I'd suggest that you:
1. Rename the zip file to WeatherClock-0.1.zip
2. Create a repository xml file with a content like this (feel free to
use your real name and the description of your choice if you like to,
the text below is just a sample):
Code:
--------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<extensions>
<details>
<title lang="EN">Aslak3's plugins</title>
</details>
<plugins>
<plugin name="WeatherClock" version="0.1" minTarget="7.4.0" maxTarget="*">
<title lang="EN">Weather Clock *Beta*</title>
<desc lang="EN">*** BETA VERSION ***. Plugin to show weather information and
current clock (Boom, Transporter, Classic)</desc>
<creator>Aslak3</creator>
<url>http://www.aslak.net/WeatherClock-0.1.zip</url>
<sha>96a2c1f77f4647801c2758c0d444dd8ea79bcd88</sha>
<link>http://www.aslak.net</link>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</extensions>
--------------------
3. Publish the repository xml somewhere for example
http://www.aslak.net/sbsrepository.xml
4. When you like to publish a 0.2 version you will need to:
- Upload the zip file as WeatherClock-0.2.zip
- Calculate a new sha using the "sha1sum" tool or similar on your Linux
machine (if you like to use Windows there are similar tools available).
Change the "sha" element in the repository xml file.
- Change 0.1 to 0.2 in the repository xml file (the "version" attribute
and the "url" element)
Note, when ever you points the url in the repository xml file to a new
zip or repackage the zip you will at least need to recalculate the sha
checksum as described above.
When you feel that the login is stable you may add the repository url
to the following wiki page and we will add it to the officially
repository which will make it available to users even if they haven't
setup your repository url manually:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenter_Repositories
There is a section at the bottom on this wiki page for beta
repositories where you can add the url even if you don't like it to be
part of the official repository yet.
The advantage of having a repository xml is that users doesn't have to
know where to unzip it and they will get notifications of new versions
automatically through the Squeezebox Server web interface. My own
experience it that it causes a lot less questions during the
installation phase, so it's really worth the trouble.
