Description

After #31110, we can't install plugin tarball like "foo-plugin-x.y.z" without rename. I want install plugin only stable version. I don't want use svn trunk/git master. And I want to know plugin version easily with its directory name.

I want change default directory like below if I can.

diff --git a/lib/redmine/plugin.rb b/lib/redmine/plugin.rb
index b3982fcfd..f75f181be 100644
--- a/lib/redmine/plugin.rb
+++ b/lib/redmine/plugin.rb

       p.name(id.to_s.humanize) if p.name.nil?

       unless File.directory?(p.directory)
         raise PluginNotFound, "Plugin not found. The directory for plugin #{p.i
d} should be #{p.directory}."

Even without #31110, many plugins don't work if a plugin with the id "foo-plugin" is installed under the directory other than "plugins/foo-plugin".

Anyway, your patch which allows plugins to be placed under any directory name is a nice improvement. I would like to get more feedbacks from plugin developers.

As Go MAEDA san knows, Redmine::Plugin.register is called from init.rb. So, my patch indicates plugins/foo-plugin only if init.rb was required from other codes..
