Hello Martin, I do not know redmine internals, but if it has an webservice API we could optionally create the project automatically. We could also show in the web application appropriate links to the bug tracker when the link exists.

With RPC4Django we can have a fully functional RPC webservice, when the WS is in place, writing a python/php/bash-wget client would be easy to do. Can you please file a ticket for this API ? -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Yes this is still valid - the idea is to move plugin's metadata to a text file that is easier to parse by a machine. In my opinion it should be the good old INI format which is well supported on both qt side (QSettings) and python side (ConfigParser). > * redmine integration (optional) > * git integration ?

I just want to point out that until now nobody has come up with a set of requirements and appropriate design decisions etc. > did I miss anything ? I would add one thing: API for uploading new versions of plugins. In my opinion one reason why many developers did not use the old plugin repository was that it was slightly inconvenient to upload new versions - visit the site, login, find the plugin (only 10 plugins per page), edit plugin details, find the zip file, upload. Having a simple API accepting POST requests (consisting of username, password, plugin name, changelog and zip file) would be very handy - that would allow a simple command line tool for deploying of plugins, completely automating the process of packaging and uploading.

Exactly, there were a few discussions and we always decided to not mix plugins and use the new repo for 2.0 exclusively. ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

IMHO there's only one really missing feature: more integration between the plugin site and the Redmine trac. Ok to keep each developer free to choose the preferred tracking system, but I think that the plugin site should suggest to create a new project on the Redmine. Furthermore I'd like if in the plugin details page there's a link to report an issue or just to go to the trac page (Redmine or whatever). The plugin site will be the user interface of the "QGis plugins system", so that kind of integration is required IMHO, it can do the difference!

Re: [Qgis-developer] New plugins web application
Hi Alessandro, As a not very good programmer I am probably not that helpful but if I can help in any way just tell me what to do and I will support you as I feel you are perfectly right .. we should consolidate and replace the old system .. If you want to work on that also in Zürich - I am there too - maybe I can help you .. kind regards Werner On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 2:32 PM, Alessandro Pasotti wrote: > Hi, > > during last Hackfest in Lisbon, me with Tim and the two Ric[h]?ard? > have been working on the new web infrastructure (plugins.qgis.org), > the work has continued in the last months with bug fixing and other > improvements. > > I'm not sayng that this new system is perfect but I'm asking myself > why there is a so strong lack of interest for it.
