[Qgis-developer] Installer update - more repositories needed! ;)

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Borys

I installed your plugin installer - I discovered that I needed to
restart QGIS before it appeared, after which it is working great! Are
you happy for us to replace the one in QGIS source tree now with it?
As soon as we get your plugin into the source tree we can start
feature freeze. Are you able to provide a patch for QGIS that
incorporates your plugin? If not could a pythonista out there help
with this?

Regards

Tim

> It will be great if every repository would be provided in two instances.
