[Freeipa-devel] what's deprecated & what's in use in our tree?

[John Dennis]

Thanks Rob, a couple more questions:

>> According to Jason everything under ipapython is deprecated right?
>
> No.
>>
>> Is everything under ipaserver/install deprecated too?
>
> No. This is the server installer code.


Earlier today Jason said this:

"the legacy code from v1 (ipapython, the installer) and the new plugable 
v2 code (ipalib, ipaserver)"

Then what did Jason mean when he used the term "legacy"? I took that to 
mean deprecated, or did he mean it's just older vintage?

>> Under ipaserver the only imports for ipapython are in the
>> ipaserver/install directory, which is o.k. because install is deprecated.

O.K. I'm still confused :-) Above you state ipaserver/install *and* 
ipapython is where common code outside the framework belongs. Is there a 
fine distinction being drawn between the two import areas such that they 
can't live together?

Can you define the term "framework"?
