1. hmmm not until we finish the beta status i think maybe we will start when we have a first RC

2. you should use a gittool to keep madnox up to date, and u dont need to download the whole pack over and over again i have a link to a realy good guide in my ... öhm formaly known 101 ^^
if you want to download it over and over again, u need to unzip the the file, and rename the folder just to "skin.aeon.madnox" ... i dont know, it maybe work with -master too... but realy try to use a git tool ! its not so hard to setup

I tried top follow the 101 on the GIT tool, but had trouble understanding. I was able to Clone to Desktop, then fork it, ... but need more direct instructions after that in order to just "update" a skin Some of the instructions of Warner was for making changes to a skin, then uploading I believe ... anyway, couldn't get it... if there are any other links, please post.
thanks man!

hmmm just a quicky : if you have windows !
install git for windows:HERE
i dont have it installed anymore ( i needed a bit more, because i need to be synch with mikes master ^^ ) - but after u installed it u need to go to mikes github page and click on the " CLONE IN DESKTOP" icon ( right side over the download zip icon )
after that git for window ask you where to download it - THIS IS IMPORTANT !!! u need to set the path to your addons folder where u normaly copy your madnox folder ! ( u need to delete your old madnox folder before !!! - or move it elsewhere to be safe )
then git for windows will synch/download the actual state of madnox to that addonfolder inside the skin.aeon.madnox
and it will add a git folder to it

when we have an update now, u just need to start git for windows and it will show you the update - click synch and it will update the new files...

well i think that was it basicly - for just keep synch with an actual git project its good enough - when u have a forked project, its not so good ( in my eyes )

if you have problems, maybe google for a guide for git for windows - because this is the easiest tool out there

good luck

Follow the instructions in the guide I posted. When you get to the Clone to Desktop portion, clone the GitHub folder to your addon folder (the folder where your addons including Madnox are located).

Quote:

4. CLONE THE REPOSITORY TO THE DESKTOP

Once the skin has been forked, click Clone in Desktop to create a copy of the forked repository in GitHub for Windows (choose GitHub). The program will ask you to select a folder for the skin to be copied. It can be convenient to place this folder in Kodi addons so downloaded changes are reflected immediately in the active skin (e.g. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons). The existing skin folder must first be deleted for the GitHub fork to take its place. Others may prefer to keep the GitHub folder separate from the active skin to avoid overwriting and losing local versions.

Syncing to this folder requires the use of GitShell to pull the changes from the Web. This requires two entries (three if done for the first time).

GitHub guide: 229467 (thread).

Section 5 deals with syncing to the original repository.
