I'm an admin on a linux server running Bukkit. I set up a script I can run that just downloads the latest version and renames it to craftbukkit.jar from the link in FAQ #1. The problem with that is that it has a version name in it. So when craftbukkit updates to 0.0.2, I have to change that in my script. Surely there must be a better way? Maybe even a way to automatically check if there's even an update to download at all?
Not really what I was hoping for. Was more hoping for a link that didn't rely on bukkit being a specific version.
Bukkit is in early development stage, until it is released officially, the link from FAQ will not change. And after it becomes official I think there will be a proper way to check for updates then on the homepage and not a forum.
If you're still interested, try here: http://bamboo.lukegb.com/ and you'll find the jar under artifacts after you select the version.
