Cryptography: plugins

The Cryptography package (at one point) contained the following classes
which extend "plugin" related classes which are not part of the typical
squeak image btw, typical = used by me :-)

DESPlugin (subclass of InterpreterPlugin)
DSAPlugin (subclass of InterpreterPlugin)
MD5Plugin (subclass of SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin)

These seem to have been dropped from various forks and the trunk
probably because the publisher (including me) did not have the
appropriate superclasses loaded when we loaded Cryptography. The latest
versions were available in mtf.13. So:

1) Are these plugins to be maintained as part of Cryptography? or
somewhere else?
2) If "yes" to 1, can I move them to a separate Monticello package?

I think it is a good idea to store these separately from the Cryptography
package. I believe we made sure that tests run without the plugins, so
Cryptography out of the box, without the plugins, is functional. We could
have a Cryptography-Plugins package to store these. Then the challenge is
to get VM builders to load this package when building VMs for distribution.

Nice work.

Btw, if you're merging forks, consider merging my packages which never
made it to squeaksource: http://leves.web.elte.hu/cryptography/ . Details

I merged your changes and split the Cryptography package. The current
version of the plugins are untested so if someone wants to have a crack
at running the tests with the plugin versions, that would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi Levente,

Sorry about that. I'm glad to see that they were integrated. Thanks for
doing the work!

All the best,
