plugin system for untangle ( package installer )

[mjfahmi]

hello guys

it seems there is a great bunch off users contrebution for untangle , and there will be more also

but untangle seems to miss one great thing , a pugin system or a package installer , so users can easlly add contrebuted applications from others ,
and that contributers can maintaine and update thier contrebutions easlly

im thinking of doing some really nice contributions , but the lack of a application maneger is making it hard to contribute

i think this is what untangle 6 needs , and it will boost untangle 6 development and contribution in no time

and i hope this get a good feedback from other users

Dirk has said that there will be an SDK available soon that will provide some assistance in that area. I'm not sure when its coming, but he wouldn't say anything about it publicly unless it was a sure thing.

That will be great! Believe me... I know it will be make life easier... but it will also create a problem for Untangle folks, they won't be able to give support to their clients if the client installed any third-party app/script.

That is very true. My experience has been that callers will not necessarily tell you where they tweaked something, and you find out 15 minutes into a call (if you're lucky).
