[QGIS-Developer] Policy on compiled plugins

[Alexandre Neto]

AFAIK, nothing has changed regarding the policy of distributing compiled
libraries. The QGIS official repository can't distribute files that are not
open.

Some alternatives are:

- create your own repository to distribute the plugin including the
complide;

- add a routine to download and install the compiled libraries on the first
run of the plugin. With the consent of the user, ofc.

Best regards,

Alexandre Neto
