Debian Developer LDAP
Mark Bucciarelli
starting the design. A previous kde-promo thread mentioned the
Debian LDAP gateway as a possible model to follow.
I would be interested in any feedback the Debian developers have on
this system. It seems to have a lot of nice functionality, but I'd
like to know how it actually get's used. (For example, it seems
xplanet stuff doesn't work right now--no X's on the map, and the
coords file is empty.)
Here's a few questions that I came up with. I'm interested in any and
all feedback, so don't feel limited by this set. :)
(1) what do you find most useful? least?
(2) do people really update their records? (For example, what
percentage of entries were updated last year? What percentage of
entries have not been updated at all for two years? three years?)
(3) is the email gateway used?
(4) are there any docs I can read? (The KDE thread made mention of
some python scripts.)
(5) if I decide to follow the LDAP route, is there someone here who
would be willing to take some time to give me a bit of guidance?
While an LDAP approach seems to be the correct one, I've no experience
with it so I'm leery of starting something I cannot finish.
Thanks for any feedback.
Mark

This is reported in the BTS and only broke a short time ago.

Well, personal information is not that often updated when it doesn't
change :)

Yes. For some things (password forgotten, ssh keys, DNS CNAMES that's
IIRC the only way...)

debian...@lists.debianorg would be one place; but I assume that they
have more important things to do. But trying cannot hurt ;)

No problem if you're not in it, and even if you are, it's quick and painless.

RTFM <http://db.debian.org/doc-mail.html>. From db.debian.org
frontpage -> Documentation -> Mail gateway

The , must have been the problem.

Those are simply in wrong format.

The mail gateway should include the above URL to the documentation to
avoid such questions in the future. Who can add it, please?
So long!
