Description

The rudder-package tool is currently written in ugly Python code, which makes it quite hard to maintain.
Also, the CLI was poorly designed since it was made before the plugins were a thing in Rudder. A cleanup would be appreciated.

Ideally, we will want:
  • A way more documented/tested internal interface
  • Not python based, but packaged as a compiled binary
  • Get rid of the table display as it makes output parsing impossible
  • To maybe remove it from the relays
  • Make it more easy to update in the future as we may have to rework the plugins distribution system
