ${4}; then
    echo ${1}/${p} ${GREEN}current${NORMAL}

    rm ${1}/${p} ${1}/${4}
    mv ${p} ${4} ${1}
    echo ${1}/${p} ${YELLOW}updated${NORMAL}

}

tceget()

  case ${i} in
    *.tce*) check ${1} ${baseurl} tce ${i} ;;

This should only be used for TCE type packages. Even though overwriting a mounted file should be safe, it's really bad practise to do.

It is intended for updating .tce and .tcz. By removing the .tcz (or .tce) first it is made sure, that the new .tcz is a different file. Once the old one's been unmounted, the memory is freed as well. So the main topic here is that the storage consumption using .tcz's is old.tcz + new.tcz instead of just new.tcz. I think it's a better way to go instead of trying to unmount an .tcz that might have open filedescriptors itself. Also a reboot is assumed afterwards, which should do the cleanup anyway.
