Automatically download the latest Mac Chromium build
If you want to follow closely the development of Google’s browser for the Macintosh or you just want to be up to date with your Chromium version the url to go is the “LATEST” directory at http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/mac/LATEST/
This directory always offers the freshest automated build from the current day (which sometimes includes more than twenty builds).
If you consider this tedious and you don’t want to manually download, unzip and replace your copy of the browser in /Application there are two handy scripts that can help you automatically doing that.
The first is Chromium Updater, an AppleScript by Dom Barnes, now at version 0.2.
The second is the similarly named Chromium Updater, a faceless app done with Automator, provided by a developer working for TechCrunch.
Thank you man!
That was one of the things I did sign to search and investigate as soon as possible and then you came.
Which one of the two do you prefer ? The Automator based one intrigues me, since automator has always fascinated me but I’ve never had the chance to use it …
I’m using the TechCrunch one althoug I also archive some of the (noteworthy) Chromium versions by changing their filenames, otherwise the next time I run the updater it will overwrite the old application.
nda
ack !
