Not really, this ticket does things very different. I merged my approach
with ideas of the the generic-auth-branch, as I think this goes side-by-
side. Additionaly I separated things up to get django more flexible (users
and permissions are two different apps, user-backends is a possible addon-
app). With this changes it is easy to replace the current models
(including the groups and message-system, as not everyone uses this...this
could be put into separate apps, too) or implement things like row-level-
permissions very easily. However some generic API stays that can be used
by third-party-apps to ensure usage of one user-system (needed for single-
sign-on solutions or simply to ensure the usage of only one user-table).
Usersystems that are using some non-db backend are also possible, but may
need to provide some model to get foreign keys working (current solution
needs you to copy the user to the django-model and return this...usage of
LDAP is very ugly with this approach).
As I updated to branch under https://svn.webmasterpro.de/django-auth-
rewrite/ things may get more clearly:
* https://svn.webmasterpro.de/django-auth-rewrite/django/contrib/auth/ -
generic API to be used by apps
* https://svn.webmasterpro.de/django-auth-
rewrite/django/contrib/auth_backends/ - ideas for some backends-system
(not really needed, but to retain current functionality...only some idea
so far)
* https://svn.webmasterpro.de/django-auth-
rewrite/django/contrib/auth_user/ - user-system including groups and
messages (copy of current solution)
* https://svn.webmasterpro.de/django-auth-
rewrite/django/contrib/auth_model_perm/ - model permissions (copy of
current solution)
Note: The code is still only some proof-of-concept. The generic API works
here, but as I replaced the user- and permission-system I haven't really
tested this. In addition many things inside django need to be arranged
(generic views for example).
I'll leave this ticket closed, but comments are always welcome.
