When I install the http\_authentication plugin thusly:

$ script/plugin -v install  
[http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/http\_authentication/](http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/http_authentication/)  
Plugins will be installed using http  
fetching from ‘[http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/](http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/)  
http\_authentication/’

- ./http\_authentication/README
- ./http\_authentication/Rakefile
- ./http\_authentication/init.rb
- ./http\_authentication/test/basic\_test.rb
- ./http\_authentication/test/digest\_test.rb

… as you can see, it leaves out ./http\_authentication/lib.  
Consequently, this no workie.

Interestingly, the following does provide the lib directory:

$ script/plugin install -x  
[http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/http\_authentication/](http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/http_authentication/)

What’s the deal?

Thanks.
