So let me see if I understand this..
You have your publication directory containing all the source files.
Then you build it and files get placed into the build directory. Then
any future changes you make from the GUI only affect the build
directory? So the source files are only a once off kind of thing? And if
you wanted to do any backups, it would be the build directory you would
want to backup?
thank you :)

Yes .. we've come accross this problem too. Its very hard to separate things
like that (ie the actual content) from the publication. I'd suggest copying
the .iml files back to your source directories(ie make them the default like
user lenya and alice are), so that when you install/reinstall (or like in
my case deploy publications to a different box) you dont worry about it.
Obviously this approach is not flexible and you'd have to copy the files
manually everytime the password changes.

Hi all,
I'm trying to keep my publication as separate from the Lenya files as
possible. I've followed the tutorial's howto on this
http://lenya.apache.org/1_2_x/how-to/new_publication.html And can now
have a completely separate directory. Great so far.
However, say, when creating a new user from the GUI, the .iml file gets
placed in
<lenya
home>/build/lenya/webapp/lenya/pubs/<my-publication>/config/ac/passwd/<user>
.iml
But I want it to create the .iml file in my publication directory
outside of the core Lenya files. This is mainly so I can backup just my
files, then say, re-install Lenya again another time and not have to
worry about my files that are sitting within it.
For the user files, you can specify the directory in config/ac/ac.xconf.
A common practise is to use symlinks for directories that are changed
by Lenya.
