I know. However only part of the code is in SVN at that location, and it has as yet no documentation apart from a very basic start. The service also depends on crontabs (I assume; I've not yet investigated) and httpd.conf (which I have found in SVN) in order to make sensible patches possible. And unlike projects-new, someone needs to login to update the code from SVN when patches are to be applied. > --Rich > > > -- > Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen > http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
