Hi!
- added info on how to get 2.x
- merged mod_perl_cvs
Notes:
Maybe instead of mod_perl_cvs a short example on how to get the cvs with
anoncvs would be enough. Or the general infos (Name of Server, password,
name of project), plus anoncvs example?
1.0/faqs/mod_perl_cvs could be removed
Maybe add a line to Description stating that 2.x is BETA and 1.x is the
current stable release to be use in a production environment.

+[META: delete all this text and leave only the anoncvs section ?]
-=over
+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.
+
+It's recommended to subscribe to the L<modperl-cvs|maillist::list-cvs> list,
+which is the place cvs commit logs and diffs are mailed to; at least
+if you're going to work on the code.
+
+Here are the several ways to access the cvs tree.
-=item *

+=item * cvsup
-The latest CVS snapshot: http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/modperl/
+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 synchronisation of repositories
+or checked out files using the cvs deltas to bring the client side
+files up to date with minimal data transfer.
-For more information about using the cvs distribution refer to the
-L<mod_perl_cvs|faqs::mod_perl_cvs> document.
+For a FreeBSD cvsup client see:
-=item *
+http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=cvsup&stype=all
-Anonymous CVS:
+Others (SunOS, alpha.osf, linux, Solaris2.4, HPAA 10.2, irix)
+ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/
-To checkout a fresh copy from anoncvs use:
+Here's a config file for the client (cvsup) to sync modperl sources.
- % cvs -d ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic" login
+ *default tag=.
+ # comment out the above if you want the raw cvs files
-with the password I<anoncvs>.
+ *default host=cvs.apache.org
+ *default prefix=/path/on/this/machine/to/install/
+ # a subdir for modperl will appear here ^^^
- % cvs -d ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic" co modperl
+ *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
+
+=item * anoncvs
+
+To checkout a fresh copy from anoncvs use with the password "anoncvs".
+
+ % cvs -d ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic" login
+ % cvs -d ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic" co modperl
