It's been quite some time since we last had an upstream release (0.4.1
was released on June 8th) and we've made quite a lot of progress.
I'd like to aim for having a 0.5.0 release very soon (before the end of
August, ideally). So it's time to discuss what are the features we
absolutely want to have in the next release. I'm going to suggest some,
and I'd like additional input from any interested individuals.
* Fully functional LDAP backend providing identification, authentication
and password change features. (Simo, Sumit: how close are we on this?)
* Prototype of the kerberos backend providing authentication and
password change features (Sumit: what's the status on this?)
* Successful build on Ubuntu Karmic (working as of today)
* Live configuration updates when the sssd.conf is edited (completed for
the core SSSD, but the backends need to take advantage)
* Python library to manipulate SSSD configuration (needed for authconfig
integration)
If this seems too ambitious, I'm all ears.
Looking forward to 0.6.0 and later:
We have been making a lot of progress in the ELAPI (event logging API)
and Audit features, but they're still not baked enough for 0.5.0. I
think that one of the primary goals for 0.6.0 should be integration with
the ELAPI for traditional logging and syslog, with support for the Audit
daemon coming later (0.6.1 or 0.7.0)
As far as scheduling, as I've said, I'd like to get a release before the
end of August. The Ubuntu Karmic feature freeze occurs on August 27th,
and the Ubuntu folks have expressed a definite interest in having the
SSSD in Karmic Koala, so I'd like to shoot for an August 24th release of
0.5.0, giving us a three-day margin for error.
