Hi,

plone.app.ldap is on github already:
https://github.com/plone/plone.app.ldap

The master currently does not support Plone 3, though that is easy to fix by doing '<include package="Products.CMFCore" />' instead of '<include package="Products.CMFCore" file="permissions.zcml" />.

But there are several zope.app imports. These will break in Plone 4.3 unless we add those dependencies explicitly in setup.py or add backwards compatible imports, with this familiar pattern:

try:
    from zope.component.hooks import getSite
    getSite  # pyflakes
except ImportError:
    # BBB for Plone 3, if we still need to support that.
    from zope.app.component.hooks import getSite

If it were just one import then this would be fine, but there are more than ten.

So I say we officially drop support for Plone 3 on master. Is anyone against that?

I am guessing that due to the dependency cleanup in the upcoming Plone 4.3 this will be a natural point at which add-on developers will no longer support Plone 3 because of this extra hassle.

BTW, master currently has a fix by sneridagh (Víctor Fernández de Alba) that would be good to have in a release. Hint: PyPI rights for user maurits at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.ldap would be gladly accepted. :-)

Thanks,
