Created attachment 191567 [details] [review] Bug 41651: Allow plugins do specify dependencies, abort installation if unmet This approach uses a new $metadata key, to minimize the scope of changes needed. The downside of that is the fact that if the base plugin package requires those dependencies in compile-time already, the code (and thus metadata itself) will fail to load in an unhandled way. plugins-upload.pl can't know for sure whether it's really the plugin being installed that doesn't have its dependencies met, which is a limitation to how it currently works. |
