SVN::Access - Perl extension to manipulate SVN Access files
use SVN::Access;
my $acl = SVN::Access->new(acl_file => '/usr/local/svn/conf/my_first_dot_com.conf');
# add a group to the config
$acl->add_group('stooges', qw/larry curly moe shemp/);
# write out the acl (thanks Gil)
$acl->write_acl;
# give the stooges commit access to the production version of
# our prized intellectual property, the free car giver-awayer..
# (thats how we get users to the site.)
$acl->add_resource(
# resource path
'/free_car_giver_awayer/branches/prod_1.21-sammy_hagar',
# permissions
'@stooges' => 'rw',
);
$acl->write_pretty; # with the equals signs all lined up.
SVN::Access includes both an object oriented interface for manipulating SVN access files (AuthzSVNAccessFile files), as well as a command line interface to that object oriented programming interface (svnaclmgr.pl) in the examples/ directory.
the constructor, takes key / value pairs. only one is required.. in fact only one is used right now. acl_file.
Example:
my $acl = SVN::Access->new(acl_file => '/path/to/my/acl.conf');
adds a resource to the current acl object structure. note: the changes are only to the object structure in memory, and one must call the write_acl method, or the write_pretty method to commit them.
Example:
$acl->add_resource('/',
rick => 'rw',
steve => 'rw',
gibb => 'r',
);
removes a resource from the current acl object structure. as with add_resource these changes are only to the object structure in memory, and must be commited with a write_ method.
Example:
$acl->remove_resource('/');
returns an array of resource objects, takes no arguments.
Example:
for($acl->resources) {
print $_->name . "\n";
}
resolves a resource name to its SVN::Access::Resource object.
Example:
my $resource = $acl->resource('/');
adds a group to the current acl object structure. these changes are only to the object structure in memory, and must be written out with write_acl or write_pretty.
Example:
$acl->add_group('stooges', 'larry', 'curly', 'moe', 'shemp');
removes a group from the current acl object structure. these changes are only to the object structure in memory, and must be written out with write_acl or write_pretty.
Example:
$acl->remove_group('stooges');
returns an array of group objects, takes no arguments.
Example:
for($acl->groups) {
print $_->name . "\n";
}
resolves a group name to its SVN::Access::Group object.
Example:
$acl->group('pants_wearers')->add_member('ralph');
takes no arguments, writes out the current acl object structure to the acl_file specified in the constructor.
Example:
$acl->write_acl;
the same as write_acl, but does it with extra whitespace to line things up.
Example:
$acl->write_pretty;
does a pre-flight check of the acl, and returns any errors found delimited by new lines. this routine is called by write_acl and write_pretty, where these errors will be considered fatal. be sure to either call this before $acl->write_*, OR use eval { } to capture the return of verify_acl into $@.
Example:
if (my $error = $acl->verify_acl) {
print "Problem found in your ACL: $error\n";
} else {
$acl->write_acl;
}
adds an alias to [aliases], takes 2 arguments: the alias name and the aliased user.
Example: $acl->add_alias('mikey', 'uid=mgregorowicz,ou=people,dc=mg2,dc=org');
removes an alias by name, takes the alias name as an argument.
Example: $acl->remove_alias('mikey');
returns the value of an alias, uses exists() first so it will not autovivify the key in the hash.
Example: print $acl->alias('mikey') . "\n";
returns a hashref that contains the aliases. editing this hashref will edit the data inside the $acl object.
Example: foreach my $alias (keys %{$acl->aliases}) { print "$alias: " . $acl->aliases->{$alias} . "\n"; }
