Okay, I have a small plugin which I initially want to publish on my  
corp intranet so we can share it among our internal apps (if it proves  
worthwhile maybe I’ll push it beyond that). I’ve pushed the plugin  
folder to our svn server. I have added the svn repository to my  
plugin sources but ‘script/plugin list’ does not recognize any plugins  
in the repository nor does ‘script/plugin install’ pull out the one  
that I name.

What am I missing?

Thanks,  
AndyV

depending on the url of your plugin repository script/plugin is going to  
try to get it via http instead of using svn, so you’d need to have  
anonymous access via http for your svn repository in that case.

if that’s not possible for any reason, you can always make a svn co of  
your plugin then manually run install.rb

sorry for the autoreply, but i just realized it would be better a svn  
export than a svn co

Thanks for the tips. I’ll give it a try shortly.

Hi,

I just stumbled across this question a few minutes ago…

In my case it’s the svn repository, which needs authentification…

How do I execute the install.rb manually? “ruby install.rb” is of course  
not  
working…
