DynDNSupdate 0.1.28 in Ruby

DynDNSupdate 0.1.28 on Linux I’ve rewritten DynDNSupdate entirely in Ruby and reset the version-numbering. The old version will still be available, but won’t be developed any further. The new version of DynDNSupdate can run on a huge variety of platforms, such as Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X etc., whereas the old version was limited to run in Bash environments.

Improvements:

  • Runs on most OS’es now – thanks to Ruby
  • Respects a selected number of HTTP redirects (default: 10)
  • Doesn’t require lynx anymore
  • Easy install through RPA
  • Binary (.exe) for Windows

Packages:

  • RPA package: dyndnsupdate_0.1.28-1.rps (No longer existing.)
  • Windows Binary: dyndnsupdate-0.1.28-1_win32_exe.tar.gz (Taken offline because of breakage.)
  • Source: dyndnsupdate-0.1.28.tar.gz

What is RPA?

RPA stands for Ruby Production Archive and is a brilliant package-manager written by Batsman for handling Ruby applications and libraries at production level. If you’re using Ruby and yet don’t know RPA, do yourself a favour and check it out at: http://rpa-base.rubyforge.org.
