ok, apparently you can restrict permissions in your svn repository to specific users, but you need to sell your immortal soul to the heathen gods of apache (or read the link provided by hafez, chapter 6)
First add the following directive in your svn config file AuthzSVNAccessFile /absolute/path/to/file (will use /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz) in dav_svn.authz you add the permissions as you like, for example: [/project] faisal = rw hafez = r this will grant me read and commit privileges to the folder project and all sub-folders. while hafez would only have read privileges. Other interesting options: [/] * = r This allows all users to checkout and update from your repository. Even anonymous. [groups] group1 = user1, user2,user3 group2 = user1,user4 group3 = @group1, user5 [/xyz/abc] @group2 = r This allows creating groups to more easily manage users. [/abc] faisal = rw [/abc/xyz] faisal = Faisal would have read and commit permissions on the abc folder and all sub folders, but those permissions would be revoked inside the /abc/xyz folder. If you have more than one project inside your repo, that requires some extra handling when you specify the folder [/abc], but since i only have one project, i'll read about that later. In the meantime, hope somebody benefits from this. -- Al-Faisal El-Dajani Phone: +962-7-77 799 781 P.O Box: 140056 11814 Amman, Jordan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jolug" group.
