It is now possible to create plugins with chart download capabilities for custom, non-http protocols.
Furthermore it is possible to reuse helm packages to implement alternative clients with these custom downloader functions.
Fixes issues/2272
stable-repository-url is currently hard-coded for helm init,
so if a user wants to make a different intranet repository as stable repo,
only option left is to first do an init,
followed by repo delete and repo add.
A lot of community members are looking at `helm serve` as a production webserver to host their
charts. There are much better solutions out there like s3, wabs or gcs for cloud storage and
nginx, haproxy or apache for DIY dedicated web servers. Steering users in the right direction
will help users make the right decision when it comes to serving their charts in production.

`helm install` command was calling chartutil.Load twice,
once from `run` method and
another time from `client.InstallRelease` which is called from `run` method in `cmd/helm/install.go`
Add plugin management subcommands for installing and removing plugins
to `$HELM_HOST/plugins`.
Install accepts a vcs url or a local directory.
```
$ helm plugin install http://github.com/adamreese/helm-env
Installed plugin: env
$ helm plugin list
NAME VERSION DESCRIPTION
env 0.1.0 Print out the helm environment.
$ helm plugin remove env
Removed plugin: env
```
closes#1977
This exposes the skip-refresh flag to helm init to make it possible to
initialize Helm without fetching the index.yaml of the stable repo.
This mirrors the behavior of 'helm dep up's skip-refresh flag.
Closes#2127
In order to allow the stream emitted by "helm init --debug" to be fed
back into "kubectl create/apply -f", use YAML starting and ending
document boundary markers instead of blank lines to separate the
individual manifests.
If a release's v1 config map was removed, 'helm upgrade' would fail. It
was calling the wrong function to get its history. This has been fixed.
Closes#1829
When downloader package moved to under /pkg, helmpath functions got called still from it, while it is under /cmd. This commit fixes the issue by moving helmpath after the downloader to have only cmd->pkg and pkg->pkg calls.
