Automated release packages should support including custom plugins in the package

[miyauchi]

Japanese package is including custom plugin wp-multibyte-patch, so Japanese translation team has to release new version manually.

I guess some localized package want to add fonts or other customizing via including custom plugin like Japanese package.

No, as mentioned on the handbook page:

If all you have is a license, readme, and wp-config-sample.php (or no custom changes at all), everything will be automated for you

If the request is to include custom plugins in packages then this needs to be a meta.trac ticket since it affects the build task. But if the question is whether parts of the plugin should/can be included in core, the ticket would be at the right place but the summary/description needs a change.

Thanks for reply.

But if the question is whether parts of the plugin should/can be included in core, the ticket would be at the right place but the summary/description needs a change.

I am thinking some parts of the wp-multibyte-patch plugin can be included in core, but first of all, my request is to include custom plugins in automated release packages, for now.
So, I would close this and create a new ticket at meta.track.

Thanks :)
