What's the point of updating Jenkins UpdateCenter on fresh installation???

[TInaTinaTian L]

Hello,

I came across this script that updates jenkins UpdateCenter from command line: https://gist.github.com/jedi4ever/898114 

# Get the update center ourself

$ wget -O default.json http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json

# Now push it to the update URL

curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -d @default.json http://localhost:9020/updateCenter/byId/default/postBack --verbose

 They told me to use this script but I don't understand what it does. Why is there a need for updating the UpdateCenter for OFB installation???

Can someone explain this to me plz, it will save me major headaches if it turns out I don't really need this.

Thanks,

Tin

Because that file always changes. It's like 'apt-get update'. You want to run it to see an up-to-date list of plugins.

Cheers
