Regular expression in the access file
Is it possible to use regular expression in the access file?
I am serving a repository using Apache 2.2.11 and Subversion 1.6.5. My configuration has the following
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/etc/svn-test.passwd
My repository has the following structure
<product>/<version>/<test|cand>
So something like
dip
|--1.10
|---test
|---cand
|--1.11
|---test
|---cand
|--1.20
|---test
|---cand
The access for all tests area the same and the access to all cands are the same too.
My access file looks like
[/]
* = r
[/dip/1.10/test]
@dev = rw
[/dip/1.10/cand]
@test = rw
[/dip/1.11/test]
@dev = rw
[/dip/1.11/cand]
@test = rw
[/dip/1.20/test]
@dev = rw
[/dip/1.20/cand]
@test = rw
I know that I could reorganize the repository so that I could write the access file as
[/]
* = r
[/dip/test]
@dev = rw
[/dip/cand]
@test = rw
But this would be a huge task which I am not willing to do, as I'd rather have a bigger access file instead.
But I was wondering if I could use some regular expression, so that I could use
[/]
* = r
[/dip/*/test]
@dev = rw
[/dip/*/cand]
@test = rw
Of course the * is a too generic expression. I have actually tried with * and it doesn't seem to work, but maybe it's just because it should be quoted, or * is not valid, or some other reason.
I didn't find anything about this in the archive, and before embarking in finding the correct expression I wanted to check with you guys if it is at all possible. The book doesn't say anything either way.
Thanks

Yeah, kind of. More issue 2662 than 2958. The ability to use the asterisk would work for me, but I was looking to see if it was possible to use regular expression rather than just wildcard. That's probably also why I didn't find anything in the archive.

Is this similar to issue 2958 or issue 2662?
