Each module (written in bash) corresponds to a different sharing site. The modules are downloaded via plowmod, from a oficial repository provided by upstream. But, the users can install a module provided by another user, if they want to. The modules are updated constantly and it is difficult to update the package at the same pace. So, providing a core package and let the users to update the modules is a better idea in my opinion. The modules are installed under ~/.config/plowshare/modules.d/<br></div><div style="font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-size:14px">Jason, thanks! I could package the modules. But this is not a good ideia as explained above. The package will be quickly outdated. Perharps, before I mark it as stable. However, if necessary, I will submit a review request to a new package, that will contain the modules.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 1:52 PM, Jason L Tibbitts III <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tibbs@math.uh.edu" target="_blank">tibbs@math.uh.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">>>>>> "EM" == Elder Marco <<a href="mailto:eldermarco@gmail.com">eldermarco@gmail.com</a>> writes:<br>

Well, look at how clamav does it. The package provides a snapshot of<br>
the virus data so that we can ship _something_. This will be updated<br>
when freshclam runs.<br>

<br>
Personally, I would still ship a module package, but for that to work,<br>
the software has to have a mechanism for local downloads to override<br>
system-provided modules.<br>
