My TODO before RC1

Metze,

You asked for my TODO list before (and after, at this rate) RC1 to see
if others might be able to help.

It is (in rough order):
 - Call for last changes to our WHATSNEW
 - Find out if what (else!) folks need to be in RC1 beyond what is
already discussed.
 - Sort out ACLs after classicupgrade.  Essentially I think the issue is
that the idmap isn't reflexive.  I'm trying to implement the posix ACL
hash stuff we discussed a couple of months ago. 
 - have 'waf dist' run source3/autogen.sh and incorporate the outputs. 
   - this would be easier if that script would run with builddir !=
srcdir so we could just point it at a blank directory and collect the
outputs (but certainly don't have the energy for that). 
 - Merge the outstanding patches from Christof Schmitt
<christof.schmitt at us.ibm.com>.  
  - The PAC patch looks good.  However, as has been ovbious over the
past week, I'm a stickler for testing, and I'm still waiting for the
tests for the PAC patch.  I prepared the framework in winbind.pac but I
was leaving this to Chrisof to finish.  
  - The rfc2307 idmap patch seems like a reasonable idea, except for the
user/group suffixes (I still dislike them as a concept, even if they are
required).  However, I again would like some tests - particularly
because we already have folks complaining that idmap_ad doesn't work,
and re-using the tests in that configuration could prove that either way
(idmap_ad is also modified by the patch). 
 - Do the DNS tests that I promised Kai earlier this evening
 - Have the WAF and autoconf config.h be identical (enough).  The great
work by Björn Jacke <bjacke at samba.org> to merge and finish my quota
patches means we are close, with only some waf quota checks to go. 
 - Run a wintest before doing RC1. 
 - Look into the patch for ntlm_auth TLS channel binding.  (There is no
practical way i can do this for RC1, but it's almost a year since the
patch was posted)
 - Look into the whole 'map untrusted to domain' saga properly.  Make
winbind return a special NTSTATUS return if the 'authoriative' flag is
not set, rather than basing things on the known list of domains.
 - many other things I can't think of at this time of night.

I plan RC1 on Wednesday, and I don't have a clone army, so clearly I
won't get most of this done.  Any assistance would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
