Jack, Jack Hill 写道：
I think a good way forward would be to work with upstreams to have their applications support an APPNAME_PLUGIN_PATH variable and when plugins are present in a profile they would augment that variable.
I agree. Many packages already do this & it jives nicely with our native-search-paths feature.
Two random lessons from previous experience with (well-meaning) upstreams:
1. Ensure that it's a search path (in the GNU sense of the word), a standard colon-separated one if at all possible, not just a single directory. 2a. Ensure that this environment variable can't be too easily (=accidentally) masked by a user preference, and 2b. don't use it as a 'default value' to initialise a preference that will later be saved to disc, because that's how we end up with weird bugs.
Thanks for taking charge of this, T G-R
