i'm packaging josm (OpenStreetMap Editor). There are many useful
plugins for josm, and i started packaging some of them, too. While
testing i noticed that josm now has a function to automatically
download plugins. I'm wondering if it makes sense then to package
them. Could you please advice?
I believe it make sense to have the plugins installed for all the
users on a system to use, instead of storing them in each users home
directory.
Storing the plugins system wide still gives the user the possibility
to use josm's download/update functionality. I worry that this could
lead to some problems due to plugin incompatibility, version conflicts,
etc.
Removing the download code might be an option. Do you think this
would be an unnecessary change to the original src and we should
rather try it the way it is, shipping an josm-plugins package _and
leaving josm's dl function intact?
Sorry if i'm asking silly questions for maybe obvious answers, i need
to learn here :)
I see from URL:http://bugs.debian.org/385371 that you believe the
Btw, is the license incompatibility issue with josm can be solved.
This is good news.
Indeed.
