hello,

I generate website from templates. I use rake to generate it. My  
rakefile has following targets:

build  
clean

The directory layout is following:  
webdesign/ - root folder  
webdesign/conf - configuration files for generator  
webdesign/html - pages  
webdesign/images - images  
webdesign/stylesheets - stylesheets  
webdesign/templates - templates are here

webdesign/build - generated website go here

Everything is SVN controlled, except build/ folder.

I want to add a package target to my rakefile, but I am not sure where  
to put packages. If I create a pkg/ folder inside my project, do I need  
to keep all these packages in SVN too? What is the best practices for  
packages, directory layout and version control?
