this is a very simple document that outlines some of the important
details about the mod_perl svn repository.


LAYOUT

the mod_perl project at the Apache Software Foundation lives here

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/

and uses the following structure

  modperl/trunk           # equivalent to cvs HEAD - currently
                          # the mod_perl 2.0 development branch

  modperl/tags            # every official mod_perl release

  modperl/docs/trunk      # the mod_perl documentation project

modperl/trunk includes the following svn:externals properties:

  % cd modperl
  % svn propedit svn:externals .
  [vi pops up]

DEVELOPER ACCESS

assuming that you have already been granted commit access to the repository,
you should follow the following steps to checkout mod_perl

Change your password via:
https://svn.apache.org/change-password

  $ svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/trunk/ mod_perl-2.0

if you want to test that your commit access is working, this file is
an acceptable place to take a test drive.
