Everyone agrees that WebKit is the faster browser engine. Plus its my favourite browser/engine in OSX

Problem is that it doesn’t update itself automatically - and every night there’s a beautiful new build that comes out - which I simply must have.

So in order to save you time - here’s a little script that I put together this afternoon that will download the latest build at the push of a button.

Initially I wrote it with wget, but realised not everyone will have it installed - hence here’s a version with curl


#!/bin/bash

# getWebKit.sh - Obtain the latest WebKit build

echo -n "Downloading WebPage ..."
location="http://nightly.webkit.org"
curl http://nightly.webkit.org/index.html -o ${var_dir}index.html > .get_webkit.log 2>&1
nightly=`cat ${var_dir}index.html | grep ".dmg" | cut -d '"' -f 2 | uniq`
echo "Done"

filename=`echo $nightly | cut -d '/' -f 5`

echo -n "Getting WebKit ..."
curl $nightly -o $var_dir$filename >> .get_webkit.log 2>&1
echo "Done"

if [ $? ]; then
 echo -n “Installing WebKit …”
 rm -rf /Applications/WebKit.app
 hdiutil attach -quiet “$var_dir$filename”
 cp -R /Volumes/WebKit/WebKit.app /Applications/
 hdiutil detach -quiet /Volumes/WebKit
 echo “Done”
 exit 0
fi

#cleanup
if (( $? )); then rm ${var_dir}index.html && rm $var_dir$filename ; fi


 Grab it and let me know how you go
