Instead of symlinks and build-time configuration the ipaplatform module is now able to auto-detect platforms on import time. The meta importer uses the platform 'ID' from /etc/os-releases. It falls back to 'ID_LIKE' on platforms like CentOS, which has ID=centos and ID_LIKE="rhel fedora". The meta importer is able to handle namespace packages and the ipaplatform package has been turned into a namespace package in order to support external platform specifications. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6474 Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <cheimes@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Rob Crittenden <rcritten@redhat.com>
This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.
A brief overview:
config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
try to detect this information first and will fall back to
/etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.
ipautil.py - helper functions
entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
(but don't add anything currently).
ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
