Currently, all repositories are refreshed when opening the plugin manager. There could be a cache and a "refresh interval option".
There are problems with "lonely ampersands".
def _fix_metadata(metadata):
"Fix lonely ampersands in metadata"
a = _QByteArray()
a.append("& ")
b = _QByteArray()
b.append("& ")
return metadata.replace(a, b)Are people using interpolation?

If activated, it is causing issues in some cases (e.g. tuflow.3.0.4.zip).
Some folks use plugin_dependencies for Python package dependencies, e.g.
- go_to_xyz.0.2.zip: ('mercantile',)
- geodatafarm.2.6.0.zip: ('matplotlib', ' reportlab')
How should this be handled?
This plugin should not only be packaged as as QGIS plugin but also stand-alone as wheel and conda package. How does a reasonable project / directory structure look like?
Use coverage (through API).
- test run against plugin database while comparing against
python/pyplugin_installer/version_compare.py - fuzzing
Are commas valid version element delimiters?
How do I determine the version of QGIS by looking at the files in its installation folder (i.e. NOT by running QGIS and/or importing qgis in Python)?
How can I use images / resources from QGIS? Import them into source tree or attach to QGIS API?
Should the manager also work in CLI mode (for server use)?
