After thinking about it for a while, I am starting to think that the best policy would be to _not_ load bundled plugins by default if they are not compulsory for the server to run. It is better to keep the server lean and sleek, and let the user activate extra plugins if they need them.
We could however facilitate the activation of plugins by shipping them in separate packages (e.g. like mariadb-connect-engine-10.0 is now) so all the user needs to do is run 'apt-get install mariadb-mroonga-search-10.0' or similar. These packages could then contain the plugin files itself, any configuration that need to be dropped in /etc/mysql/conf.d/ and potentially also install/remove scripts. What do you think, does this sound like a good policy? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
