Having float type as a base type for floating point parameters in ipalib introduces several issues, e.g. problem with representation or value comparison. Python language provides a Decimal type which help overcome these issues. This patch replaces a float type and Float parameter with a decimal.Decimal type in Decimal parameter. A precision attribute was added to Decimal parameter that can be used to limit a number of decimal places in parameter representation. This approach fixes a problem with API.txt validation where comparison of float values may fail on different architectures due to float representation error. In order to safely transfer the parameter value over RPC it is being converted to string which is then converted back to decimal.Decimal number on a server side. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2260 |

Extending FreeIPA ----------------- "Extending FreeIPA" is a developer guide to understand how FreeIPA core framework is built and how to extend it. The Guide is written using Emacs Org Mode, see http://orgmode.org/org.html for extensive manual of supported markup features. You don't need to use Emacs to edit it, the markup is a plain text. Building the guide ------------------ There is Makefile which can be used to convert the Guide from Emacs Org Mode format to different targets. Prerequisites: ============== On Fedora system following packages are required to generate The Guide: docbook-style-xsl fop emacs xmlto HTML, Docbook, and plain text --- As Org Mode is part of Emacs since version 22, building HTML, TXT, and Docbook targets requires Emacs v22 and above (tested with v23.3 in Fedora). PDF --- Building PDF is done first generating Docbook source, converting it to FO format, and then running 'fop' processor.
