To build from a tarball, untar it and use the shipped install.sh.

To avoid an svn update each time, declare "block_step svn_up" in your
custom.sh.  If you need different paths, change REPOS_DIR and
REL_REPOS_DIR accordingly.  I usually only change GLOBAL_DIR, BTW.

As mentioned, debugging information can be found at
