IMPORTANT NOTES:

On March 2008, the SCP team has changed the repository server from CVS based to SVN based.

Some terms have also changed with the new repository server:

  • The stable branch (old CVS) is now called Trunk (new SVN).
  • HEAD revision (new SVN) is latest version. Do not confuse it with the unstable branch, also called HEAD branch, in old CVS.


Windows

Ported from karajorma's thread on the HLP Forums.

Here's how you set things up:

  • Go to the Tortoise SVN homepage and download the latest version.
  • Install it. You'll probably have to restart your PC afterwards.
  • Make a new folder on your HD where you'd like to install the code. You'll need a fair bit of space for the code + the intermediate files when building it. Press right mouse and choose SVN Checkout from the list.
A image from the forum is needed here
  • An new window will open up. Cut and paste this into the URL of repository box:
    svn://svn.icculus.org/fs2open/trunk/fs2_open
  • By default the HEAD revision will be selected. You probably don't want to change this. Your screen should now look like this:
Another image from the forum is needed here
  • Press OK to begin downloading from the repository.

It's pretty easy. It shouldn't take you more than a minute or two to do once you've installed Tortoise.

THIS PART IS OBSOLETE. SVN IS THE NEW SERVER RATHER THAN CVS. AN UPDATE IS NEEDED


into your console, type the following : 

cvs -z 3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/fs2source/cvsroot login

When prompted for a password, type : "anonymous" . Then, if you want the latest sources : 

cvs -z 3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/fs2source/cvsroot co fs2_open

If you want the stable branche instead, use the -r option for tags : 

cvs -z 3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/fs2source/cvsroot co -r fs2_open_3_6_9 fs2_open
