usermanager: Add back temporary is_admin to warn about deprecated API usage Goal: Introduce role-auth with minimal disruption is_admin() is unsafe in a system with per-session permissions, so it has been deprecated. Roll-out approach: 1) First, log a warning when is_admin() is used. It should continue to function normally, backed by the new role API. Nothing is really using per-session authz yet, so there is minimal security concern. The 'strict_deprecate_is_admin' global setting can be set to 'true' to force a hard failure of is_admin() attempts (it will log an error and always return false). 2) In some time (at least 1 week), but possibly longer depending on the number of affected deployments: switch 'strict_deprecate_is_admin' to 'true' by default. It can still be disabled for systems that need it. 3) Further in the future, before the next release, the option will be removed and is_admin() will be permanently disabled.

# Installing from source

## Dependencies

There are a couple of development packages which Prosody needs installed
before you can build it. These are:

-   The [Lua](http://lua.org/) library, version 5.4 recommended
-   [OpenSSL](http://openssl.org/)
-   String processing library, one of
    -   [ICU](https://icu.unicode.org/) (recommended)
    -   [GNU libidn](http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/)

These can be installed on Debian/Ubuntu by running
`apt build-dep prosody` or by installing the packages
`liblua5.4-dev`, `libicu-dev` and `libssl-dev`.

On Mandriva try:

	urpmi lua liblua-devel libidn-devel libopenssl-devel

On Mac OS X, if you have MacPorts installed, you can try:

	sudo port install lua lua-luasocket lua-luasec lua-luaexpat

On other systems... good luck, but please let us know of the best way of
getting the dependencies for your system and we can add it here.

## configure

The first step of building is to run the configure script. This creates
a file called 'config.unix' which is used by the next step to control
aspects of the build process.

	./configure

All options to configure can be seen by running

	./configure --help

## make

Once you have run configure successfully, then you can simply run:

   make

Simple? :-)

If you do happen to have problems at this stage, it is most likely due
to the build process not finding the dependencies. Ensure you have them
installed, and in the standard library paths for your system.

For more help, just ask ;-)

==== install ====

At this stage you should be able to run Prosody simply with:

   ./prosody

There is no problem with this, it is actually the easiest way to do
development, as it doesn't spread parts around your system, and you
can keep multiple versions around in their own directories without
conflict.

Should you wish to install it system-wide however, simply run:

   sudo make install

...it will install into /usr/local/ by default. To change this you can
pass to the initial ./configure using the 'prefix' option, or edit
config.unix directly. If the new path doesn't require root permission to
write to, you also won't need (or want) to use 'sudo' in front of the
'make install'.

Have fun, and see you on Jabber!
