YAIM meetings minutes

Thursday, 10th January, 2008

• We decide to analyse what bug fixes are ready to be released and unless there are some critical fixes we won't release any yaim module for the moment.
• We discuss future developments/improvements:
  • Disable/enable user creation -> Maria will work on this
  • service provider configuration by Stephen Burke -> Maria will take over Gergo as he is busy with other things.
  • Information system configuration -> clarify with Steve Traylen what he has presented in the GDB of 09/01 and see how this impacts on what Gergo had in mind for the IS config.
  • groups and roles, VO id cards and YAIM tools -> some actions are needed in YAIM. Decide how to integrate what the YAIM tool generates (new option? new function?), be in contact with Maria D and give Dimitar support for what he needs from us to implement the proposed solution.
  • Future work: exit codes, global pre and post function execution.
  • Maria informs about the new function list and acceptance criteria wikis -> Maria has to add man pages in the acceptance criteria. Also headers.
  • Maria should contact Owen to know if he plans to maintain config_file utility.

  • check whether patch 901 is fixed.
• MEDIUM TERM:
  • config users only in one place
  • pre and post scripts -> check whether this is implemented
  • developers guide - acceptance criteria
