Hi! Over the past two weeks, I've been working on providing some basic handling of dependencies and 'about' information for plugins. Esp. concerning dependencies, there is certainly room for further improvements, but I think for the moment, this should cover the most important bits.
Not all of this is all new, as Meik had already blueprinted a syntax for specifying dependencies and 'about' data. But I have made a few changes while working on the implementation, and added some bits here and there. You can read up on everything at http://rkward.sourceforge.net/documents/devel/plugins/chapter_dependencies.html and the following chapter. As a quick reference for what will need to be covered in rkwarddev: - <dependencies> is a direct child of <document>, not of <about>. It can also be specified per <component> - <require> gains a new parameter "map", for including plugin maps from different packages - new element <dependency_check> for providing more compatiblity inside plugins Also, somewhat unrelated, but not entirely so: - new parameter "priority" in the <document> element of .pluginmap files. Controls whether newly installed pluginmaps will be activated by default. And another hint: - Contrary to what the documentation may have suggested, before, it is a good idea to set the "namespace" of .pluginmaps to something unique, instead of "rkward". At least, if you want to make it possbile for others to <require> your .pluginmaps. Regards Thomas
