[CalendarServer-dev] Re: twisted dav : xattrprops on linux

(Let's chat on the mailing list; I don't always respond to direct mail, get too much and all that.) 

  That's a weird rule...
Does it make sense for this to be hidden in the xattr library? Perhaps not... I kinda hate to so this on OS X just because Linux is weird.

wilfredo,

just stumbled across what looks like a minor issue with
xattrs on linux: it seems that when writing xattrs, normal
users are _required_ (at least on ext2/ext3) to prefix all
attribute names with "user.". i.e. it is not possible to
carry out


import xattr
xx = xattr.xattr("testFile")
xx["foo"] = "bar"


while


xx["user.foo"] = "bar"
works. if that is indeed the case, i would be tempted to suggest prefixing 
twisted.web2.dav.xattrprops.xattrPropertyStore.deadPropertyXattrPrefix
with "user.", i.e. replace "WebDAV:" with "user.WebDAV:" to enhance
portability.

i hope i am making sense.

kind regards,
v.
