[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH 0072] Provide ipa-client-advise tool

[Tomas Babej]

[big snip]

Providing new version which should address mentioned issues:
   - advice plugins now inherit directly from Plugin, initial approach 
via Method class was abandoned
   - new Namespace api.Advice collects all the advice plugins
   - tool renamed to ipa-advise to express a more general use case

Additional improvements:
   - keywords are now generated out of Advice class's name, where 
underscores are replaced by hyphens
   - rewritten the example plugin in the docs, and provided more 
information there
   - instead of --setup option to provide configuration, ipa-advise 
takes one positional argument
   - renamed to ipa-advise

Concerns:
   - man page might need more improvements

I'll craft a design page for plugin authors, might be useful, even if 
the info is in the package docs.

-----------------------------------------------
Here's a little preview:

--enablerfc2307bis --enablekrb5

[tbabej at vm-001 ~]$ sudo ipa-advise fedora-authconfig4
invalid 'setup': No instructions are available for 'fedora_authconfig4'. 
See the list of available configuration advices using the --list option.
