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
