This program is intended to be used as a <runner> for another zero install feed, e.g:
<command name="run">
<runner interface="http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/zeroinstall-plugin-manager.xml">
<arg>http://example.com/your-feed.xml</arg>
</runner>
</command>
<command name="core" path="my-program-executable"/>
It manages a user-specific list of feed URIs ("plugins"), and launches the desired URL (this must be the first argument) with those URIs as additional dependencies.
By default, zeroinstall-plugin-manager will launch your feed's core command while adding all current plugins as dependencies (it can't use run, as that would cause infinite recursion in the typical case).
zeroinstall-plugin-manager will consume all options that start with "--plugin-". If you need to prevent this, it will stop at the first argument equal to "--".
Options to zeroinstall-plugin-manager are:
--plugin-add URI Add a plugin by URI
--plugin-remove URI Remove a plugin by URI
--plugin-list List current plugins
--plugin-opt OPT Pass OPT through to the 0launch
command (e.g '--gui')
--plugin-command CMD Run CMD command instead of 'core'
(can be specified multiple times)
--plugin-help You're reading it!
If you don't like those options, feel free to simply depend upon this feed, then import zeroinstall_plugin_manager.Config yourself and have at it.
