etc. Most of these are not intended for production use, and are fairly
unusable "as is". I can see us building them as part of the build
process, but I really don't think we should include them in the "make
install" target.
Thoughts?
+1.
We should have separate make examples target
(with eventual install-examples)
Yeah, that would be my preference too.
Also are those just examples or "plugins".
If they are plugins they should be rather installed in libexec thought
They are plugins, and *if* we should install them, they should go in
libexec. My reason for not wanting them installed (by default at least)
is for two reasons:
1) It might encourage OS distros to include them in package
distributions, thinking they are production plugins.
2) Users might think they are production plugins.
We do have a set of useful production plugins coming out of Y! into the
OpenSource soon, but they will not go into the "examples" area. The
examples are there to illustrate the Ink APIs, as documented in the
developer documentation.
That much said, there might be one or two plugins in the examples
directory that ought to get moved over to the "official" plugin
directory. I know Steve wrote a little Remap Plugin that I think could
be useful for users, and it is currently in the examples directory.
