[Ludovic Dubost]

The ldap patch allows to extract the ldap connect code from confirm_login and
put it in an ldap_connect function that can be reused and is used by the code in
picker_searchresult.cgi (see bug 102852) and is necessary for the user picker to
work in LDAP mode...

enter_bug.cgi:display user in list box; optional in def_params.pl Part 2 final try

marking these last two obsolete per email from the uploader.
He thought the upload was goofed up, but it wasn't.

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

User Picker patch

This needs more work because of the templatization issues. Applies to some of
the other patches as well, but I won't spam you by flagging them separately.

Comment 13

[Ludovic Dubost]

I can't do this work right now because we don't have a templatized version of
bugzilla used in our organization and we are also using the LDAP picket only..
If anybody wants to step-in to work on this patch, feel free.. It's a nice
enhancement for day to day worker if you have an installation with a lot of
users and you can't remember all email addresses..

Bug 162990 makes it possible to specify users in all the forms as "justdave*" or
"bugrep*@peshkin*" and have it filled in and confirmed on a confirm page.

How many of the applications for this would be covered by that patch?

Comment 15

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

The User Interface component now belongs to Gerv.  Reassigning all UNCONFIRMED
and NEW (but not ASSIGNED) bugs currently owned by Myk (the previous component
owner) to Gerv.

Comment 16

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Reassigning back to Myk.  That stuff about Gerv taking over the User Interface
component turned out to be short-lived.  Please pardon our confusion, and I'm
very sorry about the spam.

Comment 17

[Ludovic Dubost]

A new version of this patch for 2.17 is in Bug 102852 merged with the keywords
patch.. Also the user picker is a little obsolete because of Bug 162990 which
allows wildcards in the user boxes..

bulk removing target on WONTFIX/INVALID/WORKSFORME/DUPLICATE so they'll show up
as untriaged if they get reopened.
