Revision as of 01:04, 1 July 2008

Plans for fortnight ending 12 July 2008

  • wmi integration (Jelmer)
  • upload openchange and samba-gtk into Debian (Jelmer)
  • hdb_samba4 (Jelmer)

Plans for fortnight ending 28 June 2008

  • test TEST_LDAP=yes (Andrew)
  • external Heimdal use (Andrew)
  • packaging (Andrew)

Achievements

  • Created Samba 4 and OpenChange RPM packages (Andrew)
  • Fixed Franky build for odd make versions (Jelmer)

Plans for fortnight ending 14 June 2008

  • Linked attributes for 'net vampire' (Andrew)
  • AES Key support (check with docs and Win2008 on format) in samdb (Andrew)
  • Work to make ldb merge easier for Simo (andrew)
  • Any work required to merge NTP patch with ntp.org distribution (Andrew)
  • Work with alpha testers on any issues that come up in production deployments of Samba4 (Andrew)

Achieved so far

  • Samba4 alpha4 release (andrew)
    • without LDB merge, which seems a while off yet
  • Sync ldap.py test with it's (now obsolete) ldap.js predecessor (andrew)
  • Add python bindings for NetBIOS (Jelmer)
  • Improve portability of Franky build (Jelmer)
  • Asked Microsoft about AES key formats (Andrew)
    • Just getting the data from Win2008 failed due to other reasons
  • Continued the battle with Microsoft over NTP documentation (Andrew)
  • Worked on package of Heimdal for Fedora (Andrew)
    • As a preview to packaging Samba4 for Fedora

Plans for fortnight ending 31 May 2008

  • Linked attributes for 'net vampire' (andrew)
  • Make a Samba 4.0 alpha4 release if the ldb branch gets merged

http://packages.debian.org/testing/python/python-wmi (Jelmer)

Achieved so far

  • Implement NTP signing (andrew)
  • Finish CLDAP and NBT netlogon parsing. (Andrew)
    • Including expected value tests (critical to ensuring we return the *right* answer)
    • This should help things like Group Policy, which rely on this 'DC ping' functionality
  • Merge Simo's ldb branch with current v4-0-test (abartlet)
    • Should make Simo's merge task easier.
  • Removed smbpython and restructured Python modules hierarchy to not clutter Python namespace (Jelmer)
  • Merged improvements made by Wilco and Jelmer to the registry during SambaXP (Jelmer)
  • Added documentation to most Python modules and improved descriptions. (Jelmer)
  • Fixed memory bug in autogenerated DCE/RPC Python bindings (Jelmer)
  • Several test infrastructure improvements. (Jelmer)
    • Print full test path for easy inclusion in knownfail lists
    • Make test case name part of test name to allow a test to have different results against different test cases
    • Set PYTHONPATH during test runs
  • Removed unused old EJS DCE/RPC bindings and testscripts (Jelmer)
  • Make it easier to use various libraries externally without including all of Samba 4's build system (Jelmer)
  • Updated Samba 4, OpenChange and Samba-Gtk Debian packages, now passes lintian. (Jelmer)
  • Added Python bindings for IRPC / Messaging interfaces (Jelmer)
    • Rewrote smbstatus in Python
  • Added mechanism for doing "raw" DCE/RPC requests from Python (Jelmer)
    • Also initial work on a script that should attempt to figure out IDL by probing
  • Exposed more DCE/RPC internals from Python bindings (Jelmer)
  • Initial work on WSGI implementation in web_server/ (Jelmer)
  • Added combined buildsystem for Franky

Plans for fortnight ending 17 May 2008

  • Fix our CLDAP netlogon processing to match description in [MS-ADTS] 7.3.3 (andrew)
    • Use this to fix and test group policy handling on Win2000 and WinXP clients

Achieved so far

  • Partial security=server implementation, awaiting VFS proxy merge for testing (Andrew)
  • Removed a large number of dead build farm hosts in response to automated mails (Andrew)
  • Brought back old (D)COM code and made it compile again (Jelmer)
  • Merged GNU make branch (Jelmer)
    • Now allows using system Python with Samba Python modules
  • Finished Samba 4 Debian package together with Christian (Jelmer)
  • Updated Debian packages for OpenChange and Samba-Gtk (Jelmer)
  • Most of the parsing work towards the CLDAP/NBT netlogon consolidation (Andrew)

Plans for fortnight ending 3 May 2008

  • Build Farm improvements
    • See if we can use SQLite to get a bit more done
    • make build farm summary page use sqlite
    • host list, by last reported time
    • last reported time on host individual page
  • Finish security=server re-implementation in Samba4
  • Finish ncacn_http implementation

Achieved so far

  • Very useful Visit to Sam's home company for 2 days
    • Chat with principals to encourage them
    • Jelmer prepared WAFS branch for merging
      • Looks like further development will be upstream, which is great
    • Jelmer did some initial work on tests for proxy code
    • Andrew Started work on 'security=server' re-implementation for Samba4
      • This will allow WAFS to hijack an unsigned connection as a man in the middle attack.
    • Andrew fixed 'make test' to fail if PIDL tests fail
  • Build Farm
    • make build farm send e-mails to dead hosts (based on SQLite database)
