Plugins should be listed in info file

Yeah I'm not sure why either. Fixed with http://drupalcode.org/project/feeds.git/commit/fc45a19 - maybe that helps fix an occasional odd bug.

Any reason it is no longer in the code? It causes the same issues again: http://drupalcode.org/project/feeds.git/blob/refs/heads/7.x-2.x:/feeds.info

Dave's commit was reversed in commit d350c4515cd31dc93cdc42f18e532f4ba1f2ed9f from issue #1347894: Clear cache causes integrity constraint violation.

This issue prevented registry rebuild from completing successfully for me.

I was against the reference fix to begin with. The bug was in CTools and should be fixed.

Not sure. If the problem is in ctools, then why this issue is still in the Feeds queue? #1169986: Fatal error: Class 'FeedsPlugin' not found

It is a bad practice to make the life harder for users while there is no fix yet, while there was a working workaround committed, so I strongly disagree with marking this issue as fixed.

Please read the reasoning starting from here: http://drupal.org/node/1169986#comment-6929730

I was refering to #1347894: Clear cache causes integrity constraint violation. That issue removed the plugins from the info file as a workaround for a bug in CTools. The bug in CTools was fixed, so I have added the plugins back into the info file. It is only a temporary fix.

Thank you!
