Part of the effort to port FreeIPA to Arch Linux, where Python 3 is the default. FreeIPA hasn't been ported to Python 3, so the code must be modified to run /usr/bin/python2 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3438 Updated by pviktori@redhat.com
This object will allow splitting large translatable strings into more pieces, so translators don't have to re-translate the entire text when a small part changes. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3587
The API version the client sends can now be used to check what the client expects or is capable of. All version tests IPA does will be be named and listed in one module, ipalib.capabilities, which includes a function to test a specific capability against an API version. Similarly to Python's __future__ module, capabilities.py also serves as documentation of backwards-incompatible changes to the API. The first capability to be defined is "messages". Recent enough clients can accept a list of warnings or other info under the "messages" key in the result dict. If a JSON client does not send the API version, it is assumed this is a testing client (e.g. curl from the command line). Such a client "has" all capabilities, but it will always receive a warning mentioning that forward compatibility is not guaranteed. If a XML client does not send the API version, it is assumed it uses the API version before capabilities were introduced. (This is to keep backwards compatibility with clients containing bug https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3294) Whenever a capability is added, the API version must be incremented. To ensure that, capabilities are written to API.txt and checked by `makeapi --validate`. Design page: http://freeipa.org/page/V3/Messages Ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2732
Python does not guarantee dict order. Our reliance on it in `makeapi` is technically incorrect, even if it doesn't matter yet in any of our developers' environments. This patch sorts the options by name instead of relying on dict order. As an added benefit, future API.txt diffs should be be neater.
Move the code for encoding boolean values to LDAP boolean syntax from the Parameter class to the Encoder class, where the rest of LDAP encoding takes place. Remove encoding code from the Parameter class altogether, as all LDAP encoding should be done in the Encoder class.

Replace all occurences of create_default with equivalent default_from and remove create_default from the framework. This is needed for proper parameter validation, as there is no way to tell which parameters to validate prior to calling create_default, because create_default does not provide information about which parameters are used for generating the default value.
This patch changes the way plugins are initialized. Instead of finalizing all the plugins at once, plugins are finalized only after they are accessed (currently applies to Command, Object and Attribute subclasses, only in CLI by default). This change provides significant performance boost, as only the plugins that are actually used are finalized. ticket 1336
Some Param or Output attributes do not cause API incompatibility (e.g. doc, label or callables) and does not need to be included in API.txt. When these attributes are modified, a lot of bogus changes may get in API.txt - making the real API changes less detectable. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2107
Iterate over all API commands and perform the following validation: * Every command must have documentation and it must be marked for international translation * Every module hosting a command must have documentation and it must be marked for international translation * Every module topic must be marked for international translation For every error found emit a diagnostic. Emit a summary of total errors found. Return error flag if errors found, zero otherwise.
