[CalendarServer-users] What happened to Apache DirectoryService?

[Sergio Talens-Oliag]

Hi all, 

I've installed the debian's calendarserver 3.2 package and it works, but I
would like to be able to use it with the users I maintain on a dovecot's
Passwd-file (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile) than can be
made compatible with Apache files like the ones documented on: 

  https://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/trunk/doc/Admin/DirectoryService-Apache.rst

but, after looking at the repository, I've seen that the documentation is
there but the Apache and SQL Directory Services were removed from trunk three
years ago when merging a branch:

  https://trac.calendarserver.org/changeset/4958

So, my question is: were they removed because they were buggy or simply
because nobody was using them?

I've seen that the debian package has a NSS based directory service that works
and is maintained by the debian developers, so my plan was to change it to be
able to read apache like files, but maybe it makes more sense to start from
he old Apache files... so, ¿any advice on where to start from?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Greetings,

  Sergio.
