Description

I'm doing maintenance of rt_omero plugin: http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/rt_omero/
and I backported some features to 1.8 version of the plugin
code is here: https://github.com/faunalia/rt_omero/tree/master (master is the 1.8 version and 2.0 is for actual qgis)

after packaged the plugin (you can recreate the package usign "make package") I uploaded the plugin but result this errors

1) "There were errors reading plugin package (please check also your plugin's metadata).
The 'experimental' flag in the form does not match the 'experimental' flag in the plugins package metadata."

but Experimental is not set and it's False in metadata.txt

2) if I change in metadata.txt setting experimenta to True I've this error
"There were errors reading plugin package (please check also your plugin's metadata).
The 'experimental' flag in the form does not match the 'experimental' flag in the plugins package metadata."

I'm uploading 1.1.2 version (as stated in metadata.txt) but there's no 1.1.2 version

The problem could be related to this facts

A) One hour ago I uploaded a 1.3.1 version for the actual qgis version... it is experimental

p.s. choosing a category I can't fild one related to web site or web plugin management

Status changed from Open to Closed

As the error message says, you are uploading an experimental plugin version (experimental=True in metadata.txt) but you left unchecked the Experimental checkbox in the upload form (a checkbox is like a boolean field, checked=True, unchecked=False).

I don't understand what was not clear in the error message, suggestions welcome to make it more clear.
