Hi, during the HF we introduced two new fields in the plugins web application http://plugins.qgis.org :
* author * email this new fields are now mandatory for both the old __init__.py and the new metadata.txt file. Temporary documentation can be found at https://github.com/qgis/qgis-django/blob/master/qgis-app/plugins/docs/metadata.rst Having the webiste user (which comes from OSGEO LDAP authentication) decoupled from the plugin author and email makes now possible to show a different author and email for each plugin even if uploaded by the same website user. All existing plugins author and email, when missing, have beeen automatically filled using LDAP informations, but all new plugins must now contain author and email metadata in order to be accepted on the repository. These new field must also be changed in the plugin builder, in particular, the old authorName is now ignored and should be changed (or maybe better copied ) in "author" Please note that the __init__.py parser in the web application only recognize functions returning quoted strings or boolean values. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
