FGFS CVS Resources


Monday May 10, 2010: due to a hard drive crash, the FlightGear CVS server is offline. We have full backups so there is no lost information, however, we determined that our efforts would be better spent migrating our repository over to git instead of bringing the old cvs server back online. Onwards and upwards! Please be patient as we migrate our data over to gitorious.com. Git experts will probably be able to find the simgear and flightgear projects at gitorious and get started right away. We will update this page with specific check out instructions as soon as possible.


The Flight Gear source code and base package are managed with CVS (Concurrent Versions System.) CVS lets you check out your own copy of the latest source code (or even previous versions.) CVS will let you update your local copy to keep in sync with the master repostory as development progresses. It will even make it's best attempt to merge new repository versions in with your local changes.

The FlightGear base package repository (data files, textures, etc.) has moved to cvs.flightgear.org. Please follow the instructions below for checking out the source and base packages via CVS.
