Merge photo_geotagging and photoadjust

[overflorian]

Hi,
Every time I edit photos, I need both the geotagging and the photoadjust pluggin. I never used one without the other. These 2 pluggins seems to me to be really complementary.
Why not merge them into a single one? I suggest to keep photoadjust name and embed the geotagging features into it. After all, to geotag is on of the ways to adjust a picture so it makes perfect sense.
Thanks in advance guys

I tried to contact Paul Hartmann, the maintainer of the photo_geotagging plugin, but got no reply. We had the discussion whether it should be one or two plugins when I started the photoadjust pluggin. Paul was fine with both options, I decided to put my stuff in a separate plugin.

My plan is to work on the open photo_geotagging tickets first and do the merge of the two plugins as a second step. I have no preference which name to keep, so I might just flip a coin.

Is there a procedure to retire a plugin that was absorbed by other components?

Yes:
1) delete the jar file of the old plugin in plugins/dist
2) svn mv the old plugins source directory from plugins/<oldplugin> to oldplugins/<oldplugin>
3) update PluginHandler.DEPRECATED_PLUGINS: add

new DeprecatedPlugin("<oldplugin>", tr("no longer required"))
