CraftBukkitUpToDate

Keep your Server/Plugins up to date

After the plugin detect a new build, it download to bukkit_update in the main-Folder. After that you must stop your server and copy the craftbukkit.jar from bukkit_update to your main-Folder.

After Version 1.4 I support plugins if a new version found it download to build_update/plugins. After that stop your server and copy/move the new files to your plugin-Folder

This is no autoupdater, it only download the new Version do the update-Folder, the user have to copy the files. On this way, he know which plugins he update and can check if he like to update.

I recommend to save your old craftbukkit.jar/plugin before update. Not all builds from CraftBukkit work correctly.

Features

Pail Gui-Support check Thread for more infos

Permissions

Permissions/GroupManager is optional else only ops can use the commands. Available permission nodes are (case sensitive):

craftbukkituptodate.broadcast - these users get a message if a new build available
craftbukkituptodate.plugin - these users can use plugin-Command
craftbukkituptodate.update - these users can use the update-Command

Automatic update

For Linux-User, if you like to move your new plugins automaticly, try the script from Myx0x3: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...ugins-up-to-date-400.5026/page-10#post-122380

or for more features use the one from Tealk: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/linux-server-startscript-menu/

or use the Bukkit-Build-In: You can configured it by yourself, all you must do is to open the bukkit.yml and change the update-folder to ../bukkit_update/plugins. I don't recommend this, because all plugins updated automaticly without any user-interactions.

My Plugin didn't supported, how i get it to work with CButD?

There are three ways, you have to make only one of them:

1. Add it to http://dev.bukkit.org/. Your link should be like the jar-File-Name if your jar-File example.jar your link on dev.bukkit.org should be http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/example/. If not no problem you have two other options:

2. Add dev-url to your plugin.yml this should look like : dev-url: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/example/, please replace the url with your one, else it didn't work. Also you should know that only dev.bukkit.org-Urls works.

Here is a example plugin.yml:

name: Your name
main: Your main class
version: Your version
dev-url: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/replace this with your url of dev-Bukkit/
commands:
    your command:
        description: descrition
        usage: /<command> <function> [buildnumber]
        aliases: [alias1, alias2]

3. If option 1 and option 2 didn't work for you let me know this and I add it to my plugin.properties. Please remember I only support dev.bukkit.org-Plugins.

Also you should know that your project at dev.bukkit.org should contain file-Downloads, else I have no chance to check for updates and download the newest version.

FAQ

Did the plugin.properties update automaticly?

Yes, if a new one available it update automatic.

Did you download all plugins every time to check for updates?

No, I use the rss-Feed of dev-bukkit

Do you automatic update my plugins?

No I'm only download the new version to bukkit_update/plugins you have to copy them to your Plugin-Folder. I will never implement a autoupdater, you are the Admin and you have to choose which plugins you like to update. This is only a little help to do this.

How can I choose if between recommend and beta version?

In CraftBukkitUpToDate.properties set recommendedBuild=true, if you like the recommend Build, or recommendedBuild=false if you like the beta-Version.

Now that Bukkit supports a plugin update folder, will CBUTD add support for it, so we are able to run a /reload after CBUTD runs and have the updated plugins load?

Not by default. But you can configured it by yourself, all you must do is to open the bukkit.yml and change the update-folder to ../bukkit_update/plugins. I don't recommend this, because all plugins updated automaticly without any user-interactions.

Can I add additonal Plugin Folders that will be check if I like to deactivate a plugin but check for updates?

Yes, use the additionalPluginDirs-Option in the CraftBukkitUpToDate.properties

The plugin works. But it doesnt detect the plugins anymore.

I'm pretty sure this is due to the website switching from dev.bukkit.org/server-mods to dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods

Many of my updates say the jar file is either broken or the author didn't add it to dev.bukkit.org when it is clearly on dev.bukkit.org.

Examples from my log.
- 08.06 00:08:02 [Server] INFO No source for TuxTwoLib v1.5.2-b2 ask the Author to add it to dev.bukkit.org
- 08.06 00:08:02 [Server] INFO Not able to update HealthBar.jar. It seems there are no file-Uploads at dev.bukkit.org.
- 08.06 00:07:49 [Server] INFO CommandSigns.jar the jar-File is broken. Please check it.
- 08.06 00:07:37 [Server] INFO BKCommonLib.jar the jar-File is broken. Please check it.
- 08.06 00:08:15 [Server] INFO Not able to update CraftBukkitUpToDate.jar. It seems there are no file-Uploads at dev.bukkit.org.
- 08.06 00:08:39 [Server] INFO Not able to update Vault.jar. It seems there are no file-Uploads at dev.bukkit.org.
- 08.06 00:08:40 [Server] INFO No source for Enjin Minecraft Plugin v2.4.4-bukkit ask the Author to add it to dev.bukkit.org
- 08.06 00:08:52 [Server] INFO TagAPI.jar the jar-File is broken. Please check it.
- 08.06 00:09:56 [Server] INFO Not able to update DisguiseCraft.jar. It seems there are no file-Uploads at dev.bukkit.org.
- 08.06 00:09:54 [Server] INFO No source for PlotMe v0.13b ask the Author to add it to dev.bukkit.org
- 08.06 00:09:29 [Server] INFO No source for AntiBuild v2.8 ask the Author to add it to dev.bukkit.org
- 08.06 00:09:29 [Server] INFO ChestShop.jar the jar-File is broken. Please check it.
- 08.06 00:09:22 [Server] INFO list
- 08.06 00:09:04 [Server] INFO No source for MotdManager v1.41-b20 ask the Author to add it to dev.bukkit.org
And the same thing for another 10-20 plugins.

And for some reason, around 10 plugins actually work properly i.e craftbook. Perhaps this is a problem with the other plugins not updating their info.

I tested the newest Beta Build and it works fine with CButD so there's no need for a update.

I doesn't support Development-Builds.

Edit: I also tested the newest dev-Build it also works fine. The next time first test than cry.

@kreezxil: Go I genrated a ticket. I think this is a great idea

I run a half-dozen separate servers linked together with BungeeCord, symlinking plugins from a central folder. It would be nice if I could point CBUTD at that central folder instead of plugins/. :)
