Support_Updater

That unix-like package manager idea you had a while ago still sounds like a nifty idea.
If you're still considering it, pacman seems like a decent one to base it off of

should come with a terminal emulator poorly named 'bl-erminal' or 'blerm'

What alternative can I use instead of OneDrive?

What alternative can I use instead of OneDrive?

pastebin or dropbox

[Greek2me]

pastebin or dropbox

No Dropbox, unless you know a way to make an HTTP link to there?

The best option is to host your own site.

meh, I decided not to use this. it was too complicated for me to set up

thx tho

I am using OneDrive, and it isn't working. I create a repository.txt, put this in:

<repository>
        <addon:System_StudGuard>
                <channel:release>
                        <version:0.0.3>
                        <file:http://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=772886191dd34593!114&authkey=!AP-x_YUjuA1b_1U&ithint=file%2czip>
                </channel>
        </addon>
</repository>

and I also included a version.txt in the file:

version 0.0.2
channel release
repository      http://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=772886191dd34593!115&authkey=!AHIj6ar4n2j_lb4&ithint=file%2ctxt

It isn't working for me. Did I do something wrong?

[Lugnut]

that's because the link you have in there doesn't link to a plain text file
it instead links to some hugeass webpage

see if there's a "raw" link somewhere in there

[Hawt]

switched over to pastebin and it still isn't working

[Greek2me]

No website? No problem!
If you don't own a website, you can still use Support_Updater. You'll need a free account on either Bitbucket or Github.

Bitbucket Instructions
Create a public repository called "yourBitbucketUserName.bitbuck et.org" and simply add your repository.txt and *.zip files to it. It can then be accessed at http://yourBitbucketUserName.bitbucket.org.

Github Instructions
Create a public repository called "gh-pages" and simply add your repository.txt and *.zip files to it. It can then be accessed at http://yourGithubUserName.github.io.

Two new methods to host a repository without owning a website!

yesss
question: does it look for a new version in version.txt? like if it was 1 and it was changed to 2 in the repository, it would say it needs an update?

[Greek2me]

Yes. So make sure that you update the number in version.txt when you release a new version.

[Ocelotus]

Yes. So make sure that you update the number in version.txt when you release a new version.

okay cool

Gonna try out GitHub support, it's simply like this right?
gh-pages isn't set up yet, it'll 404 for now
