Hi Ale, hi all, today I've shared a plugin (spatialite_manager) through the plugins website following only the information I gradually found in pages I visited.
Below there's the list of problems I found. 1. In http://plugins.qgis.org/ the displayed informations are not consistent. 1.a. In section "How to add your plugin to this repository" I can see: - "register your plugin at http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins, to show plugin info, add issues/tickets and to have just ONE repository for all qgis plugins." Shouldn't it be this optional as the user can choose any tracker? - about the sub-section "depending on your plugin/ideas/capabilities" I'm not sure I understand what this means, so I think should be re-written. 2. About the PyQGIS cookbook: 2.a. The section "Release a plugin" into the cookbook needs to be update with the new procedure, It also contains a link to the old plugins repo site. 2.b. There isn't a section about metadata.txt, what information it contains, where put the file, ... 3. Back to plugins site, 3.a After I upload a new plugin that doesn't have a "metadata.txt" file, the webapp displays too much warnings (about 5 or 6), - the first warning says that the Tracker is missing in metadata, - the second warning says that the Repository is missing in metadata, - the third warning says that the Homepage is missing in metadata, - a message says that the plugin was successful uploaded - another warning about the missing metadata.txt file - the last warning says me to consider creating a project on hub (but the link sends to the hub homepage, not to the new project page and of course it cannot populate any field in the create new project page). 4. In Hub (redmine instance), if I create a new project adding a tick to repository, then setting up the repository is too much difficult: 4.a In the section "Permission Setup:" - it says to upload an ssh public key, but without any explaination on how to find or create the public key (GH has a very intuitive guide here http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect/) - It also says "Add yourself as a project developer: SpatiaLite Manager Settings -> Members Tab -> New Member", even if who create a new project already is a member, but he doesn't have developer permission. 4.b After I set the type of the repository there's no way to change it. I think it's all. I'm going to file bugs for all the things I said.
