[geeklog-devel] we don't need to maintain the plugin's upgrade function

[Michael Jervis]

Just roughly, but, in what scenario would you need the upgrade
function that isn't covered by the Geeklog installer for a currently
bundled plugin?

I don't have them installed, I don't need the upgrade.
I have them installed, they are upgraded by the install.

They aren't released separately, so there is no need for the
individual upgrade function unless we make a plugin release
independantly to the main software.

Or have I lost the plot?
