NAME

       SVN - Access to the Embperl SVN development tree

SVN Access

       The Embperl development tree lives on the machine svn.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.

       Just like SVN access to the Apache development tree, the Embperl code pulled from SVN is not guaranteed
       to do anything, especially not compile or work.  But - that's exactly why we are using SVN - so that
       everyone has access the latest version and can help ensure  that Embperl does compile and work on all
       platforms, with the various versions and configurations of Perl and Apache, once it is really supposed
       to.  Patches are always welcome. Simply testing the latest snapshots is just as (if not even more)
       helpful.

   Anonymous Subversion
       To access the Subversion repositories anonymously, you will need a Subversion client.  You can also
       browse the ASF projects that are using Subversion with a Webbroswer via http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/.

       Embperl can be found at the URL http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/

       To check it out use

         svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/trunk embperl

       To keep it up to date go into the embperl directory and run

         svn up

       For more help on using Subversion, consult the Subversion website (http://subversion.tigris.org/) or
       Subversion book (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/).  The web site provides a list of clients and useful links
       (http://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html).

   web-access
       As mentioned above you can browser the svn repository directly with a webbrowser at
       http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl

       A more confortable way is to use http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/perl/embperl/

   Snapshot
       A snapshot is rolled off the Embperl tree every 6 hours and placed here:

       http://svn.apache.org/snapshots/embperl/

   Embperl 1.x
       There is no further development in the Embperl 1.x branch, but case it will become necessary you can
       access the Embperl 1.x code via the branch ep1, so when you checkout just run

           svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/branches/ep1/

   MAILING LIST
       There is a SVN mailing list for Embperl (This is SVN - not a list for asking questions about Embperl!!!).
       This list receives all changes which are committed to the SVN. If you want to know what's going on which
       Embperl, you can subscribe by sending a mail to embperl-CVS-request@perl.apache.org with subscribe in the
       body.

   Building from SVN sources
       Before you can build Embperl from sources that are checked out from the SVN, you need to generate some
       glue code. This is done by the module ExtUtils::XSBuilder, so you need to install it first from CPAN.
       When it's installed run:

           perl xsbuilder/source_scan.pl
           perl xsbuilder/xs_generate.pl
           perl Makefile.PL
           make
           make test
           make install
