I have a repo question:
If i add another plugin to my update repository.
do all the password of my repo have to manually update to latest repo ?
or does the new updated checksum get updated to all automatically ?

this is controlled through addons.xml.md5. if that changes, the repo listing is updated at the client end (at intervals), and then users will see your new plugin just fine.
edit: addons.xml.md5 is a placeholder, i should be more precise. it's controlled by the file you specify in the <checksum> tag in your repository definition.

i understand addons.xml.md5
so i assume i can add another plugin to my repository by adding it inside addons.xml
and then run the addons_xml_generator.xml
Then the new plugin will be available through my existing repository.
so all in all i can confirm that this will not impact my repository version by adding a new plugin to my repo.
Thank you

the repo version should only be bumped if you update the *repository* definition.

yes, that's basically what the repo generator does. but it also (should, never checked if it actually does) check for icons, fanart and changelog and inject <no[icon|fanart|changelog]> tags into the metadata tag. these are used to avoid hitting server looking for nonexistent files.
