I've just taken a [not very attentive] look at the config of the
bot we use in
our network and I think that there are 2 places where you can do modifications:
a) It has the following lines in the conf:
[snip]
So you can ship a default /etc/sysconfig/supybot.conf /
etc/default/supybot.conf
/ whatever name you have for the default (eventually generated by you with the
wizard) which does not try to load missing plugins
Most people probably use
supybot-wizard to generate their configuration (this
script asks them specific information, such as bot nickname, server, and
password. It also creates the appropriate directories for a Supybot
instance). It might turn out to be harder for the user to have to manually do
a lot of this, including finding and hand-editing the default config.
b) the wizard seems to enumerate the plugins, based on the directory
name. So no
directory -> no plugin to be configured -> no plugin in the conf file
I could
do this, but my original justification for not doing so was so that
users that chose to install the old PySQLite would still have these plugins
available to them. Is there any sort of packaging policy on how these kind of
"optional" dependencies should be handled?
