Add remote source plugin
Description
Currently you cannot directly download a file from e.g. the internet for runnning. For example, you might want to download some prebuilt binary or script from an external source.
This changeset adds support for a new kind of source called remote
(converse to local
). The plugin allows you to specify a url for a file and optionally a name for it (otherwise it uses the basename). It's just a simpler version of the tar, zip, deb plugins using the same low level downloader class.
Changes proposed in this merge request:

CHANGELOG/Release Notes

plugin.
