That makes sense, thanks for the clarification. I think we can work that way, actually our plugin system is designed to work in such a way that the entire plugin could technically be separated into an rpm package. Probably the best way to go forward is to agree on a file location. Probably something like /usr/share/nuage/lib for unix alike systems is a better place to store the library. The actual location would need to be configured as a global setting in CloudStack and passed to the resource during initialization. However to use this type of loading i would like to make sure that a user will receive a clear error message explaining that the correct library is not installed when it tries to use it. For functional testing this introduces number of problems as only people with access to those libraries can do any kind of testing on the library or are you delivering a stub together with the functional tests so we can integrate it in the functional test stream. In short, i'm ok with this type of loading, provided: * we have a way of testing the plugin or execute functional tests against something that has access to the libraries. * the cloudstack plugin documentation makes it clear that the plugin requires an additional library. * the user receives an error message when he tries to configure the nauge plugin in cloudstack without the library. I'll take the question whether or not we need to put this plugin in the noredist build to the dev-list as i would like some more input on that. - Hugo ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
