Bug#158579: ITP: mouldavia -- True WebDAV home directories



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

MoulDAVia is a WebDAV server that provides true WebDAV home directories, as opposed to a simple shared area. Every user is authenticated against LDAP, and a separate thread then chroot()s to that user's home directory, and drops privileges to that user. You can use this to provide WebDAV-shared home directories, as opposed to just a shared area.

MoulDAVia is written in Python (beware: I taught myself Python by writing this, the code may suck), and uses OpenLDAP for authentication. It uses an XML file called ~/.mouldavia_props in every directory where custom WebDAV values are stored, to store said values.

I'm the upstream, and a URL will be coming soon - probably http://www.trinity.unimelb.edu.au/~dstone.

(Goddamnit, Mail.app can't GPG-sign messages. Lame).
