Okay, I used telnet and got the same output as you.

test-engr@testengr-Latitude-E6420:~/Desktop$ telnet cvs.openacs.org 2401

Below is the output of the download section of the install-aocs.sh:

That behavior is strange. I've now tried to get the contents from cvs. via ADSL from a public provider, i had no problems.

I assume, you get the same timeout if you issue the following commands: 

   mkdir -p /var/www/oacs-5-8
   cd /var/www/oacs-5-8
   cvs -q -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-8 acs-core
Can it be, that you have any of the following CVS enviromnet variables set?

Hello,

Yeah I get the timeout message. I did the following for all
the environment variables. Most are empty besides path and home.

Dear christopher,

in case we don't get CVS working on your side, i've added an additional as additional source for OpenACS the tar release. To get the OpenACS 5.8.1 release via tar file, get the newest version of install-oacs.sh from git and uncomment the following line:

oacs_tar_release=

When you rerun the script, the core of OpenACS will be installed via wget + tar file. By using this way, one has to install the application packages via "install from repository".

Hello Gustaf,

The fix in the script worked. I wasn't able to download xowf and the IT group hasn't gotten back to me about what is being blocked. Is it an issue if I don't have xowf?

no, xowf is (a) optional and (b) once acs-core is installed, one can get it via "install from repositpory" directly from OpenACS.

The primary reason for having xowf in the script was that up to the release of OpenACS 5.8.1 getting it from git was the only solution.

all the best

Guess, we should make the "install from tar-release" default, and let developer choose to use cvs/git as an option...
