Feel free to prepare a patch for a current version of WPKG. Personally I've expressed many times on the list already why I think the way it's done is not the right one. A summary: - LDAP/AD link introduces a new communication channel to wpkg.js which is prone to errors. - A lot of non-portable code with quite high potential to break something needs to be introduced. - Most users are using WPKG witout AD, so a few users will have to suffer from bugs introduced for a couple of AD users. - Export scripts written in Perl are already available to export AD structures to WPKG XML structures. - /applymultiple switch introduces complexity and breaks quite a lot of existing installations if used without caution. Moreover there is no scenario known to me which cannot be done without this functionality using existing functionality. - Code posted in Bugzilla is not portable for different AD structures or generic LDAP servers. So feel free to create a patch for the current version of WPKG which might be applied for these users who need it. I am personally OK with the delivery of this patch even as part of the official shipment but I don't plan yet to introduce this code in the stable release of WPKG. For Version 1.2 I plan to restructure quite a lot of code where it might be possible to extend the functionality - maybe by referring to eternal scripts. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
