hi`

if I follow the instructions on the homepage I should use

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest at cvs.lokigames.com:/cvs checkout -r devel_1_1_0
SDL

Does this checkout the latest source or do I have to use another tag?–

It checks out the latest source.

Which version of SDL can be considered better?
SDL 1.2 or SDL CVS?

SDL 1.2 is the officially released version. It is the one that you
can redistribute and is the latest stable version that would be
installed on an end-user’s system.

SDL CVS is new, possibly unstable source, with recent bug fixes and patches.
Use it if you want to test out the latest code before release, or if you
absolutely must have a bug fix for your development code. (If that’s the
case, please let me know, so I hurry the release schedule).

I periodically ask people to test the latest CVS source so I can get
feedback on patches and bug fixes before release, but it’s not intended
for general distribution.
