how do i configure access perms to certain dirs, across all branches,tags,trunk
etc
hi all,
am trying to convert our repository from cvs to svn. Am using svn1.2 and
apache2.0 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0
i've got the acess files and SSL authentication all set as per the svn
book. I read the part in the book about per directory access control for
harry and sally. However, there are no examples about how to control
this for the same dir, in all the branches, tags and trunk.
for example lets say i i have /src/gui and /src/solvers dirs in my
repository under all branches, tags and trunk so far( based on cvs2svn
conversion).
I have two dev groups : solverdev and guidev.
I want solverdev to access all dirs, but i dont want guidev to be able
to read or write to src/solvers at all.
how do i set this up using the apache access control file for svn?
maybe like this:?
===========================
[myrep:/]
@solverdev = tw
@guidev =
[myrep:/*/src/gui]
@guidev = rw
===========================
but there doesnt seem to be a way to use a wildcard in dir.....the
examples explicitly specify the branch name.
thanks for your help!

hi Ben,
thanks for the glimmer of hope that the svn developers are actually
aware of this and working on it! that makes me feel a little more
comfortable in switching to svn from cvs.
is it possible for your to send me a link to the relevant discussion on
the dev@ mailing list? i tried searching the archives, but was unable
to find the discussion on this. I'm very keen on keeping track of this
to see when the feature might be ready.
thanks!

Well, the per-path authz system used by mod_authz_svn is currently
being abstracted so that svnserve can use it as well. There's a good
chance that the authz abilities will also be expanded so that
wildcards can be used in the section headers (i.e. [/project/*/
foo]). You can follow the thread on the dev@ list.

oh man...that would be disastrous from the builds point of view ....when
we release a product i will have to branch each dir individually!
there must be a way in svn to do this right.......there's got to be.

Well, you would need to relayout your repository:
/gui/trunk
branches
tags
/solver/trunk
branches
tags

hi David,
thanks for your reply. unfortunately this wont help because i want to
restrict read and write access to an entire directory in the repository
(be in the branches or trunk or tags) to a certain users or groups of
users. Looks like svn cant really do this, unfortunately.

You can control read access via the .htaccess files in Apache. This is
not the preferred method since these files apply to the entire
subtree. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html for more
details.
If you don't care about read access, but only want to control write
access, use the Perl script that comes with Subversion in a pre-commit
hook script.
