check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages

check-outdated.sh is a bash script that helps me checking if my favourite translated pages of the fsfe.org web site are outdated.

Quick Start

$ git clone https://github.com/taringamberini/check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages.git
$ cd check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages
$ ./check-outdated.sh < fsfe-org-urls.txt

Download

Download check-outdated.sh from my github repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/taringamberini/check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages.git

If you haven't git installed simply download check-outdated.sh and save it where you prefer, for example in a directory named check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages.

Configuration

In the check-outdated.sh file set the value of the constant OUTDATED_WARNING_TEXT_FRAGMENT with the fragment of the text shown in the outdated warning red box of an outdated page translated in your language. Because such fragment is searched against the html source code choose it directly from the source code of an outdated page. For example it might be:

• Italiano

  OUTDATED_WARNING_TEXT_FRAGMENT="La traduzione di questa pagina potrebbe non essere aggiornata"
  

• Deutsch

  OUTDATED_WARNING_TEXT_FRAGMENT="Diese Seite ist eine Übersetzung"
  

• Русский

  OUTDATED_WARNING_TEXT_FRAGMENT="Перевод этой страницы мог устареть"
  

• Slovenščina

  OUTDATED_WARNING_TEXT_FRAGMENT="This page may be out of date"
  

Usage

Add to the text file fsfe-org-urls.txt the URL of fsfe.org pages you want to check. If such file doesn't exists yet create it in the check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages directory.

Then at command line change to the such directory:

$ cd check-outdated-fsfe-org-pages

and run:

$ ./check-outdated.sh < fsfe-org-urls.txt

Details

check-outdated.sh reads fsf.org page's URL from a txt file. Such file:

• MUST contain a single URL for each line
• MAY contain empty lines
• MAY contain lines which start with the sharp (#) character

Example of a fsfe-org-urls.txt content:

# Top menu pages
https://fsfe.org/about/about.it.html 
https://fsfe.org/about/work.it.html 
https://fsfe.org/campaigns/campaigns.it.html 
https://fsfe.org/contribute/contribute.it.html
https://fsfe.org/press/press.it.html

# Other pages of your interest
https://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.it.html
https://fsfe.org/activities/radiodirective/statement.it.html
https://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.it.html
https://fsfe.org/contribute/getyourgraphic.it.html
https://fsfe.org/contribute/spreadtheword.it.html
https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/basics/sourcecode.it.html

For each URL check-outdated.sh loads the page (you need to be connected to the Internet) and looks for the text configured in the constant OUTDATED_WARNING_TEXT_FRAGMENT: if such text is found the line which contains it is printed. For example:

$ ./check-outdated.sh < fsfe-org-urls.txt 
# Top menu pages
Checking https://fsfe.org/about/about.it.html
Checking https://fsfe.org/work.it.html
Checking https://fsfe.org/campaigns/campaigns.it.html

In about 10 seconds I've checked 11 pages and I've discovered that campaigns.it.html, contribute.it.html, press.it.html are outdated, and that all the other pages are updated.
