[Qgis-developer] Proposal: removing Processing from plugins repo

[Victor Olaya]

But that's an option in the provider. Some providers should be by
default disabled in Processing (for instance if they require an extra
setup -R- or there is another that is similar -GRASS and GRASS 7-).
For providers that come from a plugin, they should be active by
default, if they want users to have it enabled without going to
Processing and checking the correspodning box. So, in short, that is
an issue of the Provider plugin itself, since you can tell Processing
to have it enabled by default.

Hope this helps
