I want to write a script to find the latest version of rpm of a given package available from a mirror for eg: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/ Is there any existing script that does this? Or can someone give me a general idea on how to go about this?
Example:
URL='http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/' PKG=... links -dump $URL | grep "$URL$PKG-[0-9]" | cut -f2 -d' '
Replace with 'cut -d'/' -f9' if you don't want the full URL...
