attached is a new file based group driver. It allows you to use
/etc/group or a custom file as provider for the Horde group information.
The driver itself went through three incarnations:
- around 2008 created as quick proof of concept
- turned into a site specific driver in 2012 by Jan
- refactored to be a generic driver with unit tests by me today
Some design considerations:
- group names are the group ids by default. This driver
is mainly used with IMAP folder ACLs based on group name.
The newly added 'use_gid' feature allows you to use
the GIDs from the group file instead if ever wanted.
- Horde_Cache based caching is currently disabled as it would
need way more complex logic to invalidate the cache on changes
to the group file without much (performance) gain.
Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Thomas
