Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer 2/2] common: pinning: use pve-iface regular expression for validation
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 19:07:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126180819.817240-3-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251126180819.817240-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com>
the previous attempts at mimicking the `pve-iface` validation in
pve-common mis-read the validation, or missed some corner-cases.
So instead of trying to rebuild a regex validation, simply copy the
regular expression from pve-common. Following the recommendation at
https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/#overview by using RegexBuilder for
case-insensitive matching.
I kept the length-check at {1,20}, to have this as close to the
original as possible, as we restrict the length to 15 in the checks
before anyways.
Fixes: 47700a5 ("common: pinning: require first character to be lower-case ascii")
