[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#653491: schroot: Please support wildcards in users and groups

[Roger Leigh]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.23-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Please allow wildcards in users= and related keys.

Patch attached to permit the use of "*" to indicate that any
user/group or root-user/root-group matches all potential
users or groups, respectively.

Note that it will misbehave for a user or group named
"*", i.e. would grant additional privileges for other
users.  A regex would permit this to be escaped, due to
using ".*" in place of "*" and would also permit more
sophisticated matches e.g. "users.*".


Regards,
Roger
