Use of Twisted web2
by Peter Mogensen 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi, I've been looking into the state of Twisted and CalendarServer and I'm a little confused about the roadmap. Twisted developers write: "Twisted Web 2 was (emphasis past tense!) a complete re-write of Twisted Web, with a new HTTP/1.1 implementation and a new resource publishing model. We decided this was a mistake and development focus has shifted to porting the best parts of Twisted Web 2 back to Twisted Web where existing applications will benefit from them." But CalendarServer relies heavily on Web2 features (DAV/ACls), so it would seem that unless there will be a 1-1 migrate path from Web2 to never versions of Twisted.web for these features, then CalendarServer is stuck on an unmaintained branch of Twisted. In other places people mention that there's plan to merge the dav-take-two-3081-4 branch back onto twisted trunk as soon as it's ready, but from the above that seem like it's an old abandoned plan? Could anyone elaborate on the plans for Twisted in CalendarServer? /Peter

Ticket 148, remove ACL method
by Peter Mogensen 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi, I'm a little puzzled by the change in this ticket to completely remove the ACL method. I realize that it'll make it easier for a specific application of calendarserver, in which the client doesn't offer ACL control and access is defined by predefined group or proxy principals, but it would make the calendarserver a lot less general a tool. It would also conflict with rfc4791 section 2. What are the arguments for doing this ? - aside from not having to solve the original problem i ticket 148. /Peter
