Cool cool, nice.

Yes, there are pretty straightforward (yet not immediately clear...heh) ways to add it to a repo without uploading it yourself (something that's needed/required for other libraries). Can forward the info if you start using Ace3 (etc.) libs in this. But in terms of LibDataBroker, its the one special case.

Good luck and nice job again.

Its pretty straightforward to add it so that it will be packaged properly, but they don't make it too clear about the steps needed here...heh.

The most common way:

1) Download the latest LibDataBroker-1.1.lua to your PC (v4), upload it to /trunk/libs/LibDataBroker-1.1. When you tag the mod for release, also add it to the tagged directories.

2) Add the following line to your TOC (as of r5, line 14 would work best):

libs\LibDataBroker-1.1\LibDataBroker-1.1.lua

That's it.

Also, that's the only library you should ever hard-embed. Its recommended by its author to be, it hasn't been changed for years and is unlikely to be in the future unless the Toomanypandas expansion in some way causes problems.

As to the mod, another thing that would work is adding external access permission to the repository. So that other registered authors here can help out and/or support the mod if/when you no longer want to.

Nice effort.

One thing will likely want to do before release: embed LibDataBroker-1.1 that this uses. Its the recommended method as per its API page, instead of relying on other mods to provide it.

Another potential change for "tidiness" (that will work): take the file links out of GemHelper-Broker.xml, get rid of the xml file & put them into the TOC instead.
