Tool to download Humble Indie Bundle binaries by file name Author: Eric Anderson ejona86@gmail.com Contributor: Thomas Riccardi riccardi.thomas@gmail.com Contributor: Devin J. Pohly djpohly@gmail.com Contributor: Yaohan Chen yaohan.chen@gmail.com

Description

Primarily for use as a DLAGENT in makepkg.conf in Arch Linux, but generally useful when needing to download a particular Humble Bundle file via a script.

It also manages a storage directory where already downloaded file can be found.

Installation and Usage

This utility currently requires humblebundle-python to query HumbleBundle's API. It uses curl to download the file, or can simply provide the URL needed to download the file so a different HTTP downloader such a Wget can be used.

To run hib-dlagent without installating it, add parameters '-S.', which tells it to look for helper script(s) in the current directory.

By default hib-dlagent assumes the helper script is installed in /usr/share/hib-dlagent. The provided Makefile will install files into this location. If they are installed elsewhere, it is necessary to either run hib-dlagent with the corresponding -S parameters, or edit the variables SCRIPT_PATH and CONFIG_PATH in hib-dlagent.

To use as a DLAGENT for the 'hib' scheme, you can modify makepkg.conf: DLAGENTS=(... 'hib::/usr/bin/hib-dlagent -u user@example.org -o %o %u' ...)

Run with the -h argument for more information.
