Release Don't Cast on other addon repositories?

Hello,

I love your addon - I find it incredibly helpful!

Would it be possible to package this for release on wago, wowinterface, or via github? With Curseforge / overwolf shutting down external API, the only people who can get automatic updates are those using overwolf.

https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager
https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager/wiki

Those should be of some help here if you are interested.

Thank you for your consideration!

DontCast has actually always been available on wowinterface https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info22555-DontCast.html - though historically I haven't updated the version there as frequently as what's on curse (since the download count there is a small fraction of what it is on curse), e.g. the last time I updated it there was last July. But I just updated it to the current version that supports 9.2.5 and moving forward I can try to keep it in sync with what's on curse.

As for additional options, I'm not really interested in having to update things on three or four different sites every time there's a new release (and obtaining it via github it already possible since cloning this repo into the addons folder would result in a working copy of the addon). If the wowinterface numbers remain low maybe someday I'll remove it from there and add it to wago, but no promises.

Hello,

Awesome! I'll grab it from wowinterface :)

The reason I mention github specifically is that trying to automatically install & update it doesn't presently work; GitHub import requires addons to have a built release within the repo (ie github.com/addon_name/releases). If the URL only contains source zip files it will not import. So we can do it manually from github (or curse) but not automatically via addon managers.

FWIW, Wago has payout options for devs like Curse does, so it might be worth adding onto there eventually for you :)
