NAME
       modperlcvs - Access to the modperl CVS development tree

DESCRIPTION
       The modperl development tree lives on cvs.apache.org.  This tree con-
       tains the latest modperl 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 modperl 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 modperl 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, HPA 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

           For a basic introduction to anoncvs see http:/dev.apache.org/anon-
           cvs.txt

       from-cvs
           A snapshot is rolled of the modperl tree every 6 hours and placed
           here:

           http:/cvs.apache.org/snapshots/modperl/

           A snapshot of the Apache development tree is also rolled every 6
           hours and placed here:

           http:/cvs.apache.org/snapshots/
