Is there a way to ask the question:
What directory do I use to install a DNF plugin?
Because it seems to change in every fedora release, and so far the only way I can find it is to run dnf under strace and see where it looks for plugins :-).
There wouldn't happen to be a release independent directory like /etc/dnf/plugins or something that won't constantly change on me?
You can define it in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf's "pluginpath" directive. AFAIK, in the absence of such a directive, it's based on a python version- specific directory and will change when Python changes. Generally it's going to be
/usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages/dnf-plugins
On my F23 updated systems, I'm running Python 3.4, so the path is
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/dnf-plugins
