From c17a386b6afe608086aa4d260e29662865680b7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Alex=20Benn=C3=A9e?= Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2020 12:27:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] plugins: move the more involved plugins to contrib MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We have an exploding complexity problem in the testing so lets just move the more involved plugins into contrib. tests/plugins still exist for the basic plugins that exercise the API. We restore the old pre-meson style Makefile for contrib as it also doubles as a guide for out-of-tree plugin builds. While we are at it add some examples to the documentation and a specific plugins build target.
