I've got an initial setup of grouper for our institution (at least the
command line interface is working.) My host machine is Ubuntu, the database
is SQL Server.

While I've seen a few "getting started" docs on-line (which have been very
helpful,) I haven't come across anything that indicates any best practices
for the server configuration/administration.

I'm looking for advice on what to put where.

For example, I've set up a SVN working copy of:
http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/svn/i2mi/branches/GROUPER_1_5_BRANCH in
/usr/local/grouper

Example questions:

Is that a good idea?

Should I have just svn exported the repo into /usr/lib/tomcat/webapps ?

Should I symbolic link the UI into /usr/lib/tomcat/webapps ?

How will I deal with upodates in the repo, since I have to modify some of
them? Maybe files that will be edited at implementation shouldn't be in the
repo only templates (*.tmplate) of them?

Did I miss a guide that might help me with this setup? (while there is an
"Overview" it's an overview of the directory structure within Grouper, not
how that should be put on the server.)

I should note that my unfamiliarity of Java/Tomcat may be what's causing some
of my confusion.
