I have both the CVS and package versions of TinyOS 2 "installed".
(TinyOS 2.x lives nicely just plopped in any old directory as long as
you have $TOSROOT and friends correctly setup.)

/opt/tinyos-2.x is for the latest "official" release and
/opt/cvs/tinyos-2.x is for the CVS version.

That way, I have both copies, should I need to compare (although I
normally only use the CVS version). It only requires changing one line
in my auto-sourced tos-setup.sh to switch between the two different
"installations".

Pulling in the CVS can take a good bit of time (and the CVS tool
really "does this automatically" for the most part). Just be patient.
You might also consider getting it via one of the GIT mirrors, if that
is more your style. Either way, don't bother messing with whatever
Ubuntu is doing with its package system--it just gets messy.
