Hi
The patch mentioned in the subject has been in Jira since April
2007. What
is the status of this?
I have seen
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/
FilteringLDAPauthenticatedUsers
and it looks like everything is ready to be committed, but all that
has
been done so far is that the 'fix version' for the Jira issue has been
pushed forward to the upcoming release a couple of times, without any
appearant consideration for inclusion by the XWiki people.
What's missing here? Does this patch get the attention from the Xwiki
developers that I think it deserves? Or is it simply not ready for
committing and needs more testing?
And most importantly: What can I personally do to speed up the
inclusion
of this in the XWiki trunk?
Fair question. The reason it's not been applied yet IMO is because
none of the current committers are using LDAP and thus noboydy has
taken the time to learn how to set up a LDAP environment and test the
patch.
So what would help would be if you could apply the patch on a XWiki
SVN trunk version and verify it works fine and doesn't break anything
existing. Reporting that in the jira issue will help a lot and then
one of the committer could more easily apply the patch.
Thanks for your proposal for help!
