Bryan,
Wait a few days till the devs ship 1.3 and then introduce it again :)
No seriously. The use regular expressions in the authz_svn module has been
discussed on the dev list before, there's even been a patch submitted
to that list:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-02/0631.shtml
It wasn't accepted though, and the author seems to have given up on it.
Last week I described on this list how regular expressions would help me
manage the 50+ projects we will have to maintain next year.
( see http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-12/0887.shtml, the last 10
lines ).
We have two use cases for regular expressions:
1. wildcard matching of paths, to allow groups automatic write access on
all branches of the same type.
2. capturing groups: reuse the name of the repository as prefix for the
group name, so not all 50 repositories have to be configured individually.
A typical svnaccess.conf with reg. ex. would look something like this
( might not be technically correct ):
[groups]
a001_dev = account1, account2
a001_admin = account3
# access definition ( where ?P<repo> is a named capturing group regex )
[(?P<repo>.*):/]
@(?P=repo)_admin = rw
[(?P<repo>.*):/branches/DEV_(.*)]
@(?P=repo)_dev = rw
...
What are your or other peoples requirements? Would be nice to finish a
complete
proposal here.
Lieven.
