Story #6795
Updated by mdepaulo@redhat.com over 4 years ago
The current design for this is, given a list of plugins like:
```
pulp_install_plugins:
pulp-file:
version: 0.4.0
pulp-ansible:
upgrade: true
```
To install the plugin RPM packages according to their names (the dictionary keys), names, and ignore the upgrade / version variables.
Details likely to change, depending on the needs of users & the repos: change:
1. Ignoring the upgrade / version subvariables
2. allowing for possible dashes or underscores substitution
3. Adding another subvariable for users to override the names of the plugins to install, such as:
```
pulp-ansible:
package_name: MyCoolSCL-11-pulp-ansible
```
Also, similar logic applies to the pulpcore package itself, and its vars.
Also, for dependency resolution, we should let the distro's package manager handle this. So we should probably have 1 atomic task equivalent to:
`dnf install pulpcore pulp-file pulp-ansible`
Rather than:
`dnf install pulpcore`
`dnf install pulp-file`
`dnf install pulp-ansible`
dnf would give an error if there is any dependency error at all.
