I wouldn't say "wrong approach in development" rather "wrong approach in FreeIPA development". There are a lot of products which you can extend pretty easy, e.g. by just mounting volumes with your files into the container. Especially a kind of a small extension like this, a ldap schema and a few ui elements makes you go through such a hassle, build a rpm package and an own docker image. That's horrible to be honest. Whoever is responsible here, I hope they read this, too, taking this into consideration on any FreeIPA upgrades making it more friendly for extensions and also give the docs a higher priority (P.S. I had to google how to install the FreeIPA packages on a fresh Rocky Linux VM, as I couldn't find it in the official FreeiPA docs, that's ridiculous). I don't know give us something like a environment variable where we can add a plugin path, then we simply mount a volume with the extensions in whatever format/structure it needs and point to it using the env var. Idk, anything which is less cumbersome than the current approach.
Nevertheless, back to the technical part. By the way, thanks for your time Alexander, I appreciate it. I prepared a repo: https://github.com/leonidas-o/freeipa-postfixbook-plugin When I execute the command: "rpmbuild -ba freeipa-userstatus-plugin.spec" I get a "error: Failed build dependencies: python2-ipaserver >= 4.4.0 is needed by freeipa-postfixbook-plugin-0.9.0-1.el8.noarch" So how do you setup your dev env? I've never build a rpm package, so this is pretty new to me. I mean currently is python3-ipaserver with all its dependencies installed, can't simply install python2-ipserver with all its dependencies as there are for sure dependency conflicts. Do you even build with one spec file several packages or having multiple spec files, e.g. one for python3, one for python2 and therefore also multiple dev env VMs where you can build that? _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to freeipa-users-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
