Irrlicht Engine

Without making it largely public Niko created an publically available CVS repository based on SourceForge CVS service.
YES It's true REALLY Some updates already available from CVS
Thank you Niko, I really appreciate this development

sweet!

Great news!

awesome!

i'm an noob in the cvs domain ...
any tutorial ?

Download, install and launch wincvs. http://www.wincvs.org/download.html

01. Click on the admin menu and click login. In the CVSROOT box type
":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/irrlicht" without quotes

02. Click the globals tab and ensure that File attribute and CVS Messages are set to default. Check the compression level box and set the value to 9.

03. When the password box comes up click ok (anonymous cvs does not need a password).

04. Ensure that in the message window it says "***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****"

05. Click on the Remote menu and select Checkout module. For the module name type Irrlicht. In the "Local folder to check out to" box type in the directory of where you want the files to be downloaded to and click OK.

After it has finished dowloading build your dll using the new source.

Hehe, true But I didn't announce this intentionally yet, because not everything is in the cvs yet. I guess I should have blogged about trying to get an subversion server

yah i noticed a couple things were missing (like the headers to use in the programming and not building the engine, either that or im dumb and i'm missing something there). but thats ok

i assume sourceforge may have a subversion server soon, I read in their news last month that they made purchase for machines to set up a beta subversion server on

EDIT: yeah im just stupid and missed the includes :/

Thank you Niko!

Except for having lots of binaries which are feruently changed I still prefer good old CVS. The SVN style of tagging and providing different copies for different release dates is quite confusing if you're used to change between versions within one working copy. And the speed improvements did not show up for me, though having huge repositories for bith CVS and SVN. Anyway, changing from CVS to SVN works with almost no loss of information from file histories, so should be no problem to migrate later on.

Aaah, this is a nice move!

Although being a total cvs-noob, I even managed to download the current snapshot and compile.

Is there an easy way to check if something new was added to the cvs stock?
I'd do it now by starting WinCvs, checkout irrlicht and watch the status window for new files being downloaded (if so, a local recompile is needed).

Anyway, good thing, that.

I followed this exactly.
I got the following error:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/irrlicht login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/irrlicht
cvs [login aborted]: Connection to server failed
Error connecting to host cvs.sourceforge.net: No such host is known.

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

the sourceforge CVS servers are stupid. often times they pretend they're not there. looks fine, just try it again later
