[ ext/passenger ]
  Native extensions for Ruby, used by the spawn server.
[ ext/apache2 ]

[ bin ]
  Executables.
[ doc ]
  Various documentation.
[ test ]
  Unit tests and integration tests.

== Tests

Run all tests:

 rake

Run just the tests for the Apache 2 module:

 rake test:apache2

Run just the unit tests for the Ruby spawn server:

 rake test:ruby

Run just the integration tests:

 rake test:integration

*Note*: some tests, such as the ones that test privilege lowering, require
root privileges. Those will only be run if Rake is run as root.
