A pre-script downloads and excecute this tails dowloadscript every time
the user wants to upgrade:

rm tails.iso
/usr/local/sbin/download.sh
https://tails.osuosl.org/stable/tails-amd64-4.0/tails-amd64-4.0.iso
rm *sig
rm tails-signing.key
wget https://tails.boum.org/torrents/files/tails-amd64-4.0.iso.sig
wget https://tails.boum.org/tails-signing.key
gpg --import tails-signing.key
TZ=UTC gpg --no-options --keyid-format long --verify
/iso/tails-amd64-4.0.iso.sig /iso/tails-amd64-4.0.iso
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
    yad  --width=380  --title "**Iso verified**" --text "Tails Iso is
verified, use ubu-live to start tails session"  --button="OK" --timeout=5
mv /iso/tails-amd64-4.0.iso /iso/tails.iso
else
    yad  --width=220  --title "**Iso not verified**" --text "Iso is not
verified"  --button="OK"
fi


Every time a new version comes out, i have to edit this script to the
correct versions.
