Howdy all,
We just uploaded a new version of the automated plugin verification system to the server so I just wanted to let you know the new things it does vs. the old one. This is the program that runs on our servers that analyzes plugin submissions for valid syntax and other things before publishing them into the repository.
Updates are:
1) Plugin removal requests can now be made without having to specify a manifest
2) Screenshots can be transferred from the download2.sagetv.com FTP server to the download.sagetv.com server in the same way that package files can
3) Circular dependencies are now prevented (i.e. the submissions will be rejected)
4) Plugins cannot be removed if other plugins are dependent on them
5) Creation date is created automatically if not specified on a new plugin submissions (it will be appended to the manifest automatically in the repository)
6) Modification date is created automatically if not specified for new/upgrade plugin submissions (it will be appended to the manifest automatically in the repository)
Thanks again for all the plugin contributions. We're now on version 247 of the repository (each change made to the plugin repository increments the version and probably no more than two dozen of those are from us doing internal testing of things...so there's been over 200 user contributed updates so far) :dance:
