This discussion got me thinking, always a dangerous proposal:
We are currently exposing record add with the lie that when you add a
record, it has a type. THe reality is that a record is just this big
collection of multi value attributes, and each of those is the "type"
of the record.
If all of the 'records' have the same idnsname, then they really fall
under the same Record object in LDAP.
What if we focuses on the attribtutes themselves, and add the type info
there.
Pie in the sky proposal. Treat it as a starting point:
From the webui perspective
dnsrecord-add allows the case where it just has the the idnsname with
no "records"
dnsrecordattr-mod takes record type specific values.
To add a location entry:
ipa dnsrecordattr-mod --append location --lat-deg=INT --lat-min=INT
--lat-sec=FLOAT --lat-dir=ENUM --lon-deg=INT --lon-min=INT --lon-sec=FLOAT
--lon-dir=ENUM --alt=FLOAT --h-precision=FLOAT --v-precision=FLOAT
And to remove it
ipa dnsrecordattr-mod --remove location --lat-deg=INT --lat-min=INT
--lat-sec=FLOAT --lat-dir=ENUM --lon-deg=INT --lon-min=INT --lon-sec=FLOAT
--lon-dir=ENUM --alt=FLOAT --h-precision=FLOAT --v-precision=FLOAT
mod2 is expected to work on a single attribute at a time.
