ruby-afs's Introduction

ruby-afs

This is a very simple native extension for interacting with the AFS protection server database. Perhaps it could be extended to other AFS interfaces, but we don't have any need for that.

We use this module internally as part of a process that imports AFS protection groups into LDAP. You probably shouldn't want to use it, and for now we are not releasing it under a permissive license so technically you can't. Feel free to read the code and learn from it.

This was mostly written by Garrett Wollman in the late 2000s, with only minimal effort expended since then.

The extconf.rb file is unfortunately very specific to compiling on Debian/Ubuntu. Pre-requisites: heimdal-multidev and libopenafs-dev.

ruby-afs's Issues

extconf.rb hurts my soul

The current OpenAFS .debs contain shared libraries for the interfaces that the native code needs to call, but for some reason, the dynamic linker is unable to find them. It links just fine if you manually drag in the _pic archive libraries instead of using the shared objects, but then you also have to find and link against the relevant Heimdal libraries to get the right set of crypto routines, and that's really not the Right Way, and it's highly operating-system-specific. What we have right now is only good for Debian/Ubuntu (only tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with the OpenAFS PPA).

We should figure out what the cross-OS Right Way is and do that.
