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.
gollark: Probably gitget.
gollark: I should look at how Opus does its updates, since Opus is generally considered good.
gollark: I see. Your standards for "not too hard" are probably different to mine.
gollark: I mean, git is complicated and has many legacy things behind it, a simple CC updater thing with limited diff-ing capability is still pretty generalizable.
