Hi all,

some time ago we discussed about a common SVN repository for plugin authors but didn't find a concrete solution.

We decided to create a "geany-plugins" project[1] at Sourceforge. At the moment it has a Subversion repository and trackers for bug reports, feature requests and patches.

Each plugin author is welcome to use these services. To do so, you need an account at Sourceforge. You can easily register at [2]. After you successfully created an account, tell your account name me or Nick and you will write access to the SVN repository[3]. Then you can use the repository for your own plugin.

Authors using this service should subscribe to the geany-plugins-commits@uvena.de and geany-plugins-tracker@uvena.de mailing lists(see my previous post) to stay up to date with changes. General plugin discussion can happen on the normal geany@uvena.de or geany-devel@uvena.de lists.

At the moment, there are two plugins already available in the repository, instantsave and backupcopy. Feel free to use these plugins as a start for your own, maybe by copying the directory structure and the autotools files (Makefile.am, configure.in, ...). These both plugins are also ready for i18n support and have an initial German translation, just for reference.

New plugins should be imported into a new directory inside the trunk/ directory. There are also the common branches and tags directories, use them as needed, use always a subdirectory for your own plugin.

We encourage authors using this service to only commit changes to their own plugin and not to others' plugins. Instead just send patches to geany-devel@uvena.de or the plugin author directly.
