Central Spec Repo Variant 1

Maybe we can do something similar to the (old) CocoaPods way. The root directory contains a directory for every plugins. Inside the plugin folder are the available versions and their spec file.

.
├── android-assets
│   └── 0.3.2
│       └── android-assets.json
├── auto-export-assets
│   ├── 0.4.0
│   │   └── auto-export-assets.json
│   └── 0.4.1
│       └── auto-export-assets.json
├── content-generator
│   ├── 0.4.0
│   │   └── content-generator.json
│   └── 0.5.0
│       └── content-generator.json
└── day-player
    ├── 0.9.0
    │   └── day-player.json
    ├── 1.0.0
    │   └── day-player.json
    └── 1.0.1
        └── day-player.json

Central Spec Repo Variant 2

A simpler approach: Just put all plugins intro one JSON array. Maybe we don’t need to keep every version.
