I really like this script. I've used it for a few months. Recently, Chromium changed the directory layout of their nightlies. I had to update the script to the following:

#!/bin/sh
# Chromium update script
# - by shad <shad@zaphod.eu>
# http://shad.cc/

# mac | linux | ...
OS=Mac
os=$(echo ${OS} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')
LATEST=$(wget -q -O - http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/${OS}/LATEST)
INSTALL_DIR=/Applications
TMP="/tmp/update-chrome-$RANDOM"

(
mkdir $TMP ; cd $TMP
echo Downloading revision ${LATEST}...
wget -q -O chrome.zip http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/${OS}/${LATEST}/chrome-${os}.zip
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
    echo Cannot update.
    exit 1
fi
echo Unzip...
unzip -qq chrome.zip
echo Copying...
rm -rf "${INSTALL_DIR}/Chromium.app"
mv chrome-$OS/Chromium.app "$INSTALL_DIR"
)

rm -rf $TMP

Thanks Ted, same here but I appreciate the heads up. That's twice they've changed where they update the binaries :).
