Naming of the plugins-builtin to be used with distro packages

[aj4ayushjain]

This is for naming convention problem of the plugins which are to be used with the distro packages to provide the path to prebuilt binaries as provided by the system package.

Reference :-#1580

As we discussed in chat
@aj4ayushjain -The distro package plugins i do have created has the same name so they overwrite the existing one's or which ever executes last according to build-plugins.sh script only exists --->so need to segregate them.

@pombredanne -the package names could be different I think, as long as they provide a path alright?

@aj4ayushjain -The package name have to be same because debian package uses the internally the setup.py as reference for the required packages check after taking the required dependencies from user while packaging .(my understanding)
and this error it shows : http://dpaste.com/10RW2CA

(couldn't technically know the working but that's only the issue).

@pombredanne -this error is because the package is not installed.
also the package name may be the same but we have different tags and therefore different built file names?

[aj4ayushjain]

No i we have the same tags as well this is causing the issue .
But what we can change in tags to make it different?

[pombredanne]

@aj4ayushjain what does the deb contain for extractcode-7z ?

[aj4ayushjain]

The deb only contains the installed plugins dir without any binaries.

[pombredanne]

But is extractcode-7z in it? can you paste a listing of the plugins?

[aj4ayushjain]

Ya i got it now the plugins name can be different inside along with tag remaining the same as the module which is inside src/ dir name remains the same so it satisfies and works as intended and it is not overwritten!
Thanks for the help.

@aj4ayushjain 👍
I knew there should be a way out!
