Hiya all!
I'm trying to get started in the translation work for Swedish, but I'm not too friendly with the CVS system... I use TortoiseCVS for Windows to check out files, and I wonder HOW DO I DO...? To just check out the latest files? There are several branches in the CVS tree, but I can't see the use of downloading them all, just the latest versions, both production and developing versions.
Later,
Anders Norrbring

At this point, I would stick with the Release_2_1-maint branch, which represents the stable Mailman 2.1 line.

Thanks Barry,
That much I already figured out.. But my question is really a request for help with the use of CVS..
I can check out Mailman via CVS, but I get everything from the sourceforge server if I simply checkout "mailman"... Is there a way to make cvs check out ONLY the Release_2_1-maint branch?

Have you tried the "Revision" tab in the checkout dialog? Use the "Choose branch or tag" option to checkout the Release_2_1-maint branch.

Yes, I tried that.. But TortoiseCVS complains then that I need write access to the repositary.. I'll think of something I guess, but any guidance is gratefully accepted! :)

Out of curiosity, I tested TortoiseCVS on my winXP machine at home. I couldn't get anonymous checkout from cvs.sourceforge.net to work. I did manage to perform a successful checkout by using my sf account and the TortoiseCVS built-in ssh support.
My advice to you Anders is to apply for a sf developer account and to use the :ext: protocol. See "TortoiseCVS User's Guide" and look for the chapter "Using TortoiseCVS with SourceForge" for more information.

Fixed.. I looked in the wrong place in Tortoise... Now it's working perfectly well! :)
