I noticed that Bo has written the page

He says that it's basically a snapshot of INSTALL.scons, so I just
wondered if some of you developers would like a wiki directive that let's
you include a file from the SVN repository?
Lars is going to (?) install a web interface of our svn repository
(forget the software name, it is something sourceforge uses). After
that, you need only copy a webpage, instead of retrieving it using the
svn interface.
Yes, I'm impatiently waiting for it :-) If nothing else, I'd like DavSVN.
Either solution will then make it very easy for us to create a link that
points to a file inside the SVN repository. I intend to make something
like this on a wiki page:
SVN:/path/.../file.C
to be converted into a link to the corresponding file. This would for
instance make it very ease to make a page that contain links to the
various LyX documentation files.
Anyway, I'd just like to emphasize that what I was suggesting wasn't
linking to files in the repository, but *embedding* the file. The
difference is that it's very easy to for instance embedd a README inside a
wiki page, and then if so desired add comments above/below the embedded
file.
If I understood you correctly, you suggested just copying the content from
a SVN interface web page into the wiki page, which works of course. The
big drawback as I see it is that you have to remember to repeate the copy
and paste when the file is modified...
