mod_perl_cvs - Access to the mod_perl CVS development tree
<P>
<HR>
<H1><A NAME="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
<P>
The mod_perl development tree lives on the same machine as perl.apache.org.
This tree contains the latest mod_perl bug fixes and developments that have
not made it to CPAN yet. Welcome to the bleeding edge.
<P>
<HR>
<H1><A NAME="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</A></H1>
<P>
Just as cvs access to the Apache development tree, the mod_perl code pulled
from cvs is not guaranteed to do anything, especially not compile or work.
But, that's exactly why we are using cvs, so everyone has access the latest
version and can help see to it that mod_perl does compile and work on all
platforms, with the various versions and configurations of Perl and Apache.
Patches are always welcome, simply testing the latest snapshots is just as,
if not more helpful. When you build mod_perl, running 'make test_report'
will send a message to the <EM>modperl-cvs@apache.org</EM> list, which is the same place cvs commit logs and diffs are mailed to. The
message sent by test_report includes the output of 'make test', plus
version and configuration information for your Perl and Apache.
<P>
Here are the several ways to access the cvs tree.
<DL>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_cvsup">cvsup</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Cvsup has come out of the FreeBSD group. It's a client/server beast that
offers an efficient way to sync collections of files over the net, and it
is very CVS aware, allowing syncronisation of repositories or checked out
files using the cvs deltas to bring the client side files up to date with
minimal data transfer.
<P>
For a FreeBSD cvsup client see:
<P>

HREF="ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/">ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/</A>
<P>
Here's a config file for the client (cvsup) to sync modperl sources.
<P>
<PRE> *default tag=.
# comment out the above if you want the raw cvs files
</PRE>
<P>
<PRE> *default host=apache.org
*default prefix=/path/on/this/machine/to/install/
# a subdir for modperl will appear here ^^^
</PRE>
<P>
<PRE> *default base=/path/on/this/machine/where/cvsup/will/keep/status/info
# you'll never need to look in the 'base' dir.
</PRE>
<P>
<PRE> *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
</PRE>
<P>
<PRE> modperl
#apache-src
#apache-docs
#uncomment these two for the latest apache src and/or docs if you want them

<P>
See <A
HREF="http://dev.apache.org/anoncvs.txt.">http://dev.apache.org/anoncvs.txt.</A>
The difference is that you use ``modperl'' instead of ``apache-x.x''.
