#2460: Build a plugin architecture
-------------------------+-------------------
Reporter: dustin | Owner:
Type: project-idea | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: 0.9.+
Version: 0.8.7p1 | Keywords:
-------------------------+-------------------
It should be possible for users to add extra functionality to Buildbot by
installing additional packages from pypi. The extra functionality should
include
* change sources
* build steps
* status plugins
* web UI components
The setuptools entry-points support can help here.
Once this is complete, long-term unmaintained code currently distributed
with Buildbot should be moved to external projects (still in the Buildbot
github organization) where it can be maintained - or not - by its users.
We should produce simple "hello-world" templates for each type of plugin,
so that users have somewhere to start.
== scope ==
This project will involve understanding how Python packages are built,
tested, documented, and distributed.
