Summary
After chatting with @Lagoja we decided to remove
packages
andmatch
from plugin schema before we release custom plugins. The reason being:packages
is poorly defined and not a great experience. It was added so we could build plugins that install custom flakes (for php, haskell, etc) and replace planners. It was renamed to__packages
and will not be externally documented. In very near future we plan on addingsuggested_packages
(final name TBD) which informs the user of any packages needed for a plugin and allows the user to install if needed.match
is designed to automatically add built-in plugins if certain packages are installed. This functionality doesn't make sense for custom plugins. This field was moved into a hardcoded map. Another benefit of removing this from schema is that we can put the plugins into the plugin github repo.cc: @Lagoja
How was it tested?
