- Mostly complete:
Jira Legacy server Shibboleth JIRA serverId 180d847f-bce4-36b2-9964-771bff586829 key GEN-264 gitolite-configand personal repositories still unconverted. Probably declaring victory, assuming people don't think it's worth fixinggitolite-config(would require changes to Gitolite itself).- Meanwhile, I observe that the
mainbranch injava-idp-jetty-baseandjava-idp-tomcat-baseis surplus to requirements.
- Proposal: remove the
mainbranch in these two repositories and set HEAD to the most recent numbered branch (e.g.,9.4forjava-idp-jetty-base).

- Plugin management. Installation now works (as does listing).
- Update is all that left
- Plus bugs
- Plus tweaks:
- UI work sucks. The plugin interface will need extensive feedback. Right now my approach is "The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good"
- Thinking about optional config files - I'd like to discuss briefly.
...
- More support stuff than usual
Jira Legacy server Shibboleth JIRA serverId 180d847f-bce4-36b2-9964-771bff586829 key JPAR-171 Jira Legacy server Shibboleth JIRA serverId 180d847f-bce4-36b2-9964-771bff586829 key IDP-1652 Jira Legacy server Shibboleth JIRA serverId 180d847f-bce4-36b2-9964-771bff586829 key IDP-1642 - Work all over the map on configuration, auto-wiring collections of configuration objects
- Eliminated two existing files for the majority of deployers (some properties added or reworked to get at settings, so property file added)
- Working on more property-driven settings for authentication flows
- Will need to revamp more internals to autowire more objects like Principal serializers, Transcoder naming registry, all the lists that cause problems for plugins
- Going from basic to advanced cases probably will need to rely on some way to document or produce XML snippets
