Installing Details! for TBC using WoWUp by inputting the URL of this repository yields the following error:

The URL used for installing for the above image was: https://github.com/Tercioo/Details-Damage-Meter

Consult the guide posted by WoWUp which may correct the issue: https://wowup.io/guide/wowup/curseforge-migration

Given the popularity of WoWUp and the lack of Curseforge as an option, it is highly recommended you make this repository compatible with WoWUp in order to allow ease-of-use when installing.

Looks like this issue is closed and to be unresolved by #268 or #434

If you, like me, desire a workaround now, I've created a repository that packages releases automatically every 2 hours that can be used by Instawow, Wowup or other similar utilities.

It is already on wago. Your post is invalid

Assuming Hanlon's Razor applies, here's why their post is not invalid:

1. The addon is available on Curse and Wago
2. Open source addon downloaders cannot use Curse
3. Open source addon downloaders cannot use Wago without subjecting the user to the Wago ToS, which forces ad display and, by extension, behaviour tracking
4. Open source addon downloaders can also use Github directly, provided the repo follows a specific protocol
5. This repo does not follow that protocol, and so cannot be used directly by downloaders bound by 1. and 2.

In the meantime, releases could just be packaged on github.

This is already done properly and works with WoWUP/cursebreaker for terciob's other addon Plater Nameplates, so I'm a bit confused on the disconnect for details

Terciob is looking into other places besides curseforge. Patience is a virtue.

Adding my wish to support even the minor modifications to the github for manual install (via URL in Wowup). Huge fan of this addon and would like to continue using it! Thank you for your hard work, Tercio!

adding my wish as well :) thanks for the great work

I'm not an addon developer myself but it should be enough to add this github action https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager/wiki/GitHub-Actions-workflow . If he/she wants add revenue: wago.io would support that :)

From what I can see, there is stuff already being worked on. Terciob will likely announce what his next step is when it happens.

Looking to use this via WoWUp as well.

WoWUp works quite well. Adding my support for this.

yes thanks for wowup support in future :)

Adding my support for github releases and WoWUp support. Thanks again to Terciob and team for their hard work :)

Pushing - And thanks for your hard work.

Any news on this?
#307
Have you gone through this? If the commit is what it states to be then it would be the solution

+1

Checking in on this, since it would make updates quicker and easier on the developer if users were grabbing from GitHub directly instead of a platform the dev needs to manually update. Not to mention, it works in the dev's other repos?

Have you gone through this? If the commit is what it states to be then it would be the solution

Don't think that +19,558/−12,196 pr is someone will approve.

I'd rather not have to fix all of the bugs he's reverted in that PR. Terciob is still looking into other hosts. They do have a life and more than likely this isn't a massive priority. You're able to download the addon through curseforge. Even if you hate overwolf for their past bs, you don't have to deal with them if you manually install.

To put into perspective how far out of date that PR is. 9780 is the version number. And he's diff'd it with that. So his update is a massive reversion because he pasted his out of date files into a new version repo.

Adding my wish here as well. I refuse to use CurseForge after their API change, and I'm fine with not using any addon that continues to select only them as a distribution platform.

Agreed. Until fixed Im not updating skada and I will use something else. Not even going to the curseforge site.

I've forked this repository into one that can be used in WoWUp. (https://github.com/JustusW/Details-Damage-Meter) There are certain issues with the packaging (I'm using BigWigsMod to package automatically), for example some language strings don't work correclty, but for the most part it works.
It's set up so it will grab this repository daily and publish it again.

Its moot to argue but pointing at another site and its license there is shaky at best considering that this github repo does not link directly to curseforge sure we all know its there. But even so the link you provided explicitly also state the point of a fork which is exactly what JustusW did. I mean Im sure he would take it down if requested (idk but I assume so), but then imho tericoo should have set a license here stating he does not want forks or not have it all public

I completely agree that Tericoo should put a license on here. I'm just pointing out that redistributing the code in zip files is probably not allowed in case JustusW didn't know.

The point of access needs to have a license. Since this repository does not contain a license but is bundled with libraries under GPL it quite obviously falls under the GPL.
Technically the license you mentioned for curseforge is in violation of the GPL as any software being distributed with GPL parts falls under their viral distribution system.

Personally I dislike the GPL, but at the same time it applies here and that is that.

I find the whole situation, including a very distasteful conversation I had on the discord, ridiculous. The monetizable capital of Tercioo is the community and trust he built, not the code he has. As a matter of fact since he built his code on GPL software he does not even technically own the code.
Yet no one will "steal" it. If he wants to have premium services (like early access, etc) he is free to implement that, the repository I set up will be naturally delayed anyway. It only rescans at midnight iirc.

Thank you for the clarification. I did not notice the use of GPL software in this project. Sorry for stirring all this up. That was not my intention.

Have you gotten permission to do this from the author? I'm pretty sure this isn't permissible under the "All Rights Reserved" license that Details is licensed under. Usually redistribution is not allowed unless explicitly stated.

Im no lawyer but there is no license set in the repo nor a LICENSE file in the repo. If they dont want it to happen they should do it themselves or not host it openly on github.

Software licenses do no require the license to be stated in the source code. It is stated on CurseForge. Just because you don't agree with a dev (or think they are too slow to implement a change) does not mean you get privileges to violate the license.

He has it published in multiple places. When you publish something, you need to provide the license. It doesn't matter where it's published if it doesn't have a license in it.

The only distasteful part of the conversation was you calling wow addon development "A toxic waste dump".

The only GPL software in the project is LibCompress. There is an LGPL library used, I'm too lazy to find which one. But doesn't matter because of LibCompress.

As a matter of fact since he built his code on GPL software he does not even technically own the code.

This is actually against GPL. The GPL does not remove your copyright to your own code. It just grants the users the freedom to do with it as they wish within the GPL. Should Terciob decide tomorrow to replace LibCompress with a non gpl alternative, and fix the license. He is absolutely free to do so. Such a change wouldn't invalidate the licensure on the previous versions, but all other versions going forward would be non GPL in that case. Just because he uses GPL does not mean he does not own his code.

You are free to refer to that car crash of a discussion any way you like. The facts are: At this moment in time Details violates the licensing terms of the GPL by not redistributing under the same license.

It continues to baffle me how folks keep on digging when told they're in a hole. All your anti free and open source sentiment does is damage the project. And it is anti free software, because you don't understand that free software doesn't mean the developer gets no money. The free refers to how you can access it and what you can do with it, not what and how you pay for it.

But I'm not wasting any more time explaining FOSS and its principles here. This is why I referred to wow addon development as a toxic waste dump. It attracts people that use FOS Software without understanding the fundamentals let alone having the intention to actually honor them. Dunno why. Don't care anymore.

The only reason I haven't dumped the repo and uninstalled details is that Tercioo hasn't stated anything to me or in any discussion on the topic I've seen and I won't hold ill informed and/or rude people in his community against him.

EoD for me, kindly don't continue mentioning me, because I sort of want to stay subscribed in case Tercioo does feel like commenting.

It is indeed now on wago.io so that makes it compatible with WoWUp. Thank you, I'll remove my own mirror.

Adding the metadata to the release on GitHub is still desirable so it can be directly updated from here.

Completed? I use Ajour and it doesn't see this as a valid addon URL. I don't see release.json anywhere in the repo.

(I've been using Skada for damage/thread/heal meters and was looking for a maintained alternative and Details was suggested.)
