説明

It would be useful to have system-wide plugin directory, like /usr/lib/ipfs/plugins. This would allow distributions to package IPFS plugins.

This could be only enabled when building ipfs with some flag, such as PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/ipfs/plugins make build.

Issue 種別: feature
難度: 3
推定時間: 1-3 hours
活動状況: stale
明確さ: mostly clear
前提条件: Basic Go knowledgeUnderstanding of IPFS plugin systemFamiliarity with Makefile build flags
初心者向け度: 40
調査方針: The issue requests a system wide plugin directory (e.g., /usr/lib/ipfs/plugins) controlled by a build flag like PLUGIN PATH. To implement, investigate the current plugin loading mechanism in the kubo codebase, likely in files related to plugin initialization (e.g., core/commands/plugin.go or similar). Determine where plugin directories are currently configured and how to add an additional system wide path. The feature should only be enabled when built with a specific flag, so the Makefile and build system need modification. Consider discussing with maintainers about default paths and distribution packaging.
