Automatic database updates

Filed under: Packrat — Piotr P. Karwasz @ 9:19 am

Since the release of version 1.0-beta of the script, the availability of new cards in the database depended on my daily manual updates. As I begun to have less and less time to dedicate to the script and was away many weekends in a row, these updates became quite rare.

You will be happy to hear that from now on the updates to the script are strictly linked to the updates of the Python script runs every hour on my server (in the first minute of each hour) and looks for information on new cards and collections.

Isaac and Pedro also developed scripts (in Perl and /bin/sh & co. respectively) to fetch informations from the wiki and transform them into the cards database format. I would like to thank them both for their dedication to this script (and the tips I found in their scripts :-)).

So if you need to add a card to the database, add it to the Wiki and wait until the next update. If a new card is introduced with a spelling error in the card image’s name, the script will still have problems. Report the misspelled cards (those found in Tools > GreaseMonkey > Commands > Show unknown cards e.g.) on my blog as usual.
