doc/todo/location_of_external_plugins.mdwn



Would it be possible to make the installation location for the external plugins (those talked to via xmlrpc) configurable? Currently, they are installed into (and later expected to be in) /usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins. For the Fedora package (which I maintain), I move them to /usr/libexec/ikiwiki/plugins. While not covered by the FHS, this seems to be a more appropriate place, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Libexecdir.
As a side note, the accompanying proxy.py might better be placed into some directory on the python path.
