newbie recipe question

Hello, I'm a newbie in creating recipes for poky and I'm running through a
series of problems.
I'm trying to make a recipe in order to build an ipk package containing a
series of webpages and scripts, I have them at a subversion repository.
For now it works simply by pointing at the svn repository and specifiing at
do_install every directories files to their destination. like this:
=======================================================================
SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"
PR = "${SRCREV}"

SRC_URI = "svn://server/svn/;module=webpackage;proto=http "

S = "${WORKDIR}"

do_install(){
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/etc/
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/www/
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/www/images
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/www/cgi-bin
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/www/includes
 install -m 0755 ${S}/*.htm ${D}/www/
install -m 0755 ${S}/*.css ${D}/www/
install -m 0755 ${S}/includes/* ${D}/www/includes/
install -m 0755 ${S}/cgi-bin/* ${D}/www/cgi-bin/
install -m 0755 ${S}/images/* ${D}/www/images/

}
=================================================================

Is there any other way to do this without having to specify the whole
subdirectory structure and every file extension? ( * is not working)
Since I'm adding and deleting files to my repository pretty frequently I
don't wan't having to modify the recipe each time.

Thank's

I'm no expert on this aspect of the build, but one option would be to 
use autotools to have a "make install" target and the poky recipe could 
use that. Alternatively I don't see any reason why you couldn't write an 
install script as part of your repository and just have do_install() 
call that.

You're right, you don't want to have much in the way of install logic in 
the recipe.

I haven't tested this locally, but I believe file globbing is supposed 
to work. Have you tried *.*?

Yes it works on files but not on subdirectories

Then I think Darren's suggestion is what you expect: write a install script which
contains all the tricks you want (subdirectory, *, ...), and then have do_install
invoke that script directly...

Thanks,
Kevin

Its not something I'd encourage but you could just do a cp -r (recursive
copy). You would then need to be careful about owners and permissions
though (which is why you'll see install being used most often).
