svn+ssh, authz and unix groups

[Bernd Kuemmerlen <bk...@gmx.net>]

Hello there,

we have a SVN 1.4.4 repository on a Mac OS X server which is accessed only
through svn+ssh. We now want to implement path-based authorization, and
since we already have unix-groups in place which we'd like to use to base
access on, I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow directly
reference the unix group membership within the authz file. Recreating the
groups "manually" (or even with a script) in the authz file seems
suboptimal to me.

Thanks for any hints on how to solve this.

Cheers
Bernd

I don't think so.

Maybe you could write a script to automatically create the authz file  
from the unix groups, and run this whenever you add a group (or  
periodically via cron or launchd).
