What bothers me is that pkg-static should not even tried to load plugins so it should not return any failure, that is a bug, I'll try to see fix it. Btw I'm happy to see someone is actually using the plugin interface, I haven't spent time on it since 1.3 and happy to see that I haven't broken it :) I would like to hear more feedback about the usage of plugins, how good/bad it is, how we could improve it etc, this is the first time I'm coding a plugin interface I do not expect it so be good :) Best regards, Bapt [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlUlwMMACgkQ8kTtMUmk6EwAtwCgmN8QEW0XsK5vEnYlUQAxW9jg Vi4An1UlwYdvldfMHFX2toMk4jjnbYkc =4S/X -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
