In that case I will try with CVS, but I have some questions:

1) Why there is no release? Is CVS version always stable?

2) Where is the documentation about compiling ecos/RedBoot? In the User
Guide there is only link to the main site, and on main site there is
nothing about compilation

3) There is something strange with this CVS, near end of "checkout" it
deletes some files from repository, for example when I want to download
historical version (with -D option), it downloads more than 100MB, then
near finish it deletes lots of files and final tree takes only about 60MB,
do you know something about it? Because it deletes xscale stuff for
example...

I have source code of Intel version. What is need is official version of
Redboot from this time, to compare them.
