Paul Joseph Davis resolved COUCHDB-442.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Later
Right, we'd need to add ACL support to _list and _show to accomplish
the original intent, but that was my reason for doubting the
feature; we can just roll this functionality into the existing
feature set.
Closing this because it probably won't happen. When some of the
upcoming auth/access patches hit similar functionality will most
likely get rolled into _list and _show. For interested listeners,
keep an ear to the dev@ ground for updates.
Which upcoming patches? Are these developments in progress or
somewhere down the road. Have they been discussed on the mailing
list (dates or topics would be useful)? Are there JIRA entries for
them?
It is good to avoid the case where a feature arrives fully baked in
the SVN without previous discussion. It gives the community has no
opportunity to see if it meets their needs before it is cast in code.
I've been trying to organize info from the mailing list, JIRA entries
and code review into an overview of Authentication and Authorization
thoughts on the Wiki It hasn't been easy getting up to speed and I'd
to make things easier for anyone else who is trying to catch up.
