       mod_perl_cvs - Access to the mod_perl CVS development tree

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       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.

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       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
       modperl-cvs@apache.org 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.

       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=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
           See http://dev.apache.org/anoncvs.txt.  The difference
           is that you use "modperl" instead of "apache-x.x".

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

           http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/modperl/

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

           http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/
