Hi all.
This brings another, more general question: how are going to deal with plugins? We
have a number of them that, even if they're not official, are so useful and widely
used we cannot afford missing. It has already happened several times now (and many
more times will happen in the future) that someone can and wants to improve someone
else's plugin, provide a patch, or simply to notify a bug. I think a trac is a
necessity now.
So I'm suggesting to open a separate trac, e.g. https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis-addons/
Alternatively, this could be a separate branch of the current trunk.
I can provide a script that automatizes plugin package generation from svn (we're
using it for our Faunalia plugins since several months now).
The only additional work for the admins would therefore be to grant selective access
to the addons to interested devs, but that's not too bad (and I can help if nobody
else has the time to do it). Of course any additional help is warmly welcomed.
Please let me know your feelings about this proposal.
All the best.
