In thinking about upgrading a qpsmtpd installation I once again ran across
the issue that I can't just copy the plugins dir over my old one, as I have
plugins that I have modified, and my own plugins.
We got around this with config by creating config.sample/
So here's a proposal. Create a new directory plugins.usr that will be looked
in first for plugins. When you want to modify a plugin just copy it to
plugins.usr and edit it. When you create a new plugin, put it in
plugins.usr/. When you upgrade then you can just copy over everything.
Or use a good revision control system :-)
Couldn't you just as easily use my.foobar rather than foobar in your
config/plugins? That would keep the core code simpler.
