I was having trouble installing Developer Support. Since ACS 5.2 doesn't have a fully loaded repository yet, I have to load it from the CVS. I tried following the instructions in the documentation on installing from the CVS, but I think I must be missing a step. This is what I typed in:

cvs -d:pserver:mailto:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org/cvsroot co -r oacs-5-1 acs-developer-support

It installed a series of things. However, when I went to "Install Software" and "From local repository", the acs-developer-support package wasn't there.

I'm a little confused because I installed things from CVS before and it worked out. I must be forgetting something...does anyone know?

I didn't realize the 5.2 repo was not fully loaded. Checking out acs-developer-support should work without a problem. Make sure you are checking it out from the /packages/ directory logged in as your openacs user.

Then you'll want to click on the Install Software link from inside the APM.

My test of a checkout seemed to work ok.
