Revamp update system

[sullo]

Design a new update system to make life easier and updates work better.

• Use IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 or similar to ease downloading dbs
• Wrap Bunzip2 load in an eval{}
• Use traditional or new bz2 updater, depending on availability
• Use a date based "version" for files
• Check hashes (stored elsewhere) of downloadable files
• Consider update of nikto.pl
• Consider adding/removing of plugins/* files
• Pull directly from source repo

Hi Sullo,
I want to keep my nitko db as up to date as possible. Which source is best for this?
Thanks,
D

I personally do a git sync to the repo before I use Nikto. The ticket is to work out what the best way to do this is.

Closing. git is working better than anything we can write.
