mod_perl_cvs(3)
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 con-
tains 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 com-
pile 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 con-
figurations 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 reposito-
ries 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
