Update QGIS plugins

[kalxas]

QGIS plugins from OSGeoLive 13.0 are still used.

Is there a volunteer to make a new bundle?

[sanak]

Will the timing be final release at this September ?

Thank you. Yes, we just need someone to upgrade the plugins and create a new bundle file:

Okay, thanks for confirmation.

I will try to create a new bundle file and upload it to somewhere I can access by tomorrow.

This work was a bit harder than I expected.

1. When I upgrade all upgradable plugins, new plugin versions went to /home/user/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/ (From QGIS Settings/User Profiles/Open Active Profile Folder menu).
2. I deleted upgraded old plugins from /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/ , then moved above user folder's plugins to there.
3. To generate python cache, I changed /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins folder's owner by executing as follows.

   $ cd /usr/share/qgis/python
   $ sudo chown -R user:users plugins
   

4. Check on/off each plugin from QGIS Plugin Manager.
5. Only "Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin" failed when checking on the plugin from QGIS Plugin Manager, and it seems to support only from user profile folder, so I deleted it.
6. Close QGIS, then archive the plugins folder by executing as follows.

   $ cd /
   $ sudo zip -r qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip usr/share/qgis/python/plugins
   

7. Deleted current plugins folder once, then extracted it from zipped archive from same folder in /bin/install_qgis.sh

   $ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins
   $ sudo mkdir -p /tmp/build_qgis
   $ cd /tmp/build_qgis
   $ sudo mv /qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip ./
   $ sudo unzip -q qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip -d /
   

8. Launch QGIS and check on/off each plugin from QGIS Plugin Manager.

The unzipped size increases from 49.2MB to 92.1MB (almost double), so please take care to fit in ISO size.

The zip file can be downloaded from here.

Okay, thanks!

And sorry that I missed to include the following core plugins in the zip file...
​https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/user_manual/plugins/core_plugins/index.html

• db_manager
• grassprovider
• MetaSearch
• otbprovider
• processing
• sagaprovider

I deleted above folders from the zip file and uploaded it to the same Google Drive location,

• ​https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZyyypENRaeu6HgcjDdcQuCRVxyaPu0il?usp=sharing
  • qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip

so, could you (or someone) download it and overwrite ​​http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/data/qgis/qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip with it ?

I will prepare GitHub PR side, later.

[kalxas]

Done

[sanak]

Okay, thanks!

I will create PR, soon.

[sanak]

I created the PR at here.
​https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/354

Note that I haven't tested it with image build...

[sanak]

Sorry, again.

After building ISO locally, I noticed that upgraded plugins are not available and I missed to set folders/files mode properly...

I will fix the zip archive's folders/files mode.

[sanak]

I the zip archive's permission mode of folders/files from the zip file and uploaded it to the same Google Drive location, again.

• ​https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZyyypENRaeu6HgcjDdcQuCRVxyaPu0il?usp=sharing
  • qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip

It is helpful to download it and overwrite ​​http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/data/qgis/qgis3-osgeolive15-plugins.zip with it, again.

[kalxas]

Thank you, new file uploaded

[sanak]

Thanks!

I confirmed that new zip archive has no problem (at least check on/off on Plugin Manager) after building ISO image and check it locally.
