Use the svnauthz-validate tool (probably packaged in the 'svn-tools' package of your OS, or 'make svnauthz-validate install-tools' if you build from source). Send patches against libsvn_repos/authz.c that add the section name, key name, line number, etc to the error message. http://subversion.apache.org/patches Thanks! > Cheers > > -- > Alvaro Gonzalez Alvarez IT/PES-IS > CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research > Phone: 0041 22 76 77 118 > 1211 Geneva - Switzerland, CERN Office: 31/1-026 > >
