[Tor www-team] Seeking Bash Scripting Experience for a Setup Script

[Remco]

Hi William,

I've created a fork, and updated the script. It isn't completely working
yet, but want to discuss the requirement of updating the js.

https://github.com/dutchcoders/tor-download-web/blob/master/setup.sh

If I understand correctly, you want the tor browser bundle to update
individual compared to the tor download web? I'm having a little issue with
updating the javascript file. Only way I can do this is by asking some
questions when running the script, as what will be the url the downlad web
will be running at. Other solution is to have relative paths in the
download js, so we only have to update to the correct version. I propose to
have some kind of tags (e.g. <!--VERSION--><!--ENDVERSION--> for showing
version numbers in HTML, /*VERSION*//*ENDVERSION*/ for javascript, think
this won't be necessary) for having actual versions updated.

Any suggestions / additions?

Otherwise I'll finish the script this way.

Regards,

Remco
