Hosts and maintains an up-to-date plugin registry file, allowing Meshroom users to easily discover and fetch MeshroomHub plugins.

plugins.json

plugins.json lists every meshroomHub public repository that is a Meshroom plugin, along with the version Meshroom should fetch:

{
    "url": "https://github.com/meshroomHub/mrSegmentation",
    "version": "1.4.1"
}

or, for a repository with no tags:

{
    "url": "https://github.com/meshroomHub/mrHelloWorld",
    "version": "main+bbc9af0"
}

• url — the repository's GitHub URL.
• version — the repository's latest tag name, or <default-branch>+<short-sha> of its latest commit if it has no tags.

Automatic updates

.github/workflows/update-plugins.yml runs daily and regenerates plugins.json via scripts/update_plugins.py:

1. List every public repository in the meshroomHub org.
2. Keep those with a root meshroom folder, these are the Meshroom plugins.
3. For each plugin, compute its current version: its newest tag (by commit date) if it has tags, otherwise <default-branch>+<short-sha> of its latest commit.
4. Rewrite plugins.json with these current values.
5. If that changed the file, commit it and tag the commit <year>.<month>.<day>.
