Automaticlly map django groups to launchpad teams

[Thomas Bechtold]

Actually to use the lp-team<->django-group mapping, you have to define the variable OPENID_LAUNCHPAD_TEAMS_MAPPING {} for every group you want to map.
For loco.ubuntu.com, the teams change from time to time and it's impossible (or stupid) to change the django settings.py file every time the teams change.

It would be cool if the mapping is automatic. So if there are 3 django-groups, theses group are mapped automaticlly to lp-teams (and both have the same name, then).

This seems to be reasonable. I also don't see any security impact since groups have no meaning until permissions are
assigned to them.

Perhaps the LAUNCHPAD_TEAMS_MAPPING could be a way of restricting which groups get created so your database doesn't get
cluttered with groups.

i don't want to create groups automaticly. i want to get the membership for a user of all exisiting groups in the django-db.

Will the fix be rolled into a new release? :)

Like... today? :-D

On Friday we found some strange 500 errors when trying to use the
latest version of this code in production on ubuntu one. We're
investigating now, I think it would be better to fix this before
cutting a new release. Soon I hope!

@Elliot, Were these django side or launchpad side? Oddly, using this I encountered some odd LP-OOP's that were inconsistent and unable to reliably reproduce.

[Elliot Murphy (statik)]

the errors we were seeing were django side (i think). aquarius has
tracked it down to something that changed in revision 45 of
django-openid-auth. now to figure out why :)
