Hi,
this patch adds a special filter type for enumarations instead of
using 'name=*'. I think this makes the code easier to read and
understand, allows the usage of a '*' in user or group names
(although it might be recommended to do without) and fixes trac
ticket #676.
bye,
Sumit
FWIW:
Theareason why we used the name and * in the name field is because
originally we wanted to allow to search using a smart filter. So that
through the infopipe you could do searches like: all users starting by
A, with a filter like "A*".
But I think we can work on it when we will actually decide to implement
this stuff. Meanwhile, although I haven't reviewed the patch carefully,
the general direction looks quite ok.
Simo.
