The HCL2 docs on built-in functions contains a link to a non-existent
section of the expressions page, so we update it to link to the general
page, and to the string interpolation section, since it is a common use
case.
The active plugins that resided in a HashiCorp repository have been migrated to
the integrations framework and no longer need to be listed within the plugins-manifest file.
Since this feature is no longer something we plan to activate later, as
it contradicts with our efforts to remove bundled plugins, and
encouraging users to move to either manually installing plugins, or
managing them through `packer init', we clean-up the code for this
feature.
Since we added support for PLSPs recently, and it will be released as part of 1.9.3, we add some documentation regarding the environment variables we added, and a note regarding their relation to PLSP support.
The `packer init' command's wording was not clear, so it was changed in
a preceding commit, and this commit aims to add more details on how the
command is meant to be used, along with a simple example.
When the config file header was reworked, an erroneous link was
included and placed so close to the header that it was rendered verbatim
in the final documentation page.
By adding an extra empty line in between the anchor link and the header,
this renders correctly.
Packer checks a number of directories for plugins upon initialization,
with the introduction of multi-component plugins and underlying changes
to the Packer SDK the ordering changed slightly. These changes update
the related documentation to reflect the new ordering, and adds a plugin
loading ordering section to the docs to help users discover how plugin
loading works.
Include in this change are updates to the PACKER_CONFIG_DIR environment
variables to reflect the XDG base directory specification used as the
default Packer configuration directory layout.
* Update website/content/docs/configure.mdx
* Update external plugin documentation source
The Parallels plugin for Packer is now maintained by the Parallels team, under
their respective GitHub org. This changes updates the source address for
the external plugin that should be used for pulling new plugin
documentation.
* Removed packer-plugin-parallels for list of vendored plugins
