= Hacking Net::LDAP
|
||||
|
||||
We welcome your contributions to Net::LDAP. To increase the chances of your
|
||||
patches being accepted, we recommend that you follow the guidelines below:
|
||||
We welcome your contributions to Net::LDAP. We accept most contributions, but
|
||||
there are ways to increase the chance of your patch being accepted quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Your code should be formatted like the rest of Net::LDAP. We use a text
|
||||
wrap of 76 - 78 characters, especially for documentation contents.
|
||||
Operators should have spaces around them, method definitions should have
|
||||
parentheses around arguments. Keep the indentation as flat as possible.
|
||||
2. Your changes should be well-documented and described.
|
||||
3. You must provide rspec tests for any new or changed features. Rspec has
|
||||
been chosen as the way forward for tests.
|
||||
4. You should provide LDIF data for importing into LDAP servers so that the
|
||||
changes can be tested <em>in situ</em> with more than one real LDAP
|
||||
server.
|
||||
5. You should have tested your changes against a real LDAP server.
|
||||
== Licensing
|
||||
|
||||
Net::LDAP 0.3 and later will be licensed under an MIT-style license; any
|
||||
contributions after 2010-04-20 must be under this license to be accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
== Formatting
|
||||
|
||||
* Your patches should be formatted like the rest of Net::LDAP.
|
||||
* We use a text wrap of 76–78 characters, especially for documentation
|
||||
contents.
|
||||
* Operators should have spaces around them.
|
||||
* Method definitions should have parentheses around arguments (and no
|
||||
parentheses if there are no arguments).
|
||||
* Indentation should be kept as flat as possible; this may mean being more
|
||||
explicit with constants.
|
||||
|
||||
== Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation: net-ldap[http://net-ldap.rubyforge.org/]
|
||||
|
||||
It is very important that, if you add new methods or objects, your code is
|
||||
well-documented. The purpose of the changes should be clearly described so that
|
||||
even if this is a feature we do not use, we can understand its purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
We also encourage documentation-only contributions that improve the
|
||||
documentation of Net::LDAP.
|
||||
|
||||
== Tests
|
||||
|
||||
The Net::LDAP team uses RSpec for unit testing; all changes must have rspec
|
||||
tests for any new or changed features.
|
||||
|
||||
Your changes should have been tested against at least one real LDAP server; the
|
||||
current tests are not sufficient to find all possible bugs. It's unlikely that
|
||||
they will ever be sufficient given the variations in LDAP server behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're introducing a new feature, it would be useful to provide LDIF data
|
||||
for importing into LDAP servers for testing.
|
||||
|
||||
== Development Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Net::LDAP uses several libraries during development, all of which can be
|
||||
installed using RubyGems.

== Description
|
||||
|
||||
Pure Ruby LDAP library.
|
||||
Net::LDAP for Ruby (also called "net-ldap") is a pure-Ruby LDAP support
|
||||
library that has been tested against several modern servers, including
|
||||
OpenLDAP and Active Directory. It supports most LDAP client features and
|
||||
a subset of server features.
|
||||
|
||||
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an Internet protocol for
|
||||
accessing distributed directory services. LDAP is often used to provide
|
||||
access and authentication to networked services.
|
||||
|
||||
The current release is mostly compliant with RFCs 2251–2256, 2829–2830,
|
||||
3377, and 3771. Our roadmap for Net::LDAP 1.0 is to gain full
|
||||
<em>client</em> compliance with the most recent IETF LDAP RFCs
|
||||
(4510–4519, plus portions of 4520–4532).
|
||||
|
||||
=== Notice of Impending License Change
|
||||
|
||||
In the next release of Net::LDAP (0.3), we will be changing the license
|
||||
to an MIT-style license.
