what exactly do you mean by "autopackaging" ? The new repo now offers API for uploading new versions of plugins - automatic deployment with a script should not be a problem anymore. > Localizations of the descriptions are also something we're > concerned about and it is unfortunate that right now we cannot > provide our users localized descriptions of the plugins. That would require: 1. support in plugins' metadata.txt file. We could add a section in the metadata.txt file for each locale - e.g. [general-ru] for Russian in addition to [general] section. 2. support in QGIS (to show localized texts in plugin installer/manager). Should be relatively easy to add 3. support in the repository. This might need more work (due to changes in database structure) to allow the plugin installer to ask for localized plugin list, something like this: http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?lang=ru Regards Martin _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
