Nuka1195's repository for unofficial plugins and scripts with the SVN Repo Installer

First of all, this is awesome, and should somehow become part of core Xbmc. Secondly, it would be nice if it could handle checking for script updates. Third of all, should we report bugs we find with the individual plugins to http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/issues/list ?

I can't say how you should be reporting bugs, but as someone who has a few plugins there, I never ever check that issues tracker.

Your best bet in my opinion would be to search for the plugin/script's release thread and post any problems/requests/thanks there.

Tags? Cool... just a few questions though...

How exactly will this work in regards to the Repo Installer?

Will it automatically grab the "tagged" version if one exists?
Can multiple tags coexist? Will the Installer figure out which is newer?

And finally, is there a good reason for someone like me to use tags?
I do minor changes in my own SVN then commit them to xbmc-addons when I'm good and ready (and confidant they'll work as expected). What would be the benefit of using tags?

a good reason for tags is if you add a new feature that requires an upto date xbmc build. older users are stuck.

this update does nothing automatically. it just has a new repo.xml for the tags branch

this is still just a temporary installer

Developers please remove any plugins or scripts from xbmc-addons and xbmc-scripting svn's if they are not going to be maintained or if they are unfixable.

thanks

Will do.

Should platform-specific plugins be marked as such?

I personally have only tested my plugins on windows and somewhat on xbox.

nah, if they run on windows, they should run on other platforms, so let people report bugs and then fix them.
