Summary: topic/robin/plugin-updates
Key: BIT-1318
URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1318
Project: Bro Issue Tracker
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Bro
Affects Versions: git/master
Reporter: Robin Sommer
A set of improvements to Bro's support for dynamic plugins.
Branch topic/robin/plugin-updates in bro, bro-aux, cmake, and bro-plugins.
This includes primarily updates to the init-plugin helper script:
- the script now sets up the skeleton plugin so that the *build/* directory
becomes the place where the final plugin lives (rather than the top-level
source directory). BRO_PLUGIN_PATH needs to point there now. "make distclean"
simply deletes the build directory.
- the skeleton builds a binary plugin distribution in build/dist, and "make
install" uses that to put the plugin in place. The Makefile targets "bdist" and
"sdist" are gone.
- CMakeList.txt supports a new macro "bro_plugin_dist_files" to specify
additional files to include into the binary plugin distribution.
- init-plugin now takes an additional parameter with a directory where to
create the plugin.
- the "configure" script now sources a local "configure.plugin" for adding
custom options without touch the main script.
- Makefile reloads cached CMake variables when Bro has been reconfigured.
Addresses #1302.
The changes further include:
- Bro's "make install" now always creates the plugin installation directory.
- Removed setting BRO_PLUGIN_PATH from bro-path-dev.sh. Addresses #1312.
- Adapting plugin documentation to the changes.
- Adapting the three plugins aux/plugins to changes.
- Bro's "make install" removes some old scripts that have moved into plugins,
but might still exist from a previous installation.
- Plugin managers treats plugin names as case-insenstive for some internal
lookups to be a bit more tolerant in cases that could be hard to catch
otherwise.
