RE: [ACL] Standard privileges for DeltaV operations?

I think it is too early to guess what an interoperable set of versioning
privileges would be.  In particular, it is unlikely that the underlying
repository privileges will be in terms of the particular methods that we
introduced in DeltaV.  There is likely to be a "read" and
"write" privilege, but not nearly as likely to be a separate "checkin" vs.
"uncheckout" privilege (i.e. you can checkin, but you can't uncheckout,
or vica versa).

So I'd suggest sticking with the generic privileges that we currently have
(i.e. DAV:read, DAV:write, etc).

Cheers,
Geoff

Subject: [ACL] Standard privileges for DeltaV operations?

So, now that the DeltaV specification has been approved, it begs the
question of whether the Access Control Protocol should define some access
privileges for versioning operations.

The following privileges make sense to me:

DAV:checkout - controls CHECKOUT
DAV:checkin - controls CHECKIN
DAV:uncheckout - controls UNCHECKOUT
DAV:report - controls REPORT
DAV:version-control - controls VERSION-CONTROL

So, minimally we would cover versioning capability, where I'm hoping there
is a lot of commonality among the access control mechanisms of existing
repositories.

Thoughts?
