SVN podling access is currently managed through a file which can be updated by members of the pmc-chairs group. [And a few others such as infra/execs] So it is no only just the incubator chair who can update the file. [AFAIK, there aren't any separate LDAP groups for podlings; all podling SVN access groups are managed by that file.] > I *suggest* that incubator change the procedure such that all > committers (or at least all committers within a single LDAP > group) have access to all incubator areas and that new people > simply be requested to only commit within areas for which they > have been given permission by the podling developers.

This could also be given access to podling SVN directories. If the individual podling member lists were abandoned, I think there would still need to be a way to document the current members of a podling. The lists in the SVN auth file are currently used for that purpose (e.g. they are used in creating http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html) > ....Roy > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
