Hi guys, found a bug while running the caldavclientlibrary on ubuntu. Tab completion was broken and what's worse was that I was unable to hit 'b', couldn't event paste it. Found another plighted soul here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7124035/in-python-shell-b-letter-does-no… Please find attached svn diff output with my fix. Atli.

Migrating GUIDs & Tasks Support
by Rahul Amaram 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, I am trying to push Calendarserver 5.x into Ubuntu Trusty (due to release on April 17). While testing I have found two issues. Any help to have them resolved would be great. 1. Earlier, for XML entries, I have distributed a sample accounts.xml file with the guid same as the uid (for ex. admin, test, etc.). However, with calendarserver 5.x, I can see that these kind of guids are considered invalid. Now, I figured out that the valid guid can be generated from the function 'str(uuid4()).upper()'. But how do I migrate the data from older guids to the newer guids? Is there any database update command that I can run? 2. Next, I have observed that for calendarserver 5.x, tasks are disabled when I access the calendar from Thunderbird. I am not sure if tasks have been disabled upstream or whether there is some compatibility issue with Thunderbird & Apple calendarserver. Any help in resolving these issues would be of great help as there are only a couple of days left for the Ubuntu LTS release. Regards, Rahul.

Added credential delegation to PyKerberos
by message adams 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Important functionality currently missing from PyKerberos, is the ability for a middle tier server to reuse the client's credentials to authenticate against another server (credential delegation). A previous ticket (submitted by Daniel) kindly added a patch for this, but the patch also contained a number of other changes which may prevent the delegation work from being committed to trunk. Ticket (*#847*) contains just the delegation work submitted by Daniel, which I hope will expedite these changes into trunk - as I feel this is very valuable functionality. Could these changes please be considered for trunk. If I have to make a request elsewhere, please let me know. All the very best, Marc

Implementation of credential delegation in pyKerberos
by Joshua Warburton 08 Apr '14

Hi there, I'm not sure that this is the correct place to be posting this, but it's the closest I can find. I've implemented an extra function for python-kerberos that allows credentials to be cached and then used to authenticate to other services using said credentials. I am interested in pushing these changes upstream so that others can use this functionality and I was wondering how I'd go about doing this. Thanks, Joshua Warburton Irax Ltd.
