Description Jiri Kovalsky 2013-01-17 10:05:04 UTC 
Show Path In Title plugin [1] was successfully verified for NetBeans 7.1 and it was published on the 7.1 PP UC. Recently its owner uploaded new version and asked for its verification against 7.3 and 7.2 but for some reason it disappeared from the 7.1 PP UC [2]. It's true that 7.1 was marked as non-verifiable version in the meantime. We declare that uploading new binary will leave the current version of a plugin on the PPUC until the newly uploaded version gets successfully verified.

Honzo, can you please find the cause for this issue?

The plugin was manually added back to the 7.1 PP UC and the code was modified to replace the old plugin binary with a new one but only if the plugin was successfully verified before. This involves a risk of exposing a broken plugin on the PP UC but we believe it will hardly ever happen. So the scenario will be like this:

1. A plugin ABC for NetBeans 7.1 is published and verification is requested.
2. Once Plugin Verifiers approve the verification, plugin is published on the PP UC for 7.1.
3. NetBeans 7.2 is released. 7.1 is still verifiable version.
4. NetBeans 7.3 is released. 7.1 becomes not verifiable version.
5. Owner of plugin ABC uploads new binary, marks 7.3, 7.2 and 7.1 as compatible NetBeans versions and asks for 7.3 and 7.2 verifications.
6. This new binary replaces the previous binary on the PP UC 7.1 without any testing by Plugin Verifiers.
7. Once Plugin Verifiers approve the 7.2 verification, plugin ABC is published on the PP UC for 7.2 and dtto for 7.3.

Is this correct Honzo?
