-Heya,
-
-I couldn’t help myself thinking about plugin stuff and ended up
-whipping up a proof of concept.
-
-Here’s a <1 minute demo video:
-
-  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82149/couchdb-plugins-demo.mov
-
-Alternative encoding:
-
-  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82149/couchdb-plugins-demo.m4v)
-
-
-In my head the whole plugin idea is a very wide area, but I was so
-intrigued by the idea of getting something running with a click on a
-button in Futon. So I looked for a minimally viable plugin system.
-
-
-## Design principles
-
-It took me a day to put this all together and this was only possible
-because I took a lot of shortcuts. I believe they are all viable for a
-first iteration of a plugins system:
-
-1. Install with one click on a button in Futon (or HTTP call)
-2. Only pure Erlang plugins are allowed.
-3. The plugin author must provide a binary package for each Erlang (and,
-   later, each CouchDB version).
-4. Complete trust-based system. You trust me to not do any nasty things
-   when you click on the install button. No crypto, no nothing. Only
-   people who can commit to Futon can release new versions of plugins.
-5. Minimal user-friendlyness: won’t install plugins that don’t match
-   the current Erlang version, gives semi-sensible error messages
-   (wrapped in a HTTP 500 response :)
-6. Require a pretty strict format for binary releases.
-
-
-## Roadmap
-
-Here’s a list of things this first iterations does and doesn’t do:
-
-- Pure Erlang plugins only. No C-dependencies, no JavaScript, no nothing.
-- No C-dependencies.
-- Install a plugin via Futon (or HTTP call). Admin only.
-- A hardcoded list of plugins in Futon.
-- Loads a pre-packaged, pre-compiled .tar.gz file from a URL.
-- Only installs if Erlang version matches.
-- No security checking of binaries.
-- No identity checking of binaries.
-- Register installed plugins in the config system.
-- Make sure plugins start with the next restart of CouchDB.
-- Uninstall a plugin via Futon (or HTTP call). Admin only.
-- Show when a particular plugin is installed.
-- Only installs if CouchDB version matches.
-- Serve static web assets (for Futon/Fauxton) from `/_plugins/<name>/`.
-
-I hope you agree we can ship this with a few warnings so people can get a
-hang of it.
-
-
-A roadmap, progress and issues can be found here:
-
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=component+%3D+Plugins+AND+project+%3D+COUCHDB+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC
-
-
-
-## How it works
-
-This plugin system lives in `src/couch_plugins` and is a tiny CouchDB
-module.
-
-It exposes one new API endpoint `/_plugins` that an admin user can
-POST to.
-
-The additional Futon page lives at `/_utils/plugins.html` it is
-hardcoded.
-
-Futon (or you) post an object to `/_plugins` with four properties:
-
-    {
-      "name": "geocouch", // name of the plugin, must be unique
-      "url": "http://people.apache.org/~jan", // “base URL” for plugin releases (see below)
-      "version": "couchdb1.2.x_v0.3.0-11-g4ea0bea", // whatever version internal to the plugin
-      "checksums": {
-        "R15B03": "ZetgdHj2bY2w37buulWVf3USOZs=" // base64’d sha hash over the binary
-      }
-    }
-
-`couch_plugins` then attempts to download a .tar.gz from this
-location:
-
-    http://people.apache.org/~jan/geocouch-couchdb1.2.x_v0.3.0-12-g4ea0bea-R15B03.tar.gz
-
-It should be obvious how the URL is constructed from the POST data.
-(This url is live, feel free to play around with this tarball).
-
-Next it calculates the sha hash for the downloaded .tar.gz file and
-matches it against the correct version in the `checksums` parameter.
-
-If that succeeds, we unpack the .tar.gz file (currently in `/tmp`,
-need to find a better place for this) and adds the extracted directory
-to the Erlang code path
-(`code:add_path("/tmp/couchdb_plugins/geocouch-couchdb1.2.x_v0.3.0-12-g4ea0bea-R15B03/ebin")`)
-and loads the included application (`application:load(geocouch)`).
-
-Then it looks into the `./priv/default.d` directory that lives next to
-`ebin/` in the plugin directory for configuration `.ini` files and loads them.
-On next startup these configuration files are loaded after global defaults,
-and before any local configuration.
-
-If that all goes to plan, we report success back to the HTTP caller.
-
-That’s it! :)
-
-It’s deceptively simple, probably does a few things very wrong and
-leaves a few things open (see above).
-
-One open question I’d like an answer for is finding a good location to
-unpack & install the plugin files that isn’t `tmp`. If the answer is
-different for a pre-BigCouch/rcouch-merge and post-BigCouch/rcouch-
-merge world, I’d love to know :)
-
-
-## Code
-
-The main branch for this is 1867-feature-plugins:
-
-  ASF: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/1867-feature-plugins
-  GitHub: https://github.com/janl/couchdb/compare/apache:master...1867-feature-plugins
-
-I created a branch on GeoCouch that adds a few lines to its `Makefile`
-that shows how a binary package is built:
-
-    https://github.com/janl/geocouch/compare/couchbase:couchdb1.3.x...couchdb1.3.x-plugins
-
-
-## Build
-
-Build CouchDB as usual:
-
-    ./bootstrap
-    ./configure
-    make
-    make dev
-    ./utils/run
-
-* * *
-
-I hope you like this :) Please comment and improve heavily!
-
-Let me know if you have any questions :)
-
-If you have any criticism, please phrase it in a way that we can use
-to improve this, thanks!
-
-Best,
-Jan
