[Bug 1361217] Re: GUI for managing ACL

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for the patch!

Please could you add some dep3 (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/)
headers? We prefer these in Ubuntu so sponsors and future mergers can
see the answer to the following questions.

I see that this package currently has no delta in Ubuntu. Does the bug
apply to Debian and/or to upstream? Has it been submitted upstream? We
would prefer to not maintain a delta in Ubuntu indefinitely, so try not
to upload just to Ubuntu without sending patches upstream. For an
extensive patch (looks like this adds a feature?), we'd prefer to see a
commit made upstream first, so that we do not risk diverging from
upstream and then having to maintain the delta in Ubuntu indefinitely to
avoid regressing users.

If this has already been taken care of or is not required in this
particular case, then the dep3 headers would tell me :)

Please could you take care of any necessary upstream bug reports and
update the debdiffs to include dep3 headers in all added patches?

Title:
  GUI for managing ACL

Status in “eiciel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   - When you attempt to locate/search for a particular user most
  projects will only provide a simple list of users with no filtering
  tools, this can quickly become unsustainable if the user-base is
  higher then 100 users.

  [Test Case]

   - Setup a ldap with more then 100 users
   - Configure a system to authenticate using ldap
   - Setup ACL on one of the filesystems
   - Lunch Eiciel and try to find a particular user in the list

  [Regression Potential]

   - Implemented by the bug reporter, accepted upstream, cherry-picked to Precise.
   - Conflict resolution to cherry-pick (GTK apis not present in Precise's version). 

  [Other Info]

  Original Bug Description:

  1. Description of the problem:

  User interface to manage the fs ACL's needed by some users.
  Unfortunately it seems that the existing projects do not take into
  consideration a very large user-base. When you attempt to
  locate/search for a particular user most projects will only provide a
  simple list of users with no filtering tools, this can quickly become
  unsustainable if the user-base is higher then 100 users.

  2. Ubuntu release, software version, Release Number and Architecture
  of the selected components.

  Ubuntu 12.04LTS
  Eiciel

  3. How reproducible is the problem?

  Always

  4. Steps to Reproduce:

   4.1. Setup a ldap with more then 100 users
   4.2. Configure a system to authenticate using ldap
   4.3. Setup ACL on one of the filesystems
   4.4 Lunch Eiciel and try to find a particular user in the list

   a. Actual Results:
  Not only is it very hard to find a user if you have a user base of lets say 120 000 users, but it also seems that Eiciel only list the first 100 users

   b. Expected Results:
   Eiciel should be awair of large user bases and provide convenient ways to filter and/or search for users.

  5. Known Workaround:
   The only knows work around is to use the command line.
