RT 4.2.12 with plugins but neither installed using CPAN

hey,

=== Q1 running RT from GIT + plugin from GIT ===

i want to get the REST2 plugin, and later my own plugin going with RT
4.2.12 but i don't want to install either using CPAN yet as i want to
modify the sources.

is there a way like placing a symlink in rt/lib to rt-extension-rest2/
../../rt-extension-rest2/lib/RT/Extension/REST2* or something similar?

=== Q2 extension install path ===

if i install a extension it will usually be installed into the /rt path
and not as normal CPAN modules into $somewhere from where it is
referenced using PERL5LIB

is that the only way to install a plugin?

===

thanks for help!

regards,
joachim & paul
