QGIS Plugin Repository - Migrate plugins

[SPlanzer]

@SPlanzer commented on Tue Feb 11 2020

Epic Description

Plugins from LINZ's current QGIS plugin repository must be migrated to this new repository to allow users to make a seamless switch and allow for decommissioning of the old service.

Definition of Done

Plugins to be migrated are all internal plugins not stored in the official QGIS repo.
As per internal QGIS plugin confluence doc this includes:

• Feature Search
• Parcel Block
• Gazetteer
• Gazetteer Tools
• AIMS
• Roads
• Import Image
• Mapsheet Management
• Data Pipeline
• LIQA
• River Processing Provider
• NZ Buildings
• NZ Imagery Surveys

Out of scope

• Only the most current release of each plugin will be migrated.

script written to migrate plugin from a directory to repo via API

This automates what was going to be a tedious task and means it is repeatable in the future.

[SPlanzer]

the highest version of the above plugins migrated with exception of the below that do not meet QGIS metadata.txt required fields

datapipeline failed with b'{\n  "message": "Attribute \'about\' cannot be None"\n}\n'
FeatureSearch failed with b'{\n  "message": "Attribute \'about\' cannot be None"\n}\n'
geometry_copier failed with b'{\n  "message": "Attribute \'about\' cannot be None"\n}\n'
splitmultipart failed with b'{\n  "message": "Attribute \'about\' cannot be None"\n}\n' 

[SPlanzer]

Still outstanding

• Outstanding plugins from current linz plugin server (see above) that did not pass API checks
• There are old plugin repos. We may want to retain these plugins. I suggest we migrate these over and then archive them

[SPlanzer]

All plugins migrated with exception of:
#126
#122

This will be managed via their own issues
