Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: News package installation error

Jim and Ryan,

Thank you. I took your suggestions and succeeded.
I did have acs-service-contract installed before trying to
install news, so that was not the whole answer.

For posterity:
  1. start fresh with a new checkout
  2. install packages using http://yoursite.com/acs-admin/apm/ instead of http://yoursite.com/acs-admin/install/
  3. install packages one-by-one, according to dependencies shown by apm, restarting server between installs
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-7 openacs-4
cd openacs-4/packages/
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -d acs-events openacs-4/packages/acs-events
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -d acs-datetime openacs-4/packages/acs-datetime
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -d general-comments openacs-4/packages/general-comments
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -d news openacs-4/packages/news
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -d rss-support openacs-4/packages/rss-support

cd notifications/
cvs update

install acs-events
install acs-datetime
install general-comments
install notifications
install rss-support
install news

Looks good. After the cvs checkout you can also just go to the APM and select the News package. Its dependencies will be auto-selected and installed in the correct order.
