Re: [packer] How to contribute post-processor

2016-09-19 Thread Rickard von Essen 
Ok, you have two options 1) Distribute it as a standalone packer plugin, 2) 
contribute it to the packer core plugins. 

First some general info about the plugin system can be found here 
. It's slightly outdated, 
first all core packer plugins are now bundled in one binary *packer* and 
there are no separate binary for say *packer-builder-amazon-ebs *anymore. 
And *command *plugins are not supported any longer.

1) You can maintain your own repo with the code for your repo and 
instructions to build/download it. For an old example see packer-parallels 
. 
The benefit is that you regain full control. The drawback is that less 
users will find it and there is a extra installation step. Currently there 
are no official list of 3pp plugins, but it have been talked about.

2) Open a PR to packer . Almost 
everything in packer is a plugin, core plugins are distributed with packer 
and now built in to a single binary. If your plugin is general and target 
AWS I think it's at least a good candidate for a review of inclusion into 
the packer core plugins.

Re: [packer] How to contribute post-processor

Hi Rickard,,
Thanks. I should have been more specific in my question. I've read the 
CONTRIBUTING.md which only talks about contributing changes the Packer 
source itself. My understanding that developing plug-ins (which is how I've 
implemented by post-processor) is the preferred method rather than 
submitting changes to the packer source. Do I just check me code into my 
own github account or is there something like a central "packer" github for 
publishing "plug-ins"?

Hi Scott,

The best way is to read CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo and open a pull
request.

Looking forward to it.
