I'm curious how package managers should best install the plugins. I currently have a gentoo ebuild that installs the plugin .so files to /usr/share/lla/plugins. I then inform users they should copy these to their home directory in the the default plugins_dir (as a package manager should not touch $HOME) . I don't think this is the best way to do this.

This is primarily due to my concern over the update process as well as mixing default and user-installed plugins.

Ideally the built in plugins should be updated at the same time as the main package, without the need to overwrite a user's $HOME each time.

One solution would be to set plugins_dir = /usr/share/lla/plugins, but this makes it hard for users to install their own plugins.

My initial suggestion is to implement something like system_plugin_dir that allows package managers to install and maintain the default plugins there, while maintaining use of user defined plugins within ~/.config/lla/plugins. Another option is changing plugins_dir to a $PATH style variable, searching several directories for plugins, one by one.
