Bug ID: 12805
Summary: Proposed changes to Koha plugins system (.KPZ)
structure
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: In Discussion
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Tools
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
QA Contact: [email protected]
In present scenario, the <pluginsdir> as per git install is located at
/var/lib/plugins and per the Koha manual should be set up at
/var/lib/koha/plugin.
That makes it a shared directory, and a problem with multi-tenanted
installations. Removable of the plugin by Client A, results in it being removed
for everyone else. Same goes for installation of new plugins. These may not
have been vetted or required by other clients / sites sharing the installation.
Further, while the git based dev installation and the tarball installation have
the <pluginsdir> defined in their respective 'skel' structures, this is missing
the .deb packages.
So, I propose the following changes:
1) move <pluginsdir> to a site-specific directory i.e.
/var/lib/koha/<site>/plugins
Rationale:
(a) allow for security-vetted and need-based plugin upload and segregation;
(b) "UseKohaPlugins" is classed under site-specific "Enhanced Content"
sysprefs;
(c) allow for easy resolution of AssignUserId apache directive in case of git
installs (on a git install, .kpz uploads failed by default, citing apache
doesn't own the directory);
2) add a 'koha-enable-plugins' shell script as part of the command-line tools.
Since, the plugins module was primarily Kyle's baby, I would like to hear back
from him and others on this, before proceeding.
thanks
