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...
