I''ve been looking at the problem of jenkins plugins, and they seem to
fit the custom package provider model vs a set of exec scripts in a module.
It''s possible to get a list of versioned plugins that are present, and
tell the system to install new ones, either from a source string, or a version
(built from a URL), or central list of the plugins.
The major problem I see is that it requires a java jar to do it. That would
really need a set of variables from the module to connect & authenticate,
and make sure that the jar is in the right place. Not to mention that java is
installed.
FYI: The old model - the direct download of the file - is in rtyler-jenkins
& doesn''t handle dependencies. By using the internal jenkins call
to do the install, it will handle the dependency issues.
If there''s a good way to get variables to the provider plugin / or a
templated script from the catalog then I can update to a provider.
I intended to use the gem.rb as a base, since it''s farily similar in
concept and design.
Thoughts?
