Your +plugin gets the variables set in the source definition in its environment. The +working directory will be set to the source's cache directory.

"current" must not be touched but +can be used as a hint to skip downloading the same file again. stdout and +stderr will be connected to "log", which will be output on error. You needn't +create "new" if it would be identical to "current". + |
