<p>Hi Lova,</p>
<p>thanks for your swift response!</p>
<p>That's what I expected and what seems very reasonable,
considering the potential for problems. I think we will simply
publish a new version of the old plugin to display a message to
our (few) existing users and create a "new" plugin for the new
version.</p>
<p>That should keep surprise factor low and allow a clean cut
without any unforeseen issues.</p>
<p>Are we able to upload a new plugin that uses the same name as the
existing, deprecated one? Or do we have to choose a new name (or a
different name for the old one) first?<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Cheers, Hannes<br>

<div>At the moment, it's not possible to change a plugin's

page. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This feature was previously requested with a PR, but it was
closed due to potential client-side issues. When the
package_name changes, QGIS may recognize the plugin as a new
one, leading to possible installation errors. </div>

there!<br>
<br>
Wonderful people from Oslandia have started collaborating on
our <br>
experimental (and somewhat buggy) Profile Manager plugin.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/profile-manager/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/profile-manager/</a><br>
<a href="https://github.com/WhereGroup/profile-manager/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/WhereGroup/profile-manager/</a><br>
<br>
One of the changes was restructuring the repository and using
a <br>
PEP8-compliant directory name for the plugin's module
directory <br>
("profile_manager" instead of "profile-manager").<br>
<br>
Now the automated CI/CD upload of new releases fails.
Presumably because <br>
the site expects "profile_manager".<br>
<a href="https://github.com/WhereGroup/profile-manager/issues/10#issuecomment-2402479699" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/WhereGroup/profile-manager/issues/10#issuecomment-2402479699</a><br>
<br>
Would it be possible to update that on the plugin's existing
Plugins <br>
repository entry?<br>
<br>
I saw <br>
<a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2024-May/066744.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2024-May/066744.html</a>
<br>
but that was only for the user visible name, the plugin's URL
and the <br>
installed directory name stayed the same.<br>
<br>
What would it mean for existing users?<br>
Would they simply not be notified about new releases, and have
to <br>
install the "new" plugin manually?<br>
Or would something break and require manual intervention, e.g.
two <br>
version of the plugin being installed and loaded, one in <br>
plugins/profile_manager and the old one in
plugins/profile-manager?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Hannes<br>
