Hi Jacques,
FYI I am working on a PoC for the plugin system. The idea that I have in mind
is for each plugin to contain a task called "install". This task executes
custom logic such as applying patches or whatever is needed for the plugin to
be operational in the system.
Looking at these older tasks, I would suggest that we do not implement them,
but instead unify the process in the plugin "install" and possibly "uninstall"
tasks. Here are the reasons for my suggestions:
- First of all, these older tasks only apply patches, preparing a
test/dev/production environment involves much more than just patching. There is
database setup and other environment factors to consider. Hence the solution is
not really complete nor is it preparing the system for test/dev/production (or
doing it only partially).
- They are fragile because there is no dependency management. Thus one
component could override / conflict with other components.
- They are dependent on the version control system and external tools (patch)
which is perhaps not the best idea. We can instead deploy java-based diff
libraries or other solutions that are independent of surrounding environment.
Code so far is still a WIP but I thought I'd note it here to avoid conflicting
targets.
