Issue Summary
This would be a major advancement in the user improvement drive for D7.
If this module gets ported early, then there's a good chance of seeing it in the core version of D7 :-)
Perhaps the drush and drush ui developers could get onboard.
What do you think?

Ok, let's go! Patch attached is for D7 with allready a few fixes, needs more love still though. I'm willing to work on this more and I'm pretty sure yoroy and Bohjan will help along improving the UI, and chx and other helping to move this in core if accepted.

So far, I got this error on install:
"Notice: Use of undefined constant REQUIREMENT_WARNING - assumed 'REQUIREMENT_WARNING' in update_requirements() (line 202 of /var/www/7/modules/update/update.module)."
And this when I 'checked up for updates':
" * Notice: Use of undefined constant REQUIREMENT_ERROR - assumed 'REQUIREMENT_ERROR' in _update_requirement_check() (line 241 of /var/www/7/modules/update/update.module).
* Notice: Use of undefined constant REQUIREMENT_WARNING - assumed 'REQUIREMENT_WARNING' in _update_requirement_check() (line 260 of /var/www/7/modules/update/update.module)."

Yeah, I got that too, still looking into it why it happens, it should only appear on install though, rest should work fine.
#4
Marking needs review (and subscribing ;)).
#5
I'm pleasantly surprised how many modules and themes are available!
I'm setting up libssh2 in php so I can actually install them.

Subscribing. Interesting and exciting stuff! :)
#8
Subcribing for now. Here's how it looks right now:
#9
Update patch, changes:
- DBTNG
- Introduced hook_backend_plugin so other modules can write their own backend, plugin_manager being the first of course.
- t() in every drupal_set_message
- moved form_alter to .module file
- fix of notices on admin/build/modules page
Still needs work but in the meantime, have fun :)

Btw, it would be cool if someone could test it on windows with the Archive tar packages from PEAR (http://pear.php.net/package/Archive_Tar).
Haven't look at the license yet, but maybe it might be possible to ship that along with this package.

A branch as been added for Drupal 7.
#13
All that's left is a release.

I was under the impression this will be in D7 core, but it only has an install by url feature, so this module will be a must :)
#15
I definitely want to see this hit 7.x, but since the 6.2 branch is under the heaviest of development, it might be best to wait until it calms a little so that 6.2 can be ported directly.
#16
http://www.unleashedmind.com/en/blog/sun/more-than-50-drupal-modules-mov... says this is incorporated into Drupal 7. Is that correct?
#17
Yep! Please see attached screenshot to see how it's done in d7. I am not using the 6.x version of this module in my installations, so please check to see if there are any missing features. If there are, please re-open this issue.
#18
@the maintainers: Joshua, Khalid if this is the case, please update the modules page and provide a link to this issue for people to see. Thanx
#19
@klonos: those are only update screens.
Plugin Manager for D6 has a fantastic module browser and installer...
#20
I'll check that out, but did you see the 3rd screenie from my post in #17? That shows installation of new modules/themes.
#21
I'm confused. Looks like there was an attempt to fully integrate this module into D7 core, but it was forgotten? See:
#22
Ok, it is partially in core then. See related Upgrade status issue (it will be handled as such): #903060: Better handling for partially in core cases
I guess it was forgotten/postponed then, but the two first parts that are fixed are the most important ones IMHO. Does the 6.x version support the two last parts/features though?
#23
Per webchick, parts 3 & 4 are too late for D7. So looks like much of Plugin Manager remains valid as contrib for D7.
#24
...I guess so, but are parts 3 & 4 implemented in the 6.x branch?
#25
See http://www.bojhan.nl/module-theme-browser-interface - it looks like someone started to write a different version of this for D7 (but on Github only).
Maybe it would be good to join forces and have one awesome module for browsing themes/modules in D7? (The effort here are presumably further along than that one, since Plugin Manager has been around a while, although I haven't checked. There are some interesting new designs posted there, though.)

[Edit: 20-Mar-2011] There is some D7 compatible sandbox code related to #25
