FreeBSD Port: textproc/elasticsearch5-x-pack

[Sonny Smith]

Thanks for the insight!

I'm documenting this for a lab I'm building so it's pretty easy to move to 6.x now that it's available. That way, you don't have to split your attention between versions.

If I'm hearing your recommendation: I should build on 6.x as that is likely the first build that will have properly working foo-plugins.

I'm working through these issues right now, but currently focusing on version 6.x. The "x-pack" packages for 5.x will most certainly be removed because they're not doing the right things. You are not supposed to be downloading/extracting the zip file for x-pack, which is what we're doing with the packages. There is more to it as handled by the "foo-plugin" tools.

If all goes well the plugin scripts could be fixed today, but I hope by the end of the week for sure.
