</span>Yep, done: 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 added<br>
<br>
Currently the nightly requests the ?qgis=3.0 version (see [0])<br>
<br>
by the way, running the get_plugins.xml script takes 2,5 minute<br>
$ time ./get_plugins_xml<br>
real 2m27.058s<br>
user 0m0.040s<br>
sys 0m0.096s<br>
And runs every 10 minutes. Maybe we should bring that up in future, or<br>
make the script faster?<br>
