[Geany-Devel] Future removal of Geany-Plugins from Fedora

Hi All,

I was seeking help for some issue for the Markdown plugin with WebKitGtk 
today on IRC and someone pointed out this issue with Fedora:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375807

Basically the whole Geany-Plugins package will be removed since one of 
the plugins uses an older version of a library that will be removed from 
Fedora.

IMO, it would be wise to separately package plugins to prevent one 
outdated plugin from getting the others removed. AFAIK this is how it's 
packaged on Debians.

P.S. It is my Markdown plugin that is threatening the removal of the 
entirety of Geany-Plugins (upgrade patches welcomed).

Regards,
Matthew Brush
