[QGIS-Developer] Fwd: [SpatialTapestry/QGIS-Plugin---Vector-Themes-to-DB] Version number in QGIS plugin repository wrong (Issue #2)

[Lova Andriarimalala]

Dear Roger,

After checking the metadata.txt of the latest versions of VectorToDBLoader
and landXMLtoDB_Free, I noticed that the changelog field has defined values
but is still commented. For some reason, it confuses the workflow and the
last word `Plugin` becomes the version instead of `1.0`. I think this
should not be allowed (I will create an issue to add an additional check
for this case).

To fix the issue, I suggest uncommenting the changelog attribute like below
(or remove the values if you don't want them to show in the plugin details):

changelog=
> 1.0: After 1000+ downloads and nothing reported, I assume all is good with
> this plugin.
> 1.0: https://gismart.net/stores/spatialtapestry/ is the GoTo Store for
> more capable versions of this Plugin


Afterwards, you can upload the updated zip files for each plugin at
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/landXMLtoDB/version/Plugin/update/ and
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/vectortodbloader/version/Plugin/update/.

These processes should fix the version numbers and show the changelog on
the specific version details page.

PS: You can also find some notes about plugins publishing at
https://plugins.qgis.org/publish.

I hope this helps,

Best regards,

Lova Andriarimalala
