Q: commit-access-control.cfg file

[Brent Webster <br...@liquidcomputing.com>]

Using commit-access-control.pl with commit-access-control.cfg, I want to
filter read-write access on a particular file extension. (i.e. *.spec).
I want my packaging prime to be the only person to update the rpm spec
files.  Of course, these file are located at various directory levels.
 
Tried

	[*.dd file only update]
	match   = *.dd
	users   = brentwebster
	access  = read-write

but it generated the error:
svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:
/server/svn/repos/tools/hook-scripts/commit-access-control.pl: config
file `/server/svn/repos/playzone/hooks/commit-access-control.cfg'
section `*.dd file only update' `match' regex `*.dd' does not compile:
Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <-- HERE
.dd/ at /server/svn/repos/tools/hook-scripts/commit-access-control.pl
line 160.
 
I tried various other regex but they failed so what am I missing? escape
characters, good documentation, what?
 
Your help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks, Brent

I'm not a commit-access-control.pl user, let alone an expert, but for 
regular expressions in general (as opposed to command line globbing) 
an '*' on its own doesn't mean anything. Your match in regexp speak 
should be something like:

   .*\.dd

The first '.' means any character. The '*' modifies this to mean any 
number of any character (possible even zero). Then the second '.' is 
escaped with a '\'. Finally the dd extension.

Possible '.+\.dd' might be better + = one or more.

May I suggest taking a look at the svnperms.py and svnperms.conf files? They seem to work very well for precisely this sort of thing.
