qgispluginreleaser

Add-on for zest.releaser for releasing qgis plugins.

Zest.releaser can be extended, see its entrypoints documentation.

What we do:

• We hook into the “release” step and create a zipfile with a version number and copy it to the current directory. You can scp it to a server afterwards.

• In the “prerelease” and “postrelease” steps we change the version number in the qgis metadata.txt file.

Installation

You’ll have to install it globally (or in a custom virtualenv) as qgis plugins normally don’t have a full python setup.

The plugin checks whether there’s a metadata.txt (lowercase) with a qgisMinimumVersion string inside it. If found, the plugin runs. Otherwise it stays out of the way. So it should be safe to install globally.

Credits

• Reinout van Rees started this library.
