Executing the command shown above will get you the latest
trunk source code with all the new bits and bobs that were added post-1.76. Unfortunately, at the same time it will get you also all the new bugs that have no doubt been introduced with all the new code. So, the answer is that yes it will get you the latest version of the source, but you may not be able to use this source code for building a playable version of the game.
If you want to download the latest stable source, which is the 1.76 release one, you want to do:
Code: Select all
svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/oolite-linux/tags/1.76
Alternatively, you can download a copy of the stable source from Berlios at
http://prdownload.berlios.de/oolite-lin ... 76.tar.bz2. This will allow you to build the game, but not generate distributions (installers).
