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 tofix 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 4.3unless we add those dependencies explicitly in setup.py or add backwardscompatible 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 morethan ten.

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

I am guessing that due to the dependency cleanup in the upcoming Plone4.3 this will be a natural point at which add-on developers will nolonger 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 usermaurits at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.ldap would be gladlyaccepted. :-)


+1 I had already assumed that to be the case… IIRC the docs say something like plone.app.ldap on Plone 3 use 1.2.x only but there is no 1.3 release :-)



Thanks,
