Installing contrib stuff (e.g. svnmucc)
I've been working on packaging up (RPM) Subversion for our internal use
and I wanted to install a couple of the standalone tools under contrib,
but although there are Makefile targets to compile them, there doesn't
appear to be a way to install them. Am I being blind? I know I can use
'libtool mode=install ..." but this requires encoding the path to the
file itself into the RPM script, which is less than elegant. Besides,
all that libtool does (apparently) is just copy the .lib/{FILENAME} version.
Is it possible to add install targets for all of the contrib tools that
already have build targets? Is there already a way to do it that isn't
documented?
TIA
John

INSTALL and tools_contrib.html seem like good places for related text. Go
for it!

How about you instead move svnmucc into the subversion directory,
making it a full-fledge tool? We talked about this a while ago,
with no objections, and quite a lot of support. It just needs
someone to do it...

Found that seconds after I sent the last messages. It _still_ isn't
documented anywhere, though. Should I prepare a patch for INSTALL, the
book, http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html, or the source
code for svnmucc itself??? ;-)

Your defense is no good, because there's nothing magic about
"install-tools". :-) The knowledge you lack is that Subversion's make
targets exist in two files: Makefile and build-outputs.mk. It is in the
latter where "install-tools" is defined.
$ grep install-tools Makefile build-outputs.mk
build-outputs.mk:install-tools:
tools/server-side/svn-populate-node-origins-index$(EXEEXT)
contrib/client-side/svnmucc/svnmucc$(EXEEXT)

But in my defense, 'install-tools' is a "magic Makefile target" that
doesn't exist as an actual line in the Makefile (nor is it documented
anywhere that I could find, hint, hint)...

Right. "make install tools" basically means "make install && make tools".
Not quite what you wanted. :-)

Ah, I tried 'make install tools', but not with a hyphen. I'll give that
a shot on Monday (my VPN is currently down)...

Do 'make install-tools' and/or 'make install-contrib' do what you want?
