AW: [Qgis-psc] SVN Access for CFarmer's plugins

[Hugentobler Marco]

Hi all

Related to the svn access discussion:
Once version 1.0 will be out (or branched) we need to think if we want to include new python plugins into the standard distribution.
I didn't use CFarmers plugins so far. If they all depend on R, then it is probably better to not have them shipped with the distribution.
In the case of the geoprocessing plugin (only dependent on qgis core/gui) it is different. In my opinion, we should include it in svn as a default plugin. That will also include svn access for Horst to maintain the plugin. What do you think?

Regards,
Marco

Note that I wasnt proposing that his plugins should go into QGIS itself,
just into the QGIS SVN repo. The external_plugins area in QGIS SVN is
for plugins that don't ship with QGIS by default (they could be at the
option of the packager for a particular platform though). Carsen has
done great stuff but my understanding is that his plugins require R and
thus dependency chain would be too long IMHO for e.g. incorporating his
stuff into our official debs.

That said, Gary has reservations about giving him access so I will
probably give him some svn space on my personal server.

Regards
