I think I was attempting to duplicate the tree to test certain aspects while reverting some other local changes. Therefor I wanted the symbolic links to be self contained. But indeed my patch is broken. It would actually need something like "--target-directory=" which seem to be GNU extension to 'ln' and therefor less portable. Another alternative would be to 'cd' into each directory prior to creating the symbolic link. > > Yet this patch also includes the adaption of > > CONFDIR to actually install into /usr/local/ since I that seems to be > > what is expected later: > > A local install currently installs completely into /usr/local/gnue/, > which is not FHS compilant.

However, technically > it should work both ways. ACK. I'll keep the change local for now. Once I understand more of the current SVN-symlink infrastructure I can figure out how this could fix in the greater picture.
