I've made a small and simple shell script to make updating XBMC from SVN a bit less time consuming. I've only tested it on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 Alpha4 but the variations should also work.

Simply unpack the archive to your XBMC for Linux installation directory (/home/username/XBMC for instance) and run the file. Assuming you are in the XBMC directory that would be "./update". If the update doesn't start make sure the file is execuatable.

For Ubuntu 7.04
For Ubuntu 7.10
For Ubuntu 78.04 Alpha 4

I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 Alpha4 myself.
If you run into any trouble, please let me know. I'll try to fix it.

It would be so nice to have the option to edit my posts

Beyond installing the prereqs, what does this offer over build.sh?

I haven't got a clue to be honest. I've been installing and updating XBMC using this guide. Without a shell script...

Ahh. Give build.sh a try, it works great.

Yeah build.sh is a savior.

I've juist used it to reinstall XBMC! It sure is great. Much better than my simple script. I'm new to XBMC for linux, so please forgive me for starting a useless topic
