I wanted to share the script I use for keeping a local copy of all ffp packages. Run it as a cron job and have the most up-to-date mirror. In addition, my script links all of the packages from the 3 main repositories (that I know of) into the "/ffp/pkg/packages" directory so no more hunting around for a particular package or version. No need to "find" either. ;-)

You can add a line to update any currently installed packages (cd packages; funpkg -u *.tgz) at the end. I have left it out, since configuration files or customization may be lost when a package is uninstalled before installing a newer version, which would cause a considerable amount of headache to users. This happened to me *once* before I had established backups of my ffp installation.

Suggestions, comments welcomed.

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

## This script downloads/syncs all of the packages in the three major
## ffp package repositories.
##
## In addition, the script places links from the other repositories
## into the Fonz' Packages directory so one does not have to go
## hunting through directories for a package or lastest package
## version.
##
## Most useful if set as a weekly or monthly cron job
