This is not always the case, I know at least one plugin without ui files. But the question is not if a plugin generally needs a repository/tracker, of course it does. The question is if a plugin can be uploaded in the official plugins repository even if it misses a repository/tracker. There is some automatic validation in place and automatic rules do not admit exceptions. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
