SabNZBD not updated in 112 days, 2 full releases behind?

[diskdiddler]

Hello,

Apologies to the maintainer (is it Josh?)
Is he too busy? or is he over it? Just time to start putting work towards dockers or something?

Is there something wrong with mine, it says "update available" in the package WebUI but the (correct / only?) way to update the plugin without breaking things, is to shut down SabNZBD package, leave jail running and click the upgrade button in the "installed plugins" section of the FreeNAS UI

This section, does not have the update button like it normally does?

I assume I'm not the only one?

Also, admitedly 2.2.0 is almost complete anyhow I think or 2.20 or something.
But 2.01 and 2.10 are out and we're still on 2.0.0

Have you created a feature request at bugs.freenas.org asking for an update to the latest port? If so, what is the bug number?

No, because I've always been under the impression the devs do the os, that plugins are more a third party bonus thing, unsupported?

Joshua Ruehlig will often update a plugin if a ticket is made.

I'll wait till 2.2 and give him a break then.
It's not his "job" though is it? To my knowledge he's literally the only one doing it.

Correct, he volunteers. Things will be much easier once 11.1 is out with the new plugin framework.

Oh the plugins are changing too? Could this mean more / better plugins? That's fantastic - I wans't aware.

I was pinning all my hopes on upgrading server specs and moving to docker eventually when it's re-added properly?
(it's apparently very powerful and flexible, albeit resource intensive through a VM - but maybe that was all rubbish, it was after all from JKH........)?

Yes, it will finally be simple to make (and document how to make) plugins. As an example, check out the .json files at https://github.com/freenas/iocage-ix-plugins. Those few lines of code are all that is needed to create a new-style plugin.
