Convert svn passwd file to htpasswd

Question

I would like to import the usernames and passwords in the svn/conf/passwd file into apache's htpasswd format. Is there any utility that can help me?

Answer 1

I don't know of a direct utility, but you can probably rig one up with sed and htpasswd, e.g.

sed -ne "s/\(.*[^ ]\) *\= *\([^ ].*\)/htpasswd -b password_file \"\1\" \"\2\"/p"
    < svn/conf/passwd > out.sh

to build a script that'll hopefully generate the file for you. Untested, sorry - don't have apache to hand. You'll need to create the password file first.
