To use P3lim’s AddOn Packager Proxy: please see this thread. Auto-pull from Curse: You will need to: If you don't already have the addon in question on WoWInterface - upload an old version of your addon to here, not the most recent version. Put in your description, screenshots, etc. If you already have the addon hosted here, skip to the next step. Once you've uploaded it, give me a link to it here and on Curse, please. Then I tick a couple boxes and it should grab the most recent from Curse, and from then on will auto-magically pull from Curse any time you update your addon there. In addition you will need to provide written confirmation that we are pulling from Curse at your behest, via posting in this thread.

So - you guys killed the old, awesome, addon updaters from the past from pulling from your site, and now you're ok with pulling from Curse?

Funny how things work.

No, there is a huge difference here.

They used our site to serve the addons. We do a single pull from Curse which is uploaded to our site. We don't use their site to serve the addons.

And we do it with the full permission from the author.

In the past, when updating the curse svn or github etc., you grapped the newest version from there and uploaded it here.
So technically, it's the same, just automated.

On the topic:
Good idea to start with.

Is there a method to query which wowi-svn is connected to a project?
So that I could query the addon-list, query the addons for related svn, check out from svn , build zip and finally upload to wowi (and curse)?
