Volumio 3 Plugins store issues and discussion

Hi again,

I have a question of general interest. Some time ago, I suggested to add an update.sh script to the plugin framework…

Volumio 3 RC1 - Open Beta Testing

Hi, I have some proposals for the brand new plugin framework of Volumio 3: During plugin generation, add an ‘update.sh’ file that works much like ‘install.sh’ when the respective commands ‘volumio plugin install/update’ are called, including sudo permission. The output of ‘volumio plugin’ commands is messy when they are launched from a terminal. Add an option such as --terminal or -t that provides a suitable output for the terminal screen When ‘volumio plugin’ commands are launched from the t…

Volumio 3 RC1 - Open Beta Testing

@carlito_s very very nice suggestions! Thanks! Wel’ll do

The logic behind this request is very simple: if you have install.sh and uninstall.sh scripts able to perform tasks with sudo permissions, it is likely that also the update process needs that same feature!

I’m asking because I want to know if you plan to add an update.sh script to the plugin infrastructure or if I have to set up a custom mechanism to update my Minosse DSP plugin.

Thanks
