Notes

Assumes you have http://anarchintosh-projects.googlecode....nerator.py in your repository folder
Assumes you have a TexturePacker folder containing all the nessecary files on C:
Change the location F:\xbmc.repo.hitcher to your repository folder

Then simply create a shortcut for the build.bat and pass the skin folder name as a parameter like this -

Here's my repo addon.xml -

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon
    id="xbmc.repo.hitcher"
    name="Hitcher's repository"
    version="3.0.1"
    provider-name="Hitcher">
    <extension point="xbmc.addon.repository"
        name="Hitcher's Add-on Repository">
        <info>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19745842/Repo/addons.xml</info> 
        <checksum>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19745842/Repo/addons.xml.md5</checksum> 
        <datadir zip="true">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19745842/Repo</datadir>  
    </extension>
    <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
        <summary>Hitcher's Add-ons for XBMC</summary>
        <description>Download and install Add-ons for XBMC.</description>
        <disclaimer>If it breaks, you get to keep the pieces</disclaimer>
        <platform>all</platform>
    </extension>
</addon> 

My repo is stored in my Public DropBox folder so if you use the same method just change your URLs.

It would be nice if you could 'hold' a specific version of an addon/skin within XBMC. That way, if I want to contribute to a given skin, I can:

* put the skin on hold
* clone their repo straight into my working addons folder
* branch, do work, commit, push
* take skin off hold

I currently achieve this by just setting the skin's version to 9.9.9 whenever I'm working on it, but this would be a bit nicer.
