Addon Packager Proxy

This is the official topic for the Addon Packager Proxy release tool.

Addon Packager Proxy

This is a tool designed to help authors of "addons" for the popular MMORPG "World of Warcraft"
release their projects to both Curse/CurseForge and WowInterface, the two most popular
sites for hosting releases for such projects.

The tool (currently) has some very specific usage requirements:
  • The user needs to use Git.
  • The user needs to push to both GitHub and CurseForge repositories.
  • The user needs to use Markdown for changelogs.
    • Although changelogs are optional.
For a more in-depth explanation and usage guide, see the readme on GitHub:
https://github.com/p3lim/addon-packager-proxy


This topic will be used for feedback and suggestions, all bug reports should be submitted to the issue
tracker on Github: https://github.com/p3lim/addon-packager-proxy/issues.

Enjoy.

Notice:
This application is no longer in active development, I strongly advice using an alternative solution (such as BigWigs' packager, which I've written a guide for)

This looks awesome. I already use Git with GitHub/CurseForge and tag each release, so this should fit in well with my existing process.

I've simplified the process quite a bit in v0.2.0, you no longer need to fork the repository, and you no longer have to do changes to core files for the application.

You now "deploy" the application directly to Heroku, setting the needed variables in a setup page.
The addon information will now be stored in a gist you create, the app will fetch that on every run.

I plan on adding a complete setup wizard to the app, removing the last few manual steps during the setup and letting the app do all the work.

I was getting 404 errors from the AddOn repository's webhook until I changed the URL from https://<APP_NAME>.herokuapp.com/webhook to https://<APP_NAME>.herokuapp.com/. Once I changed the URL and redelivered the create event, it found the packaged AddOn and uploaded it to WoWI without issue.

This is much better than manually uploading to WoWI and dealing with the BBCode changelog.

Yeah that was one of the changes I did earlier today/yesterday. I updated the wiki to reflect that, but since this is still alpha quality, make sure you check the commit log before updating.

Spent some time improving the markdown to bbcode conversion, pretty much untested right now.
