Re: [RFC] Samba::LDAP namespace?
Gavin Henry a écrit : Dear List, I would like your opinion on the namespace: Samba::LDAP then Samba::LDAP::Group Samba::LDAP::Password Samba::LDAP::User I want to do this as I am halfway through writing an application called SOSA - Samba and Open-xchange Simple Administrator using Catalyst (which is to be released GPL) and I don't want to have to rely on the command line smbldap tools from idealx being installed, so I want to CPAN-ize them and have the modules installable from there. Smb seems to be more common on CPAN, as well as most package systems I am familiar with. I would be inclined to go with Net::Smb::LDAP, which leaves open the possibility that someone could do something useful with Net::Smb. David -- It's overkill of course, but you can never have too much overkill.

To elaborate on what I think David is saying, you should be careful about the distinction between SMB (a network filesystem specification) and Samba (an open source implementation of SMB). If your package works ONLY with Samba, then that name is OK. If you intend that it will work with other SMB implementations, use Smb.

I only intend to use it with Samba and OpenLDAP, as per the smbldap tools. Someone could however change that down the line to use on Active Directory, but as I don't know anything about AD, other than it's a kind of LDAP directory, I can only state my above intention.

[RFC] Samba::LDAP namespace?
Dear List, I would like your opinion on the namespace: Samba::LDAP then Samba::LDAP::Group Samba::LDAP::Password Samba::LDAP::User I want to do this as I am halfway through writing an application called SOSA - Samba and Open-xchange Simple Administrator using Catalyst (which is to be released GPL) and I don't want to have to rely on the command line smbldap tools from idealx being installed, so I want to CPAN-ize them and have the modules installable from there. I have contacted Jerome from Idealx and John from Samba, whom I both know already. I am still waiting for a reply from Jerome, and so won't move forward until we have had a chat. I am concerned about a code fork, but I don't think that would happen. On a side note, if any authors have been in the same position as this, I would love to hear your advice as to whether this is the best way to go. I don't really want to be doing anymore Yak Shaving.
