Hi Hannes and Lova,Thanks for asking and answering. We will proceed as recommended. It might be worth adding a relevant section in the plugins developer documentation or cookbook.
To follow up about the naming convention, as written in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/issues/475 I would suggest to make sure that new plugins folders are Python compliant since a plugin is a Python package and may be imported by other "Python things" within QGIS.

Dear Hannes, Sure, I think that's a great idea.I think it's better to rename the old plugin first if you want to keep the same name for the new one, as uploading a new plugin with an existing name is not allowed. Please, feel free to let me know if you need help with this. It's also possible to update the name from the metadata, although this option is disabled by default.Best regards, Lova Andriarimalala *QGIS Full Stack Developer **T *: +27(0) 87 809 2702 *E *:**l...@kartoza.com *W* : kartoza.com <http://kartoza.com>/This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

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!

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.

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?
