Ask, you have misread my statement. I said when you do that for the first time (meaning, when you need your server to work yesterday and the current CVS version fixes the problem. Trying to discourage using CVS is the last thing I'd think about. I think I do more cvs commands per day than any other :) If you don't want all that, you probably don't want the unreleased version in the first place.

[newbie] diffs and cvs
I'll probably never be applying a lot of the diffs I see here, but I have to wonder, what are they made for? They only thing I know is they aren't made by diff for ed. Oh, and is there a place in the Guide for "getting the latest release from CVS," as is often recommended to mod_ers with troubles? -Josh "I thought of a really great .sig last night. That's about when I forgot it, too." --Josh Narins

Every Apache project rolls a new tgz of the cvs every 6 hours, you can grab the latest mod_perl CVS snapshot from http://perl.apache.org/from-cvs/modperl-2.0/, all the mod_perl related projects from http://perl.apache.org/from-cvs I'll update the Guide.

But it worth the hassle, if you want to use open source software and live on the cutting edge. For me it's more than that - even if you don't want to use the latest version all the time (which can be a bad idea if things haven't been tested enough), it's handy to be able to use the patching features, always know what changes have already been made but not released, see change logs, and so on. By far the easiest way to fix bugs and submit patches. ------ Ken Williams Last Bastion of Euclidity [EMAIL PROTECTED]The Math Forum
