 # unRAID 6.1+
 unRAID plugins and packages
+
+These are notes more for my memory or for anyone who wants to make unRAID plugins using this structure
+
+I manage this on my laptop running Linux Mint Mate
+I use Sublime Text as an editor and SmarGit to upload to github
+copy tar-1.13 from unRAID to /bin/tar-1.13
+copy makepkg from unRAID to /sbin/makepkg
+I modified gfjardim's pkg_build.sh to take an argument and add arch type plus modified the lettering function
+To compile the packages for unRAID plugin run from the source directory
+    sudo ./mkpkg plugin
+This creates a slackware compliant package and md5 in the archive directory with the date as the version number
+And adds the date to the plugin file in plugins directory.
+e.g. plugin-2017.04.11-x86_64-1.txz and plugin-2016.02.12a-x86_64-1.md5
