CurseBreaker VS packager

Cursebreaker works well enough. Sure it is limited to Wowinterface and Github releases, but it supports some of the stuff that gets updated daily like raider.io or BigWigs. Mythic Dungeon Tools is one of the few big ones that's missing, but it no longer is a hard requirement like it used to be back in Shadowlands.

You can give Cursebreaker a try. It supports some of the add-ons that get daily updates like ElvUI, Raider.io, DBM/BigWigs, AdiBags, HandyNotes, OmniCC and a few others. It's not every add-on, but that's the price you pay for not using Overwolf or WowUp.

I use Cursebreaker. For the few add-ons that aren't supported because they are Curseforge-only I check them manually. Most others that receive daily updates are supported, though.

I'm tired of manually keeping my addons up-to-date, so I tried https://github.com/AcidWeb/CurseBreaker , but where does it store all the addons? Also some addons from CurseForge are missing. How do I mix/match them?

I'm going to offer a linux-y alternative, and suggest CurseBreaker. No GUI, just a CLI. Supports Wago, WowInterface, TukUI, and Github

What about the CurseBreaker? (https://github.com/AcidWeb/CurseBreaker)

I got an idea and I want to make a console tool for some small file management and automatic downloads. I really like how wow's cursebreaker works and looks and I think I'll use it for a template, but I was wondering if anyone here has a nice guide or resource on how to do proper python console GUIs? Just so I can get the hang of fundamentals before trying to do it all at once.

If you still want to update ElvUI automatically, you can use its own client, or use an add-on manager like WowUp or Cursebreaker.

Also, GitHub repos can use https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager instead of curseforge release system to get their dependencies, publish to various sites, and support multiple versions of the game.

Same here. All the addons I've developed are on Wago, Wowinterface, and GitHub, as well as Curse. It's super easy these days to deploy to all three places at once using the BigWigs Packager so the day Overwolf pulls the plug on WowUp my addons should just be transitioned to being downloaded from Wago (if enabled) or Wowinterface (if not).
