[Bug 5623] New: Implement versioning of plugins
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5623
Summary: Implement versioning of plugins
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Libraries
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: spamassassin@dostech.ca
Implement a way for:
- plugins to declare their own version number
- config code to check for a version of the plugin -- "ifpluginversion"
This will allow for third party rules and plugins to be distributed
independently of each other while allowing (in the rules) for the presence or
absence of features added to or removed from the required plugin.

Sure, but fwiw, I would call it "noloadplugin" since you want to not load
something. You can't unload the plugin afterall. :)
Feels like the type of thing that should have an RFE ticket open about it.

I like this idea. Also, while we're thinking about it in the code, I
wanted to revisit unloadplugin. Its been awhile since I messed with the
config code but I think we load plugins right away on loadplugin. What
if during .pre parsing we didn't load right away, but waited until all
the .pre files had been read and then loaded. Then an unloadplugin
would cause a pluging to not be loaded.
I'd propose that unload takes precedence over load so in the case of
parsing several files order wouldn't matter.
Just a thought. Who knows maybe I'll actually get some time to work on
it myself one of these days. However, if someone happens to be digging
around in that part of the code I wouldn't mind seeing it.

thinking about this -- it might be better to define a way for plugins to set
"variables" that the "if" keyword can test. e.g. a new version of ReplaceRules
could set "replace_supports_replace_foo" if it adds a new "replace_foo" keyword,
allowing
if (defined(replace_supports_replace_foo))
replace_foo bar
replace_foo baz
endif
