Hi everyone, Sorry for the delay in responses. I agree with the idea to re-write smbinfo in python since it gives more flexibility. And yes, we will need installers for python utilities in order to properly ship those. I am going to cut off the next release at the beginning of next week. The "next" branch is updated to have everything that I have got for now, except smbinfo re-write in python that I would like to postpone for the next release. https://github.com/piastry/cifs-utils/commits/next If any patch is missed or If someone has any WIP patches that need to be in the next release, please let me know. -- Best regards, Pavel Shilovsky чт, 10 окт. 2019 г. в 00:22, Aurélien Aptel <aaptel@xxxxxxxx>: > > "ronnie sahlberg" <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > > I think it would be good to have these tools as part of the actual install. > > They are in python so they are imho much more useful to the target users > > (sysadmins) than a utility written in C. > > (I kind of regret that smbinfo is in C, it should have been python > > too:-( ) > > I completely agree, we could rewrite smbinfo in python. > > > Maybe we just need to decide on a naming prefix for these utilities > > and then there shouldn't be > > a problem to add many small useful tools. > > We can also make the C code call the python script for now (or vice > versa, while smbinfo gets rewritten). > > > The nice thing with small python tools is that it is so easy to tweak > > them to specific usecases. > > +100 > > Cheers, > -- > Aurélien Aptel / SUSE Labs Samba Team > GPG: 1839 CB5F 9F5B FB9B AA97 8C99 03C8 A49B 521B D5D3 > SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE > GF: Felix Imendörffer, Mary Higgins, Sri Rasiah HRB 247165 (AG München)
