=head1 NAME CVS - Access to the Embperl CVS development tree =head1 DESCRIPTION The Embperl development tree lives on the same machine as perl.apache.org. This tree contains the latest Embperl bug fixes and developments that have not made it to CPAN yet. Welcome to the bleeding edge. =head1 SYNOPSIS Just as cvs access to the Apache development tree, the Embperl 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 Embperl 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. Here are the several ways to access the cvs tree. =over 4 =item 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 Embperl 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 embperl #modperl #apache-src #apache-docs #uncomment these three for the latest apache src, docs and/or mod_perl # if you want them =item anoncvs See http://dev.apache.org/anoncvs.txt. The difference is that you use "embperl" instead of "apache-x.x". =item from-cvs A snapshot is rolled of the Embperl tree every 6 hours and placed here: http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/embperl/ A snapshot of the Apache development tree is also rolled every 6 hours and placed here: http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/ and mod_perl can be found here http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/modperl/ =back =head1 MAILING LIST There is a cvs mailing list for Embperl (This is B a list for asking questions about Embperl!!!). This list receives all changes which are commited to the cvs. If you want to know whats going on which Embperl, you can subcribe by sending a mail to B with B in the body. =head1 SEE ALSO cvs(1) mod_perl_cvs.pod
