I wrote a script to pull the latest slint version and check the slint iso
for integrity. I've verified the script works too.
For this script to work it needs a bsd tag file with slint's valid sha1sum
value in it so integrity checking is possible and that needs to be on the
hard drive first.
I'm sharing this script for two reasons.
First, I solved some problems I didn't think were going to be possible to
solve.
Second, changing the slint iso download item in the script and the name of
the sha1sum file so it matches another on a hard drive the script can be
used to download other files from sourceforge.net and check their
integrity too.
If a bad download happens, the script deletes the bad iso and continues to
try to download a good iso and you get information when the download
starts and when it ends. There is also a fail count which is always
printed out if any download fails integrity check, you find out how many
times that happened.
