Ruario's latest-firefox error

ruario · 11-23-2015, 03:41 PM

It certainly returns something (on stderr), since you pasted it

Do you have some special version of sed installed?

What about this?

Code:

wget --spider --max-redirect 0 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux&lang=en-US' 2>&1 | grep Location

Only if LANG is set to en_<something>.

Code:

~$ LANG=en_US wget --spider --max-redirect 0 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux&lang=en-US' 2>&1 | grep Location
Location: http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/42.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-42.0.tar.bz2 [following]
~$

But for instance:

Code:

~$ LANG=nb_NO wget --spider --max-redirect 0 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux&lang=en-US' 2>&1 | grep Sted
Sted: http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/42.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-42.0.tar.bz2 [omdirigert]
~$

Ah ha... Thanks Didier. I did not expect wget to localise this.

ruario · 11-23-2015, 04:12 PM

@aszabo: Try the new version (1.3.6)

ruario · 11-23-2015, 04:28 PM

Hmm... maybe this is neater (updated to 1.3.7).

The following should work with any locale:

Code:

wget --spider -S --max-redirect 0 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US' 2>&1 | sed -n '/Location: /{s|.*/firefox-\(.*\)\.tar.*|\1|p;q;}'

@aszabo: did the latest version work for you?

If it does not, please give me the entire output from "bash -x latest-firefox" and stick it inside [code][/code] tags so that it is fully readable.

aszabo · 11-24-2015, 01:22 AM

Thanks Ruario, now it works. The problem was probably that my LANG is hu_HU.utf8.
Once more thanks for your job.

ruario · 11-24-2015, 01:26 AM

Great stuff, aszabo. Glad to hear that!

And thanks again to Didier Spaier, who has a great eye for details, in particular with regards to language and locale.

I am now receiving the following error:

Code:

wget: unrecognized option '--trust-server-names'
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ruario's-latest-firefox-error-4175557768/...

Slackware 13.37 32 bit

Code:

grep 'latest-firefox Version' latest-firefox
# latest-firefox Version 1.3.7

ruario · 12-20-2015, 02:44 PM

Hmm... I can't look into this now but I will when I get a chance. A quick suggestion of the top of my head, remove '--trust-server-names' altogether as wget before this switch was introduced had that behaviour by default, IIRC.

I'll try and do a fix new and old Slackware, when I have a spare moment.

interndan · 12-20-2015, 05:03 PM

That worked. Thanks Ruario

ruario · 12-21-2015, 03:37 AM

Ok, I fixed it! I didn't really want to fix it that way since the script could break again if Mozilla switches to another compression format (e.g. xz) for its binary repacks but it is either this or try and or check the wget version and adjust accordingly.

Where may I find a link to this miraculous script? It was not easily identifiable on your gist page(s).
