[QGIS-Developer] Problem with plugin upload

[Joona Laine]

Hello Folks!

I noticed that there might be a problem with QGIS plugin repository while
uploading plugins. I tried to add a new version to a plugin (FMI2QGIS
<https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/FMI2QGIS/>) first via qgis-plugin-ci
<https://github.com/opengisch/qgis-plugin-ci> and then manually on web
page, but both methods failed with error messages:

<Fault 1: "File upload must be a valid QGIS Python plugin compressed
archive. For security reasons, zip file cannot contain '.git' directory">

and

 "There were errors reding plugin package (please check also your plugin's
metadata). For security reasons, zip file cannot contain '.git' directory".

I double checked the metadata.txt file and made sure that there were no
.git -directory in the zip file but still the problem persisted. I even
tried to upload the previous version again with a different version number
to see if the problem might lie in the plugin upload process instead and I
couldn't upload that one either.

Thanks!
