Hi

This is the approach I have used, since that plasmoid is written in 
QML/Javascript using only plasmapkg with the *.plasmoid file is enough, 
but there are still some dependences missing. I was not aware about the 
issues around kde-apps.org, but it seems to be also the server used by 
KDE desktop when trying to install plasmoids from the Internet. I find 
a little strange for PA not to follow the same approach as KDE.

Bogdan
