I am working on writing a simple plugin basically just to understand how  
to  
do it. My whole project is in svn and I did a script/generate plugin. I  
added a module in lib and a .js that needs to be moved to public. I have  
figured out enough from the tutorials how to get that script to copy  
over  
with install.rb and how to get the mixin added with init.rb. What I  
haven’t  
been able to do is simulate the installation of it (since my repo is ssl  
and  
password protected). Any ideas?

Thanks
