How to setup a server to follow development?

[ispcomm]

I would like to follow development of ispcp on a test server (debian).

I am wondering what would be the best setup to be able to "svn update" my local tree and test slight mods in "real time".

Currently I have to svn update then make install and then go trough the "perl ispcp-update" script that takes ages.

There must be a simpler and more direct way, specially for small daily updates where ispcp-update really is not updating from an "old" version but from "yesterday".

I would like to get an idea on how you devs have solved this problem. Do you work in /var/www/ispcp (and have your repository there) or do you copy every changed file over and over to /var/www.... perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

PS: Yes... i like to tweak things around and I want to understand how development works in ispcp so I can fix myself out if I need to ;-)
