I did import tmda-cgi into my repository (as noted in another reply), but I never updated it (aside from some largely automatic, non-functional updates such as indentation). I can't say for sure that it *doesn't* work with the updated TMDA, but I would be rather surprised if it did. I believe interfaces have been changed that tmda-cgi uses, though I didn't keep a record of these changes and can't say what they are without going back through the commit logs and/or examining diffs. The wiki on the GitHub project mentions that tmda-cgi isn't supported. That's always a good place to check on GitHub projects (and Google Code, etc., though often there's nothing there). I seem to recall that tmda-cgi has its own authentication module largely copied/pasted from tmda-ofmipd. That part of tmda-ofmipd has been almost completely replaced in my fork, so these two separate authentication modules may no longer be compatible. Certainly they are incompatible under certain usages, since the new tmda-ofmipd authentication supports a new mode (PAM) and a new way of chaining authentication mechanisms. As for Python 2.7, I think it should be supported but I haven't tested it. There could be new deprecation warnings, but compatibility breaks are somewhat unlikely since the Python team tries to avoid those. The compatibility issue from 2.4 to 2.5 was kind of a fluke. -Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
