[Qgis-user] How to create a local (LAN) plugin repository

[Gary Sherman]

It's simple to set up a repo on your network. First create an XML file that
describes your plugin(s) and the download location. Here is an example:

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='/contributed.xsl' ?>
<plugins>
  <pyqgis_plugin name='ScriptRunner' version='0.71'>
    <description>Run Python scripts </description>
    <version>0.71</version>
    <qgis_minimum_version>1.8</qgis_minimum_version>
    <homepage></homepage>
    <file_name>scriptrunner.zip</file_name>
    <author_name>Gary Sherman</author_name>
    <download_url>http://geoapt.com/qgis_plugins/scriptrunner.zip
</download_url>
    <uploaded_by>gsherman</uploaded_by>
    <create_date>2013-03-16</create_date>
    <update_date>None</update_date>
    <experimental>True</experimental>
  </pyqgis_plugin>
</plugins>

Put this on your web server somewhere, then make sure you put the plugin
package in the download_url location.

Last step is to add your repo to the plugin installer, using the URL to
your plugins.xml.

Please consider contributing any plugins you create that may have broader
interest to the the community.

Thanks,
-gary
