I've just committed a change to the Makefile to accept a PREFIX variable, so you can "svn up" your local working copy now and then set "PREFIX" in your Makefile to point to /usr/local and "sudo make install" into /usr/local. For testing out things locally, it's easier to simply do a "make test" in the working copy - this does not need superuser permissions and runs gPodder from the working copy. Enjoy, Thomas
