# Bonjour Browser Patcher

Update Bonjour Browser (http://www.tildesoft.com) with new services

## Usage

### Automated Patcher

You can download an automatic patching program from [the releases page](https://github.com/ticky/bonjour-browser-patcher/releases). This expects to be run against a clean version of Bonjour Browser, so either run any earlier patch versions again to revert their changes, or download it fresh.

You can then download the zip file, right-click the application and choose "Open", and the patcher will locate Bonjour Browser and apply the patch!

### Manual

If you're suspicious of the automatic patcher or generally feel okay with using the command line, you can do the following:

1. Open a terminal to the directory in which Bonjour Browser is installed

2. Run `curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ticky/bonjour-browser-patcher/develop/bonjour-browser.patch -sSf | patch -p1 -i /path/to/bonjour-browser.patch`

## Changes

This adds a bunch of services which have popped up on Apple and other devices since the last update to Bonjour Browser (2006!).

Eventually, I hope to convert this from being a raw patch file to being a list of services people can update and edit, but for now patches must be applied to... the patch file.

## Producing the patch

The patch is built by mounting the disk image of the unpatched Bonjour Browser version, whilst having the modified version in `~/Applications`.

The command to create the patch is then as follows:

```bash

(

  set -euo pipefail

  cd ~/Applications

  diff \

    --unified \

    --recursive \

    --ignore-blank-lines \

    "/Volumes/Bonjour Browser/Bonjour Browser.app/Contents/Resources" \

    "./Bonjour Browser.app/Contents/Resources"

) > bonjour-browser.patch

```

## Building the patcher

The patcher is written in AppleScript, and relies upon the `patch` utility being available on the user's computer. You can build a copy of it by checking out the repository and running `build.sh`. The application will be created in an Applications folder under the repository.
