gollark: I think all the updater thing would need to do is:on the non-CC side, just track what files changed since the last release, generate a checksum, and either generate an archive or a bunch of URLs for it.on the CC side, periodically check a manifest file, store its own version locally, check if a newer version is available on the server, and if so download the files which have changed.
