Dancer::Plugin::Authorize was the first written, by Al. It was later renamed to Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC to give space to other authorization implementations other than what Al wrote, which was kind of him to do so. Al stopped maintaining both modules, so Franck and I cleaned them up a bit and released again. Dancer::Plugin::Authorize is now "deprecated" in favor of the newer name Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC and Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC was released with some cleanups, mainly done by Franck. There are a bunch of changes I would like to see in D::P::A::RBAC, mainly removing specific DBs for DBI or Dancer::Plugin::Database, cleaning up much of the code, removing a lot of boilerplate and duplicity. If you would like to: A. take over Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC B. rewrite it from scratch using the same name C. rewrite it from scratch using a different name D. write something new altogether under the same name E. write something new altogether under a different name you're more than invited, and I'll happily grant you all the permissions you need. Whichever you choose, I'm sure you'll do a great job. :) S. On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 11:14 AM, Flavio Poletti <polettix@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi All,
I see on CPAN that there's Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC - the code seems to be from Al Newkirk, but the distro is from XSAWYERX. On Github there's Dancer::Plugin::Authorize, again from Al Newkirk, which has been deprecated in favor of DPA::RBAC, and Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC from PerlDancer, which seems quite outdated with respect to its CPAN counterpart.
I'd like to contribute and I'd avoid forking to a brand new project... do you know whether it is possible somewhere?
Cheers,
Flavio. _______________________________________________ Dancer-users mailing list Dancer-users@perldancer.org http://www.backup-manager.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/dancer-users
