NAME
mod_perl_cvs - Access to the mod_perl CVS development tree
DESCRIPTION
The mod_perl development tree lives on cvs.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.
SYNOPSIS
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.
It's recommended to subscribe to the modperl-cvs@perl.apache.org list,
which is the place cvs commit logs and diffs are mailed to; at least if
you're going to work on the code.
Here are the several ways to access the cvs tree.
cvsup
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.
For a FreeBSD cvsup client see:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=cvsup&stype=all
Others (SunOS, alpha.osf, linux, Solaris2.4, HPAA 10.2, irix)
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/
Here's a config file for the client (cvsup) to sync modperl
sources.
*default tag=.
# comment out the above if you want the raw cvs files
*default host=cvs.apache.org
*default prefix=/path/on/this/machine/to/install/
# a subdir for modperl will appear here ^^^
*default base=/path/on/this/machine/where/cvsup/will/keep/status/info
# you'll never need to look in the 'base' dir.
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
modperl
#apache-src
#apache-docs
#uncomment these two for the latest apache src and/or docs if you want them
anoncvs
To checkout a fresh copy from anoncvs use
cvs -d ":pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic" login
with the password "anoncvs".
cvs -d ":pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic" co modperl
