[08:28] <zch> hi
[08:30] <robertj> is there a list of stuff that needs to be added to EDSAdmin?
[08:45] <robertj> <crickets />
[08:49] <Burgwork> robertj: I have not looked at it, so I cannot comment
[08:50] <Burgwork> rather than figure that out, why not compile a needs list and match it up
[08:57] <robertj> Burgwork: is there such a list?
[08:58] <robertj> Burgwork: I looked at EDSAdmin ~9 months back
[08:58] <robertj> and have since learned something of python
[09:00] <zch> robertj: I miss a "browse view" like lat has it
[09:00] <zch> robertj: do you know lat?
[09:00] <robertj> zch: no, sorry
[09:00] <robertj> zch: I've heard of it
[09:00] <robertj> zch: browse view == tree view?
[09:01] <zch> robertj: perhaps you should look at it, it's not bad, with a nice UI
[09:01] <zch> robertj: yes tree view, with all attributes
[09:03] <zch> I don't know what the scope of edsadmin is
[09:04] <zch> perhaps it shouldn't become yet an other LDAP Browser
[09:04] <robertj> zch: probably not, but I doubt it could be a significant amount of owrk
[09:05] <robertj> well relative to the rest of the task at hand
[09:09] <robertj> EDS had its last commit 23 months ago
[09:11] <zch> robertj: make edsadmin look like lat :)
[09:11] <zch> but much more stable
[09:13] <robertj> edsadmin still depends on howl
[09:13] <Burgwork> yes, lat has stability issues
[09:13] <robertj> it seems like it would be a good ideal to ask nicely if we should fork EDSAdmin
[09:14] <Burgwork> is upstream dead?
[09:14] <robertj> like I said, 23 months
[09:14] <Burgwork> in that case, email the creator asking for you to take it over
[09:14] <robertj> oh no, i'm not falling for that one :)
[09:14] <Burgwork> somebodies got to
[09:15] <robertj> so who's getting paid :)
[09:15] <robertj> but seriously, I don't have the time
[09:20] <robertj> brb
[09:37] <zch> robertj: have a look at this:  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2004-December/002391.html

[09:39] <zch> Hi, Manuel. I want to mention a program I have been working on: EDS
[09:39] <zch> Admin (http://edsadmin.sourceforge.net). It is a gtk + python app for
[09:39] <zch> managing LDAP user directories. Unlike other LDAP programs, it doesn't
[09:39] <zch> try to be a swiss army knife; it tries to manage users and groups well.
[09:39] <zch> The current version auto-detects LDAP servers using either DNS SRV
[09:39] <zch> records or rendezvous. As soon as I can get some strange bugs squashed
[09:39] <zch> in the openldap/kerberos/sasl combo, it will also support auto-login to
[09:39] <zch> the directory server for the domain(realm). It also supports samba
[09:39] <zch> accounts and groups, and I plan to support Lorikeet (Samba + Heimdal +
[09:39] <zch> LDAP SSO solution) as soon as possible.
[09:39] <robertj> thats' check into sf as EDSRealmsAssistant
[09:39] <robertj> .the linked url there seems kaput though
[09:41] <zch> is EDSRealmsAssistant, edsadmin + more? or an own tool?
[09:41] <robertj> I think its a seperate tool, never looked into that htough
[09:43] <zch> hmm, is mark at the moment active in the ubuntu community?
[09:56] <robertj> dunno
[10:00] <robertj> I wonder where it is getting its images module from
[10:00] <robertj> it's not in cvs
[10:00] <robertj> and there is nothing like it in google's code search
