Hi there, I am really interested in a cookbook-svn-repository (although I am more a receipe user than a receipe author). A 'skin/' directory would be great to.

This can be used to create links to external subversion repositories. Using this feature, you only need to set up your own subversion repository, create a 'Cookbook' folder and add links to all the receipes you are interested in. # the general set-up would be something like this: > svn checkout https://my-subversion-server.com/trunk/MyHomePage > cd MyHomePage > svn mkdir Cookbook > svn propedit svn:externals Cookbook # an editor pops up allowing you to specify all the receipes you are interested in # the format is something like this: Receipe1 https://pmwiki-svn-server.org/trunk/Cookbook/Receipe1 Receipe2 https://pmwiki-svn-server.org/trunk/Cookbook/Receipe2 ... # now you only need to save the changes and to exit the editor # and commit with 'svn commit' Now, you just need to 'svn update' and all receipes are updated automatically. > > >> 4.

I hope, that encourages you to set up a cookbook/skin subversion repository :-) Cheers, Martin.
