WUU is a program to keep your WoW addons up-to-date, regardless(well, almost, see the FAQ further down) of which site you get them from - WoWInterface, Curse-Gaming, AuctioneerAddon, GathererAddon, CosmosUI, CTMod, CapnBry, GoogleCode (plus SVN) are explicitly supported, while the OtherSites module can be used to update addons from, well, other sites.
Some of the features are:
One-button update of your addons
Works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
Simple interface for installing from WoWAce and CosmosUI
Changelog report after updating
Can use the Coral CDN to save the sites' bandwith, and make patch day upgrading faster
Automatic self-updater (with cryptographically signed download)
WUU 1.6.446 osx (might work better for Tiger, it will self-update to the latest version)
MD5 sums:
052fb14d25762672977a51de14301936 *WUU-1.6.446.dmg
(Beta versions are usually posted in the thread, and/or WUU can tell you about them if you enable "Allow WUU beta version" in Preferences)
Getting started
Due to addons being available from multiple sites, WUU can be a bit tricky to get started with.
There are some instructions here, which should at least get you most of the way :) Backup your addons before you try WUU, just in case ;)
I want to set up a general OtherSite addon entry to handle AuctioneerAdvancedSuite but it seems that the matched version string has to be a simple integer or date, and not some more complex version string like "5.0.PRE.2468".
Here's what I can do at the moment (just grab trailing "2468" and hard code "5.0.PRE."):
Addon Directory: Auc-Advanced
Friendly Name: AuctioneerAdvancedSuite
Source Site: OtherSite
Site ID: [url]http://auctioneeraddon.com/[/url]
Download Name Expression: %(site)sdl/Packages/%(fname)s-5.0.PRE.%(ver)s.%(ext)s
Version info is a Date: <unchecked>
Addon Extension regexp: href="%(fname)s-.+?\.([a-z]+)">%(fname)s
Addon Information page: dl/Packages/
Addon Version regexp: href="%(fname)s-.+?\.(\d+)\.%(ext)s">%(fname)s
Use Last Version string: <unchecked>
I'd like to be able to do this:
Download Name Expression: %(site)sdl/Packages/%(fname)s-%(ver)s.%(ext)s
Addon Version regexp: href="%(fname)s-(\d+(?:\.(?:\d+|[A-Z]+))*\.%(ext)s">%(fname)s
Any chance version string manipulation and comparison logic could be improved somewhat?
EDIT: I should also note that when the Addon Version regexp capture group selects something unexpected like "5.0.PRE.2468" WUU currently doesn't say anything in the log view about being unable to handle this format.. It just seems to do nothing..
WUU app on osx (10.5) hangs, this is the latest 1.6.475. The hang is directly after selected the wow directory. Starting with an empty AddOns folder, same problem.
@lejordet,
if you have a *Wish List* or "Pipe Dream List" of features, i'd like to add to it maybe :D
Automagic Regexes, where you simply provide the page URL where the dowload will be at, and then select the link where the download is, and also highlight where the versioning is done, and the program automagicaly generates the regex... I'd like that alot but i realize that it's likely to never happen.

Anything in ~/Library/WUU.log? :) Also, the last few lines of WUU.trace (same dir) would be helpful.
When I try to launch WUU.app on Mac OS X 10.4.10 it bounces a few times in the Dock, then crashes. Here's the CrashLog: http://rafb.net/p/1rXcvk56.html
Hey,
I am not sure why but Outfitter keeps getting flagged as ignore.
I am using the Outfitter Updated addon from curse.com (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/7446/)
I set it as Name: Outfitter Source: CurseGaming SiteId: 7446/Outfitter and I am able to check new version. But it will eventually get ignored again.
Also it seems Auctioneer is still using the same site for the downloads would it be possible to
re-implement Auctioneer. (or add AucAdvanced)

Check if there's a ".svn/" folder in your Outfitter folder - WUU will (in self-defense) not touch folders that potentially contain mods under development.

Hmm, strange. Will see what I can get out of the crash log - did/does the same thing happen with earlier versions?

I just got a new internal hard drive after I tripped on the power cord ruining the old one. I reinstalled Mac OS X on the new one. On my old installation, it worked fine, on the new one it doesn't.

I meant earlier versions of WUU :) Could you download and try something like 1.6.445 (disregard all the old bugs that version might have :P) just to see if it starts?

Great! I downloaded that old version, then updated when it asked me too, and the updated version is working great. Thanks!

Weird, I also use 10.5, and 1.6.475 - no problems here..
I installed this app today for the first time. For some reason it seems to hang during the version check. I'm running v1.6.475 on Vista Home Premium. It is installed on the root directory and being run as admin. Any idea what may be causing this?
Check if there's a ".svn/" folder in your Outfitter folder - WUU will (in self-defense) not touch folders that potentially contain mods under development.
Yes it is. It's already in the zip when you download the mod.
Curse is down at the moment so I can't check, but I remember a comment regarding the .svn folders at the mod page.
Perhaps WUU could have .svn folders added to the list of "forbidden files" to prevent such things?
WUU works wonderfully from my experience so far, however I am concerned by the (possibly) CPU lag I experience while the client is either finding online versions or updating them.
Note to everybody experiencing client "hang"/lag when checking versions (sorry, needed it to be visible :P)
Try going to Preferences and turn off "Use Coral CDN", and tell me if that helps.

Sorry, I thought WUU already skipped .svn folders when extracting - guess I was wrong :( Going to add that.

Crashed on startup today, after updating to 1.6.475. Here's the crash log:
-snip-
Same problem as Airwave had earlier (see earlier posts); he got it working by downloading 1.6.445 and letting it self-update. (I wonder if there's a missing file in the .app - going to investigate)
EDIT: Yes, the .app is definitely missing some .py files. Will try to fix it after work today.
GoogleCode and tullamods is now working with one exception:
With Combuctor I get:
(WARN) Can't get a readable date for Combuctor out of the page: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' (('Combuctor%20Alpha.3.0.zip', '%20Alpha.3.0', 'zip'))

Haha, that's not what I meant (I was thinking of running the older version as-is to see if that crashed), but if it works, it works :P
