Thanks Rob. It started to work with the folder name changed to low-case but the process
seemed to crash and get the following messages:
-----

Here the new configuration...

Extensions worked without a glitch
Could it be some kind of issue on the server side? A limitation in the number of
concurrent anonymous connections? I think that if this is the case, the error message must
be a bit more clear!
Just a couple of tips:
# As for pserver authentication, that is what MediaWiki site reads. But look at this from
TortoiseCVS help file:
---
TortoiseCVS Client Installation Instructions
...
You will need your user name on
SourceForge.net, and the project UNIX name. Fill in the
dialog as follows:
Protocol: Secure Shell (:ext)
---
# As per the repository folder: my fault, it is again far clear in the MediaWiki site. The
name of the project at SourceForge is Mediawiki and I've messed things up. My
apologies. The name of the folder is clearly wikipedia.
Thanks for your help,
Ricardo

You need to use password-server (pserver) authentication. Also, the
repository folder is /CVSROOT/WIKIPEDIA (not "mediawiki").

Hitting Enter gives an error. Please, find following the log. Whatever protocol I try

Tortoise Tip: Sometimes you get this error if you have the repository folder wrong in
the Checkout dialog. Make sure you have a slash at the start of the folder name, and that
the case and path are correct. Watch out for spurious trailing characters.
Examples are: "/cvsroot", "/usr/local/cvs-repository",
"/cvsroot/cvsgui"
Once again, sorry if I'm missing anything obvious.
Thanks,
Ricardo

Thanks, Rob.
I've been struggling to get Tortoise CVS working but it seems that I'm wrong at
any point and I'm not able to connect to the CVS server.
As far as I understand at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_CVS I must be able
to grab, upgrade and downgrade by using anonymous as user. On the other hand, by following
TortoiseCVS documentation for using it with SourceForge projects Tortoise keeps asking for
a password whatever the user is. Sorry, I'm a bit confused.
Must I apply for being a developer at MediaWiki to grab the software? It sounds a bit
weird to me taking into account my skills! But I'm working hard to catch up! If not,
please, how can I use the anonymous user with TortoiseCVS to grab download the software?
Sorry if I'm missing any obvious point.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

The SVN repository isn't presently in use. Use TortoiseCVS and the
instructions on the page you linked to, plus the TortoiseCVS
documentation, to do the download.
