I was browsing the Ace Updater link on the main page, and noticed, right at the top, is a link for "WowAceUpdater Mac OS X Leopard Only"
Downloaded it, tried it.. SUPER fast.. It appears to be missing a "No Externals" option, but I found that, if you change the "WOW Ace XML Location" from "" target="" data-ensure-absolute>http://files.wowace.com/latest.xml" to "" target="" data-ensure-absolute>http://www.wowace.com/files/latest-noext.xml", that it will update correctly, using Externals. It also appears to support auto-dependancy downloading, as it wants to download some missing libs (which, while referenced, arent used, since I use the Rock-equivalents of them, Tourist-2.0 for example, instead of LibTourist-3.0)
But yea.. It appears this is good.. Havent used it much yet.. but will be..
Hmm, no, it doesnt do Auto-dependancies.. I had "ghost" libs installed to prevent another updater from installing those dependancies, and just appears that this one ignored the .svn folders and wanted to update them anyway..
It -does- have an "exclude' feature, so even though it ignores .svn you can still make it ignore certain addons..
I sent the author an email about the .svn thing.. maybe we can get him to join this discussion here.. :)
Yea, it appears this is a very "quick -n- dirty" updater, with a few small modifications, this thing could be awesome.. Unfortunately, I have yet to get a response to the email I sent to the author. So dunno if he's workin on it, or what..
