NAME
svnwrap - Umask wrapper for subversion client commands
SYNOPSIS
svnwrap
{program}
[args...]
DESCRIPTION
svnwrap
is a simple shell script to work around permission problems when
sharing Subversion repositories between multiple local users.
svnwrap
can be used either by specifying a particular
subversion
client command on the command line, or by invoking it by the same name
as the desired client command, via a symlink.
svnwrap
sets the
umask
to 002, then launches the appropriate
subversion
client command. For complicated reasons, this is needed when using the
clients with
BDB-format
repositories, but not for
FSFS-format
ones.
EXAMPLES
To create a new BDB-format shared repository (note that FSFS-format
shared repositories should also be created this way):
svnwrap svnadmin create --fs-type=bdb
/path/to/repo
chgrp -R
shared_group /path/to/repo
The following line in
/etc/inetd.conf
can be used to serve
svn://
URLs:
svn stream tcp nowait
my_svn_user
/usr/bin/svnwrap svnserve svnserve -i -r
/srv/svn
The following commands enable use of
svnwrap
for local
file:///
and remote
svn+ssh://
URLs:
ln -s /usr/bin/svnwrap /usr/local/bin/svn
ln -s /usr/bin/svnwrap /usr/local/bin/svnserve
svn
is used for local
file:///
URLs, and
svnserve
is invoked by remote users of
svn+ssh://
URLs.
BUGS
If you symlink the
svn
binary to
svnwrap,
as shown in one of the examples,
all local users' working copies will also use the new
umask.
Be sure to warn your users about this, as security-related surprises
are rarely pleasant.
