"perturbation", mmm had to look up this one
since we are cleaning up these perturbations ;-), I thought to add a
small refinement.
What about the idea that we all add a file 'version.txt' into the root
of the zip. Is it possible for the repository (and so for the python
plugin-installer) to serve that from the zip when people ask for it
like: http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis/plugins/mapserver_export.zip?version
or something like that?
In that way we can put some plugin details and version information in it
(a little more verbose then we do in the 'description'-field now. I'm
really missing this more verbose version information when stuff is not
working, and I want to know IF there is a newer version available, and
what is fixed in that one...)
On the upload of a plugin we can check for the existence of that file,
like we check the zip now isn't it?
Another idea-balloon (sorry if I'm firing to much idea's): what if we
ask maintainers of plugins to add a blog-item for every plugin. In that
way as a maintainer you can give some more information (screendumps)
about it, and other people can add comments on it, adding idea's patches
or help?
By the way, I really think the plugin concept is doing great!

Now I've found out that the problem is due to incorrect creation of
directories - in some cases zip files, directories are not listed (in
that case we create only top-level dir which leads to the problem with
subdirectories).
Fixed in trunk in r8191 but users of prebuilt packages will have to
unpack the plugin manually.
The version prior to r8191 worked and was not the cause of the issue
in this thread. The problem is that the fix has not made it into a
released version yet.
Actually, I had the same error in my fresh svn trunk checkout so I
doubt that it was working ... were you able to install html_imagemap?
That .zip file doesn't list the directories, only files. So only the
top level directory was created which resulted in an error since that
.zip contains also some more subdirs which were not created.
Well then it was just another perturbation that hadn't been accounted
for yet. Hopefully the latest changes will cover all the bases....
