I am the author of sealbar and i cant figure out how to upload and update. Please describe how i go about uploading an update or point me to where I can read how.

I'll suggest you to read this thread:

Just change the URLs accordingly for your project.

this method for updating addons is so much more difficult than the older method.. Its not user friendly.. I think in the future I may just use another site to get my addons out there, I was able to get an update out but it was a difficult process and not one I have time for in the future, however thank you for the instructions.

Like I have said, wowace is a developer community, where we use source control tools such as SVN/Hg/Git to develop addons. If you don't use any of these, then wowace isn't for you, you can upload addons the old way directly at curse.com or wowinterface.com

I'm a new addon developer. I just finished creating a new addon called SpeakinSpell. Spent the last 3 days debugging it and making it work nicely...

I went through the process to create a new project here on WowAce 2 nights ago. Here it is:

http://www.wowace.com/projects/speakinspell/

It is still awaiting approval from an administrator (any minute now for the last 2 days) so you probably can't see it yet. It's a holiday weekend (Thanksgiving in the US) so I figure the admins are too busy to review it yet. But I wasn't sure if I needed to submit some files before I could be approved...?

I see that my SVN repository exists already, and I have tortoiseSVN and use it every day at work so I know what I'm doing there. I did a checkout to get started setting up my local sandbox, which is of course empty to begin with...

I added all my files (SVN->Add) and now I'm trying to commit my initial checkin of all my code. Here's where I run into a problem: SVN won't authorize me to commit. It asks for a username and password. I tried to enter my forum username rismisner and my password, but it won't accept that. It says username is not found. I tried with a blank password instead of my forum password, but that didn't work. I tried with a blank username, and that didn't work either.

In my project admin on WowAce, under Edit Repositories, I have the box checked for "is open = [X] Whether anyone at all can commit to your repository, even if they aren't an author. (Recommended)" so anyone should be able to commit... including me.

Under authors, it lists only me: rismisner

Does my project have to be approved before I can commit to SVN?

You have to go through the steps in the Repository FAQ which includes instructions on setting up an SVN password.

Woot it works! thank you so much!
