QGIS-Plugin-Repo

Presentation

Merge some QGIS plugin repository together

Single QGIS repository

qgis-plugin-repo merge output_qgis_plugin_ci.xml all_plugins.xml
qgis-plugin-repo merge https://path/to/plugins_to_add.xml all_plugins.xml

The file all_plugins.xml will be edited, according to the plugin name, plugin version and its experimental flag or not. In an XML file, the plugin can have two versions : one experimental and the other one not.

Many QGIS repositories

You can also have multiple XML files like :

qgis/
├── plugins-3.4.xml
├── plugins-3.10.xml
├── plugins-3.16.xml
├── plugins-3.22.xml
└── plugins-3-28.xml

Then, it's possible to call qgis-plugin-repo to dispatch an XML plugin in matching QGIS XML files :

qgis-plugin-repo merge output_qgis_plugin_ci.xml plugins-*.xml

According to QGIS minimum/maximum versions hardcoded in the XML (and therefore in the metadata.txt), only corresponding QGIS XML files will be edited.

For now, only plugins between 3.0 and 3.99 and without a patch QGIS version number are supported.

Read a QGIS repository

You can read an XML file :

qgis-plugin-repo read https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.10

GitHub Actions

The main purpose of this tool is to run on CI.

In the plugin repository, after QGIS-Plugin-CI :

  - name: Repository Dispatch
      uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v1
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}
        repository: organisation/repository
        event-type: merge-plugins
        client-payload: '{"name": "NAME_OF_PLUGIN", "version": "${{ env.RELEASE_VERSION }}", "url": "URL_OF_LATEST.xml"}'

Note that QGIS-Plugin-CI package or release must be been called with --create-plugin-repo because this tool will use the XML file generated.

In the main repository with a docs/plugins.xml to edit :

name: 🔀 Plugin repository
