Due to a hardware failure, the cvs servers of the FlightGear source and data repository are currently down. As a result, many links on this or other pages describing the built of FlightGear from CVS are obsolete.
After a hardware failure in May 2010, the CVS servers of the FlightGear source and data repository were replaced by [[Git]]. Every reference to CVS can be considered as out-of-date and should be replaced with a correct Git reference.
Some highly skilled people are currently working on a substitute for the CVS system and we hope to have a reliable solution up and running soon. Those, who can't hold their feet might want to sneek a peek at [http://www.gitorious.org/fg]

Many [[FlightGear]] developers use '''CVS''', a '''Concurrent Versions System''' to store all of the files required to build FlightGear.  CVS tracks updates to every file as developers around the world work together concurrently to create new versions.

While new FlightGear features and additions are in development, they are available from CVS before they are available in the standard release version.  Using CVS allows a user to build the newest possible version of FlightGear from the latest source files, to experiment with new aircraft or other features.  However, it's not a beginner's tool.  Using CVS can expose the user to unstable features that show ugly error messages, or crash the computer.  Fortunately, very few of FlightGear's advanced features require CVS. (See [[New_to_FlightGear#Getting_Started|Getting Started]] for more info about using FlightGear without CVS).

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) has been used by the FlightGear project as version control system, for almost 10 years.

After a hardware failure in May 2010, the CVS servers of the FlightGear source and data repository were replaced by Git. Every reference to CVS can be considered as out-of-date and should be replaced with a correct Git reference.
