Hi
The repository looks good, but I couldn't upload the plugin - it failed with
the message
"File upload must be a valid QGIS Python plugin compressed archive. Cannot
find valid metadata in VectorFieldRenderer/__init__.py"
I suspect that this is because my __init__.py is structured as
from Plugin import Plugin
def name():
return Plugin.LongName
...
rather than just being specified as
def name():
return "VectorFieldRenderer"
Is there a document which describes how a plugin needs to be coded to be
uploadable to the repository?
Also some while ago I proposed a convention of putting plugin documentation in
an index.html file in the plugin directory (which is now supported by the
showPluginHelp function in utils.py). I wonder if it would be good provide
access to this from the plugin repository (ie make it available for viewing if
it is included in the zip file).
Also I'm wondering how to specify plugin tags?
Thanks
Chris

Just wondering how the new plugins repository relates to the
existing user contributed plugins repo.
Should we move plugins to the new one, and if so should we
delete them from the existing repository, or is it fine to have two versions of
the same plugin?
Hi,
please copy or move your plugins to the new site (we are actively
working on the development of the new site) and file a ticket on
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-django/issues if you find any issue.
Please notice that if you are not a staff or "trusted" user your
plugins will not be immediately published and a notification email will be sent
to all staff members.
Once a staff member will flag you as "trusted" you will be able to
publish your plugins.
The new site also supports:
* plugins icons
* tags classification (will be available in QGIS desktop)
* revisions (experimental and stable)
