Typo3 - Downloader

Put both files in the same directory. Execute the downloader - script

/bin/bash typo3_download_latest.sh

The script will check, if the downloaded file exists already, if not download it.

So you could easily run this a daily cron.

typo3_download_latest.sh

#!/bin/bash

PHP=$(which php)
DEST_DIR=/usr/src
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
if [ "$1" != "" ]
then
   DEST_DIR=$1
fi

WGET=$(which wget)
if [ "$WGET" == "" ]
then
   echo "Sorry. Wget is not installed. Giving up"
fi

if [ ! -f $DEST_DIR/typo3_src-${TYPO3_VERSION}.tar.gz ]
then
  $WGET get.typo3.org/$TYPO3_VERSION -O $DEST_DIR/typo3_src-${TYPO3_VERSION}.tar.gz
  DONE=$?
