+> I work with Ikiwiki from the git checkout directory the following way.
+>
+> * instead of running ikiwiki, I wrote the following `mykiwiki` shell script,
+> that also allows me to use my custom lib-ifited multimarkdown:
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ MMDSRC="$HOME/src/multimarkdown/lib"
+ IKIWIKISRC="$HOME/src/ikiwiki"
+ PLUGINS="$HOME/src/ikiplugins"
+
+ /usr/bin/perl -I"$MMDSRC" -I"$IKIWIKISRC/blib/lib" -I"$PLUGINS" "$IKIWIKISRC/ikiwiki.out" -libdir "$IKIWIKISRC" "$@"
+
+> * I also have an installed ikiwiki from Debian unstable, from which I only use the base wiki, so my `.setup` has the following configs:
+
+ # additional directory to search for template files
+ templatedir => '/home/oblomov/src/ikiwiki/templates',
+ # base wiki source location
+ underlaydir => '/usr/share/ikiwiki/basewiki',
+ # extra library and plugin directory
+ libdir => '/home/oblomov/src/ikiwiki',
+
