Hi, as many of you should know I'm no coder at all, so maybe this is a very stupid thread. But maybe some new arriving coders can have the same doubt. 

Till now I thought that the FS2 source code was stored in a CVS server in warpcore.org. Wiki provides noob instructions to download it.

But I've seen in several threads, (as example this one), that you speak of SVN...

Looking in Wikipedia I've "learned" that SVN is more or less and advanced flavour of CVS repository (look what a FULLY TECHNICHAL knowledge I have  ). But:

• Are you going to swap from CVS to SVN?
• In that case, where and how you get the code from the SVN server?

Thanks for your patience answering questions like this one.

I was wondering when someone would ask.

We've already moved from CVS to SVN. For the non coders this will mean very little other than getting used to a new word. For us coders it's already proved to be a big improvement.

We didn't want to give out the details for SVN as we were still reorganising things internally. That's partially finished now and I had already planned to write a guide on how to use TortoiseSVN to check out the code same as I did for TortoiseCVS.

SVN commands are, as far as I know, easier than CVS

Glad it's being swithced.

Also, wouldn't it be possible to use TortoiseSVN to update builds?

We switched from our rudimentary versioning system at work to SVN... blew the minds of management! (having a directory full of crap1.cpp-crap100.cpp representing code versions was killing us all)
TortoiseSVN is really simple, and the shell interface works fairly well... but no really good VS2008 interface yet

AnkhSVN should do the trick. http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/
