Along the same lines, it would be a great help for the vm providers to include the CryptographyPlugins when they build a new vm. I believe there are 3 plugins and they really ought to be build internally, since they are unchanging.
Hi Rob,
With respect to the plugins (and I know this was discussed in earlier emails) can you please provide a link to the SqueakSource repository for the three plugins? We can add this to the VMMaker configuration map and to ConfigurationOfVMMaker so they will be easily loaded into VM development images.
Assuming no legal issues, I would expect that the plugins can be included in future VM builds without difficulty (at the discretion of the platform maintainers of course). BTW, don't worry about internal versus external, that's a packaging issue, and if there is any concern about legal issues (real or imagined) it will probably be best to make them external modules for the benefit of folks who may be concerned about such things.
Thanks, Dave
