I tried the instructions on how to use TortoiseSVN to get the Lazarus files as described here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/TortoiseSvn But Tortoise just initializes and transfers about 6 kb of data and then nothing more happens. After some time of nothing happening I try to Cancel, but that does not work so I have to close the dialog completely using the X button. Then in order to try again I have to delete the Lazarus folder with its hidden .svn subfolder and create a new one because Tortoise does not allow checkout any longer. Tried it three times now, always the same end: nothing is retrieved. Is the TortoiseSVN description on the webpage erroneous? I had to install Tortiose because all other downloads I could find were for installing an SVN *server*, which I don't want to do. So the only client I found was TortoiseSVN... -- Bo B -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
