Hi, ok, fine that you talked to him :)
I understand that you want to avoid clashes, makes sense. But If I accept this PR we would have two versions of your add-on in the official repository (plugin.video.bromix.tlc_de and plugin.video.tlc_de) plus AddonScriptorDE has one (plugin.video.tlc_de) in his repository. This is a bad situation for the users. We should solve it this way: (1. AddonscriptorDE needs to create a version of plugin.video.tlc_de in his repository with version e.g. 1.1.0) 2. You create a PR for plugin.video.tlc_de with version < 1.1.0 in the official repository with broken set "Please use foo bar" 3. You create a PR for plugin.video.bromix_tlc_de with any version because its new. 4. After a while, maybe 1 month I will delete the broken plugin.video.tlc_de from the repository. If you think that YOUR plugin.video.tlc_de is not installed often enough to justify this expensive change tell me and I will instantly delete your plugin.video.tlc_de from the official repository (so we skip 1, 2 and 4). If you agree with this solution, could you take care of steps 1, 2 and 3? regards, sphere 2014-07-15 17:26 GMT+02:00 bromix <[email protected]>: > Yes, I contacted AddonScriptorDE, otherwise I wouldn't do this right now :( > We agreed to this solution on XBMCnerds.com.
