</I>><i> I was thinking along the lines, about permissions of who can edit/create

</I>><i> So, if a user (maintainer with admin permissions?) has the necessary entry

</I>><i> db.
</I>
I think that simply checking if someone is in some ldap group would be
sufficient. ( and more in conformance with the way the rest of
infrastructure is managed ). I would even add for more than 1 group so
we can have sysadmin and another group of packagers, if delegation is
needed.
There is various way to handle this, and I think you should ask to
packagers about what they would want, especially with regard to multiple
maintainers per packages ( not for now, of course as the goal was to
have something ready fast, but such improvements were quite asked
afaik ). Ie, who can accept another packagers or not ?
We do not have any upload restrictions yet, but I guess that sooner or
later, some parts will be restricted, and it would be better to have
them maintainers based rather than duplicating the username in the
buildsystem configuration.
><i> I don't think there will be a need to have write permissions to ldap, unless

</I>
Yup, the maintainer creation should be done on ldap first, as people
need a account to maintain anything.
><i> OK. That's great thanks Michael.
</I>><i> Again I was thinking about a maintainer, that I should be doing a lookup in
</I>><i> ldap, but I could be testing that with my account I suppose.
</I>
I am not sure that would work :/
The ldap is quite restricted to protect privacy of users, and only
service accounts should be able to get such informations.
