as far as i know there is no cvs set up for irrlicht. however, the source code for the latest release is included with the engine. just download it from the Downloads page.

why no cvs ? any plans to give anonymous cvs access ? i prefer updating sources with cvs instead of download the whole package every time...

Niko says he will put it into CVS at version 1.0. At this point, there is so many major changes in the basic architecture that he doesn't want people grabbing the CVS and having that pull be unusable or unstable while he is in the middle of making major changes that is causing it to be that way.

Personally, I like grabbing the CVS myself, but I know that it increases the question/complaint/support request dramatically. Then you start spending more time supporting people who only after 10 posts in a back and forth thread asking why something that works perfectly in the current release do they finally state that they were using a CVS pull that just happened to be grabbed in the middle of an architecture rewrite.
