Hi Matthias
I am using xsection 1.1 (which is great) and tries to upgrade to version 1.4 using the
tools--> Manage packages of klayout Gui (version 0.26.3)
Unfortunately, we get the following error:
I think that's a different issue. The URL isn't accessible directly. Instead KLayout uses the WebDAV protocol to access the Subversion port of GitHub. The "Network API error" seems to be a generic network issue.
Maybe there is a firewall blocking GitHub or something like this. I had general issues with the openSSL libraries in the past, but these should be solved. And if KLayout is able to download the package index, there cannot be a general installation issue.
I have just confirmed that I can download xsection 1.4 on a variety of Windows and Linux installations, so I think I can rule out a server issue.

It seems like the installer looks in a wrong location in github (the xml is located elsewhere). Is that correct? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

Hi Allon,
I think that's a different issue. The URL isn't accessible directly. Instead KLayout uses the WebDAV protocol to access the Subversion port of GitHub. The "Network API error" seems to be a generic network issue.
If you use a subversion client (svn command or the repo browser of Tortoise on Windows) you should see that "svn cat https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/xsection.git/tags/1.4/src/grain.xml" gives you this file.

Thanks Matthias. We're checking this.
BR, Allon
When the Manager can not work I install this xsection by downloading the files from github manually.
Maybe you can try.
@hycmos, do you have some simple instruction how to manually install xsection, especially under linux environment? Thank you.
Answering myself again. The answer is here: https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/2124/manual-package-install
