1 If you do an svn co, and then install from the generated WC, the makefile
2 copies .svn directories to various locations:
4 $ find ~/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/ -name ".svn"
5 /home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/smileys/.svn
6 /home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/subpage/.svn
7 /home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/wikiicons/.svn
8 /home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/templates/.svn
10 I think the guilty command is this one:
12 cp -aL basewiki/* /home/glasserc/ikidev-install//share/ikiwiki/basewiki
14 (PREFIX is ~/ikidev-install here.)
16 I don't know of a good fix. I wouldn't have discovered this except that I got
17 permission denied errors when I tried to make a change and install again.
