Explore package testing possibilities & push auto updates on commit about avsrepo HOT 7 OPEN

Would it be ideal to host it all over GitHub possibly? It could be done through Actions sending updates to the same release every time a package is changed. Then the URL would always be constant and could be served directly from GitHub

Yes, after the validation & push part is implemented, avspackages.json + ideally a simple web page could be hosted on github.

Ah right. GitHub pages would be easier.

I'm thinking of getting a test up and running today of avsupdaterepo.py running on a cron every 15 minutes through Actions. I think a better solution would be to ask the various people who are hosting their files on a GitHub repository, for access to this specific API call https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#external-events-repository_dispatch

With this, it would send the needed trigger (alternative is a cron) to run the package update.

I don't think this can work reliably. vsrepo had always some problems with "bigger" plugins where the folder structure changed or other things got renamed.

I was thinking in the end, each package could have its own action. So the triggers could occur for releases or commits to the Plugin's repository. Could I reach you another way by chance? Do you have telegram? Discord?
