Size doesn't matter, even if you'd install all known plugins it would use only a small amount of diskspace. Most of all, as Josep mentioned, this way the plugins would be upgradable too when moving to a new debian release. If the user would like to free up diskspace, deleting some plugins is a trivial task, but would apt be able to notice the deletions and act appropiately when upgrading?Depends on what you think is appropriate: apt (or rather, dpkg) will simply restore the deleted files on upgrade (it cannot know which ones were deleted intentionally).
I guess dpkg's behavior is something users should be able to live with, since the plugins are small in size. I think it comes down to selecting a set of good, actively maintained plugins, without to many duplicates in function. Maybe some grouping on use like general interface & mail functionality enhancements (like extra buttons, sievegui), groupware/calander and security/admin.
As plugins are only exposed when enabled by the admin in some way via aconfig option in /etc/squirrelmail, I too feel this would be the best solution if we were to package the plugins ourselves. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar Jeroen@wolffelaar.nl (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.orgwith a subject of "unsubscribe".
