<p>Save time setting up new sites by automatically downloading groups of plugins. Add new plugins by adding the slug from the plugin’s url in the WordPress plugin directory. For instance, the plugin “All In One SEO Pack” is listed here: <code>https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/</code>. Add “All In One SEO Pack” to an installation profile by adding <code>all-in-one-seo-pack</code> in the plugins field (one plugin per line).</p>
<p>WP Install Profiles (WPIP) allows users to define groups of plugins, called profiles. Once a profile has been entered, WPIP calls to the WordPress Plugin Directory, downloads the plugin files and unzips them to the site’s plugins folder. Additionally, WPIP saves the profile in a downloadable format, so you can upload it to your next site and download the same plugins with a single click.</p>
<p>Store your profiles online at http://plugins.ancillaryfactory.com and import them easily into all of your WordPress installs. <a href="http://plugins.ancillaryfactory.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more and create an account</a></p>

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h4>Required PHP libraries</h4>
<ul>
<li>SimpleXML</li>
<li>ZipArchive</li>
</ul>
<p>These libraries are installed by default on most shared hosting accounts, but they may need to be installed manually if your site is hosted by certain providers, including Media Temple.</p>
<h4>File Permissions</h4>
<p>If you are unable to save or import profiles, you may need to set <code>wp-content/plugins/install-profiles/profiles</code> to 777.</p>

<p>Have you ever needed to upgrade a plugin to it’s latest (unreleased) version?<br />
With SVN Updater you get a new action (Trunk) on the Plugins page.</p>
<p>Development of this plugin is done <a href="https://github.com/szepeviktor/svn-updater" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>.<br />
Pull requests are welcome.</p>


SVN Updater

Works well for such a simple plugin.
WordPress is lacking in a good way to phase users in to major plugin updates. (either you manually install from trunk, or get a surprise as soon as the stable tag changes)
I'd love to see this worked into a more fully fledged "beta tester" plugin that hooks into auto-updates when the dev version is bumped.



Just what I needed

Install any WordPress.org plugin's trunk version from SVN.
