Re: dictionary file update dates

[Jim Breen <jimbreen@*********>]

Both the JMdict and Kanjidic XML files are generated  daily, so up to a point the latest creation date is irrelevant. The actual content of JMdict almost always changes each day, but Kanjidic usually only has a couple of changes per month. I need to look into it but maybe I can log the date of the most recent content change.

Dear list members,

I'm sure this has been asked 

Is there some sort of automatically updated file with all the latest creation dates for the dictionary files.

You're meant to use rsync to do this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync

Thank you for the hint, I saw that part of the documentation.

However, rsync is not really an option for me at the moment on the platform I'm using.

So I was wondering if there's maybe a different way to check for updates consistently.
