[Zeek] - difference between plugin and package

They describe different concepts.

Plugins are extensions to Zeek written in C++ using the plugin API. This 
can be used to create bifs, log-writers, etc.

Packages are sets of scripts or plugins distributed in a format that the 
zeek package manager can understand.

So - a package can (but does not have to) contain a plugin; it also can 
just contain script-files.
