Plugin auto-update is implemented and apparently working. More could be done to improve it, of course, but it looks like it should be sufficient for plugin updates to be released and deployed without having to deploy a new fred build to force them. New builds are distributed through USKs, just as with fred builds, and when they are downloaded, fred asks the user whether they want to update the plugin. If they say yes, we do a final check of the revocation key and then deploy the new version of the plugin.
This should be enough for us to deploy WoT, Freetalk, and FlogHelper (and maybe more things e.g. digger3's IRC work?) as semi-official plugins, not bundled, marked as beta, but downloadable through the plugins page. Is it? (When) should I deploy these plugins? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
