15 I meant the chromium-bin-9999.ebuild which did this:
16 LV=`curl --silent
17 http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux${arch_path}/LATEST`
18 elog "Installing/updating to version ${LV}"
19 wget -c
20 "http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux${arch_path}/${LV}/chrome-linux.zip"
21 -O "${T}"/${PN}-${LV}.zip
22 76
23
24 So essentially a live ebuild which downloads changing stuff from a http URI.
