Hello,
I have a couple questions around plugin creation as I am working on getting a new one set up and not finding some of the answers in the documentation.
1) How do you version stamp the plugin? I've searched through all the files on the plugin repos and see nothing about the version in any of them. The only thing I can guess so far is somehow the plugin systems pulls the version of the primary_pkg version when installed from a Port.
2) The software I am installing is provided as a zip straight from the vendor and is not a BSD Port. Is it an acceptable practice to fetch and extract the zip from the vendor or is it really preferred to attempt to submit a Port package based on that zip? I see that 3rd party bins like resilio sync get pulled directly during the port process but I've not really found where the process for generating a new port is laid out.
