Thinking about automatic updater

Dec. 21, 2006

Phew, I released the updater. I hope all the users like the new launcher. I think I've been flying at the top speed these days, now it's time to cruise. By the way, I've been wondering if there's any easier way to update the launcher. Since it's written in ruby, users can update the launcher by checking out the svn repository and type 'update.sh'. No compilation is required.

This means that I can add an auto-updater to the launcher so users can update it whenever they want. Only the problem is that Mac doesn't have svn client by default. I can use CVS instead of SVN (or use both of them) but I don't like to do it. Moreover, sometimes automatic update may cause unexpected crashes since the latest source can contain new bugs. Well, I'm going to find a nice way to do this.
