I wanted to try your method because the standard way is causing an error. Unfortunately, I am behind a firewall and I think that is blocking the connection. This is what I get when I try your method:
[packages]$ cvs -d:pserver:
mailto:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-4 acs-developer-support
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to [cvs.openacs.org]:2401 failed: Connection timed out
Is there any other way to do this?
Thank you for the help.
