It has been a while since I worked with a cvs version of FG. Noticed the tar file is ~700k smaller than the 0-9.10 version. and can't seem to locate the cvs command string for logging in and downloading the cvs source. Have been using the hyperlink called "Bleeding edge CVS snapshot" to get both simgear and flightgear source. It does look like tar is aborting, I don't see any reference to configure.ac in the list of untarred directories and files. Is there another way to get the latest cvs source? I tried downloading and untarring on three different machines, all with the same result. And I still can't seem to find the reference to the cvs command string for the development source on the website.
