apache2 subversion repository browsing
Hi,
I run an apache2 server that hosts several SVN repositories. SVN works,
authorization works, Repository Browsing works.
Now I am looking for a way to show a list of all repositories hosted.
I provide the repositories via the "SVNParentPath" directive.
SVNParentPath points to a directory where all repositories are stored.
AuthzSVN manages the authorization.
So when I browse to the URL "www.myserver.at/repos/somerepository/" I
can browse in the repository "somerepository". But when I browse to
"www.myserver.at/repos/" I get a "403 Forbidden" error (after
authentication).
Is it possible to list all hosted repositories automatically? Or even
better only the repositories where the user has access to?
Thanks,
-adi

Getting into access models can get..... interesting. But I find the ViewVC
tool to be very helpful. Formerly called ViewCVS, it's been expanded to
handle SVN as well. It's at http://viewvc.tigris.org.
The SVN access tool doesn't seem to really have a model of what to do if
you're looking directly at the ParentPath location of all the Subversion
locations. You could build something cute to do it, if you like.

Thanks, now it somehow works, but I still have permission problems.
I have to add
[/]
@<everyone>=r
to the access policies part of the configuration. But then everyone
would have read access to all repositories, unless I explicitly exclude
him from every repository he should not have access to. Is it possible
to make the SVNListParentPath accessible to everyone without giving
everyone access to all repositories?
Thanks,
-adi

Hello,
That's a known bug, I've seen it somewhere but I dont really remember where.
A partial workaround would be :
Replace
<Location /repos>
by
<Location /repos/>
and access via
http://www.myserver.at/repos/
instead of
http://www.myserver.at/repos
That works.

Thanks for the hint, but after upgrading to SVN1.3 (and the two modules
of Apache) the Forbidden Error still stays.
It has to do with the access-policies, because when I do not include the
svn-access-file, ListParentPath works fine.
In the svn-access-file I just define groups users, and give them access
to the repositories, like
[gusp:/]
@svnadmin = rw
@gusp = rw
How can I give users read access to the parent path?
I tried "auth-access = read" and
[/]
@svnadmin = r
without success.
btw is there some kind of documentation of the apache modules?
Thanks,
-adi

Get Subversion 1.3 and add "SVNListParentPath on" to your Location
section.

I don't think that capability is available built-in, no. There are,
of course, a variety of third-party repository browsing solutions
available, one of which may have this feature.
