Package: dokuwiki
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

One of Dokuwiki's greatest advantages is its plugin system and the wide variety
of plugins.

On Debian, plugins are currently installed on /usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins.
Administrators can manually install plugins there, but, at least for me, it is
a litle frightening, as I think /usr/share is ususally managed by the package
system and not by the administrator, I think. So installing a plugin there make
me worry that, one day, an upgrade of the package dokuwiki could decide to
remove it.

I think it would be better to have the plugin directory under /var/lib, for
instance /var/lib/dokuwiki/plugins, symlinked on /usr/share/dokuwiki.

Another solution would be to also search for plugins somewhere under
/usr/local/share, but that would require a patch against Dokuwiki's code.

Do you think moving the plugin directory would be a good idea? I can offer a
patch for the first solution, or look inside Dokuwiki to see if the second
solution is not too hard to implement.

Librement,
