| JamesPage | lifeless: do you have time to discuss Hudson, Acegi and Spring Security? Know that you have worked in this area in upstream and would value your opinion. | 15:15 |
| lifeless | just in a meeting right now | 15:15 |
| lifeless | so yes, but responses will be a little latent | 15:15 |
| JamesPage | thanks; OK so I've now got to the point with the Hudson packaging work that I'm now looking at Hudson itself in more detail | 15:16 |
| JamesPage | so at the moment the 1.x codebase uses Acegi security; I've been looking to upgrade to Spring Security as we already have this packaged in Debian/Ubuntu | 15:17 |
| JamesPage | But then I came across a thread on the Hudson mailing list in late 2009 where this was rejected by upstream. | 15:17 |
| lifeless | yeah, with a patch from me :) | 15:18 |
| JamesPage | yep - hence the ping! | 15:18 |
| lifeless | so the argument was binary incompatability with plugins - also shipped as binaries | 15:18 |
| JamesPage | OK so for Ubuntu the plan is to build plugins from source as well so we could take the approach of | 15:19 |
| JamesPage | 1) patch core hudson to use spring security | 15:19 |
| JamesPage | 2) patch any plugins we package to also use spring security | 15:19 |
| JamesPage | I like this approach as it means I don't have to go near packaging Acegi (which uses load of old versions of spring) | 15:20 |
| JamesPage | But it will make packaging plugins in the future more awkward..... | 15:20 |
| lifeless | it also means that folk can't grab plugins from the plugin site | 15:21 |
| lifeless | I'd discuss that plan with upstream | 15:21 |
| lifeless | upgrading to spring would be the awesome | 15:21 |
| JamesPage | yep - not great :-( | 15:21 |
| JamesPage | I agree that upgrading would be awesome but I can't see this happening upstream prior to a major tech refresh (potentially with 2.0) | 15:22 |
| JamesPage | OK I'll ping a question to the dev mailing list a get some opinion... | 15:26 |
| JamesPage | thanks | 15:26 |
