Hi Lova,
thanks for your swift response!
That's what I expected and what seems very reasonable, considering the
potential for problems. I think we will simply publish a new version of
the old plugin to display a message to our (few) existing users and
create a "new" plugin for the new version.
That should keep surprise factor low and allow a clean cut without any
unforeseen issues.
Are we able to upload a new plugin that uses the same name as the
existing, deprecated one? Or do we have to choose a new name (or a
different name for the old one) first?
Thank you!
Cheers, Hannes

Dear Hannes,
At the moment, it's not possible to change a plugin's directory name
(package_name) even through the administration page.
This feature was previously requested with a PR, but it was closed due
to potential client-side issues. When the package_name changes, QGIS
may recognize the plugin as a new one, leading to possible
installation errors.
You can find the related PR and a more detailed discussion about it at
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/pull/271.
However, we are open to new ideas and suggestions on this matter. I
can also re-check the feature to have an updated detail about it.
Best regards,
Lova Andriarimalala

Hi there!
Wonderful people from Oslandia have started collaborating on our
experimental (and somewhat buggy) Profile Manager plugin.
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/profile-manager/
https://github.com/WhereGroup/profile-manager/
One of the changes was restructuring the repository and using a
PEP8-compliant directory name for the plugin's module directory
("profile_manager" instead of "profile-manager").
Now the automated CI/CD upload of new releases fails. Presumably
because
the site expects "profile_manager".
https://github.com/WhereGroup/profile-manager/issues/10#issuecomment-2402479699
Would it be possible to update that on the plugin's existing Plugins
repository entry?
I saw
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2024-May/066744.html
but that was only for the user visible name, the plugin's URL and the
installed directory name stayed the same.
What would it mean for existing users?
Would they simply not be notified about new releases, and have to
install the "new" plugin manually?
Or would something break and require manual intervention, e.g. two
version of the plugin being installed and loaded, one in
plugins/profile_manager and the old one in plugins/profile-manager?
Cheers, Hannes
