Daemon to maintain authz files for Apache Subversion

About the SVNAuthz Service

This daemon uses pubsub to watch for both:

template/defition changes for authz files
LDAP group changes to fill into the template(s).

If either are detected, an updated asf-authorization and pit-authorization file will be generated in the directory specified as output_dir in the svnauthz.yaml.erb template found in the subversion_server module.

SVNAuthz Service configuration

This service uses the ASF's pipservice Puppet class to operate and configure the daemon, and is deployed using the custom subversion_server::svnauthz class.

Encrypted vars used to generate svnauthz.yaml from template are handled by and scoped for the subversion_server::svnauthz class.

These values are defined in the encrypted nodefile for the host running the service.

This service runs as www-data. The installation directory: /opt/svnauthz and its contents are owned by www-data:www-data

This service is deployed and runs as a systemd service unit.
