The original idea is to provide a way to build plugin that are<br>
compatible with few releases. It makes sense to me, cause it looks<br>
awful if you need to maintain different branches for different Fuel<br>
releases and there's no difference in the sources. In that case, each<br>
bugfix to deployment scripts requires:<br>
<br>
* backport bugfix to other branches (N backports)<br>
* build new packages for supported releases (N builds)<br>
* release new packages (N releases)<br>
<br>
It's somehow.. annoying.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>A big +1 on Igor's remark.

However, I starting agree that having all-in-one RPM when deployment<br>
scripts are different, tasks are different, roles/volumes are<br>
different, probably isn't a good idea. It basically means that your<br>
sources are completely different, and that means you have different<br>
implementations of the same plugin. In that case, in order to avoid<br>
mess in source tree, it'd be better to separate such implementations<br>
on VCS level.<br>
<br>
But I'd like to hear more opinion from plugin developers.<br>
