[Setacl-devel] Alpha version of SetACL base classes in CVS

[Helge K. <hel...@ne...>]

In order to start working on SetACL together a certain basic structure has
to be in place. In the last few days I have created an alpha version of the
main class, CSetACL, and two helper classes, CTrustee and CACE. I have just
uploaded the code to our CVS repository. You can have a first look here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/setacl/baseclasses/

The intended structure should become clear once you have a look at the file
CSetACL.cpp. From here on, we should be able to work together as a team.

First, I recommend that those of you who are not familiar with CVS yet, read
the extensive documentation on sourceforge.net.

The most important question is: what work packages are there? The following
comes to my mind:

1. command line interface
2. COM control to be used from VB or scripting languages
3. re-implementation of the functionality of the current version 0.904
4. extension of that functionality (see my feature list):
4.1 set owner
4.2 set primary group
4.3 clear
4.4 remove trustee
4.5 enable / disable inheritance from parent
4.6 reset permissions on child objects
5. Active Directory support (?)
6. EXTENSIVE testing
7. documentation, web page

Now, who does what? As I have not worked with you before, I do not know what
you like to do and where your strengths are. Just one suggestion: Kenneth,
would you like to do the COM control?

Everybody: please use this list to express any thoughts or concerns and, of
course, what you would like to do. I for my part am going to do number three
first, re-implementation of the current functionality. In about a week from
now on the baseclasses should contain version 0.904's functionality.

I wish you a great new year's eve party and a happy new year!
