allow only selected files through apache/dav

[Lee Harr <mi...@hotmail.com>]

Hi;

I have a subversion repository set up with webdav access through
apache. Developers connect through ssl and use digest auth. That
is working fine.

For a few of the files, I want to allow anonymous browsing.

The problem is that most of the files have a copyright restriction
not allowing open posting on the net. So, I just want to pick 4
files from trunk that will be openly available. (read-only of course)

I am trying to work out the apache configuration magic that will just
allow anonymous access to those 4 files in trunk.

If I do something like this ...

<Location /anon>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /home/rsvn/repo1/
        SVNPathAuthz off

    <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>

</Location>

Then the whole repo is available. How can I restrict it so that only
the files control.c, autonomous.c, user_routines.c and user_routines.h
are available?

Thanks for any help.

Someone with authz experience will probably be able to give you a  
recipe. But it seems to be like it might be simpler and less  
dangerous if you just put those four files on a web server somewhere,  
outside of your repository, and make those available. You could make  
sure they're always up-to-date by updating them in a post-commit hook  
any time they're modified...
