For example, instead of: + >>> Param('number', type=Int()) + You would do this: + >>> Int('number') + The types will correspond to Python 3.0 text/binary disambiguaiton, so we + will have Bytes, Str, Int, Float, and Bool. + + * Rename crud Method base classes to standard CRUDS name: Add=>Create, + Get=>Retrieve, Mod=>Update, Del=>Delete, Find=>Search. + + * Add a Command.backend convenience attribute that checks if the class + uses_backend attribute is sets the Command.backend attribute like this: + self.backend = self.Backend[self.uses_backend] + + * Finish methods on Plugin base class for calling external commands via + subprocess. + + * Probably renamed ipa_server package to ipaserver. + + * Add special logging methods to Plugin baseclass for authorization events + (escalation, de-escalation, and denial). + + * Implement gettext service. + + * Add ability to register pre-op, post-op plugins per command. + + * Add ability to have certain args/options only active on either client-side + or server-side, and also the same for things like default_from callbacks. + + * Add ability to have a post-processing step that only gets called + client-side. It should have a signature like output_for_cli() minus the + textui argument. Need to decide whether we allow this method to modify + the return value. + + * Make Plugin base class parse class docstring into overview and + full-description strings (similar to Bazaar). + + * Removed depreciated code in config.py. + + * Remove __getattr__() from Env (and probably elsewhere) as in Python 2.4 and + 2.5 hasattr() will catch KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit exceptions (BTW, + this has been fixed in Python 2.6). + + * Remove support for dynamic environment values from Env... Jason feels this + the Env class should be simple and static. Other mechanisms should be used + for retrieving per-request dynamic environment variables. + + +CRUD base classes: + + * The Retrieve method should add in the common Flag('all') option for + retrieving all attributes. + + * We probably need some LDAP centric crud method base classes, like + LDAPCreate, etc. Or other options it to have an LDAPObject base class and + have the crud Method plugins rely more on their corresponding Object plugin. + + * Update the Retrieve, Update, Delete, and Search classes so that the utilize + the new Param.query kwarg (to turn off validation) when cloning params. + + +Existing plugins: + + * Many existing plugins that are doing crud-type operations aren't using the + Object + Method way of defining their parameters, and are therefore defining + the exact same parameter several times in a module. This should be fixed + one way or another... if there are deficiencies in the crud base classes, + they need to be improved. + + +Command Line interface: + + * Finish textui plugin + + * Make possible Enum values self-documenting + + * All "comma-separated list of..." parameters should really be changed to + multivalue and have a flag that tells the CLI whether a multivalue should + be parsed as comma-separated. + + +Improve ease of plugin writting + - make "from ipalib import *" import everything a plugin writter will need + - Finish ipa_types, add Str and Float Types + +Packaging + - Use setuptools instead of plain distutils + - Make setup.py generate dev-docs and run unit tests + - Package for rpm (.spec file) + - Package for apt (debian/ dir) + +Migration + - Add the IPAService objectclass to existing principals + - Move existng host/ principals from cn=services to cn=computers? |
