Pier-Hugues Pellerin 48bfff31db Create a virtual gem to handler the plugin dependency on core ... We have decided to create a gem that the plugins can depend on to make sure they use the correct core, with that in mind this will reduce the mass update required when releasing a major release of logstash if the contract between logstash and the plugin didnt change. The first version of this gem act as a virtual gem, future release will include the actual plugins code of the contract. This gem should follow the same convention as semver, a breaking change in the api will mean a bump in the major version. Plugins author are encouraged to test their plugins with a specific version of the contract and define their dependency as the following: ``` s.add_runtime_dependency "logstash-core-plugin-api", "~> 2.0" ``` This PR also introduce rake task to help managing this gem, since every release of logstash will produce a new version of this gem with the minor version bump. A **logstash-core-plugin-api** will declare a strict dependency on a specific **logstash-core** version, like this: ``` s.add_runtime_dependency "logstash-core", "2.3.0" ``` On the other hand each release of logtash will also declare a strict dependency on a specific version of the `logstash-core-plugin-api` gem. ref #4829 Fixes #4866		2016-03-23 20:09:32 +00:00
