Something is messed up with the github servers. When running this from an Ubuntu 10.04 server I get the following:
> sudo pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
Discovering channel pear.drush.org over http:// failed with message: channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.drush.org/channel.xml" (File http://pear.drush.org:80/channel.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
))
Trying to discover channel pear.drush.org over https:// instead
Discovery of channel "pear.drush.org" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "https://pear.drush.org/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.drush.org:443' failed: Connection refused))
If I just run a "GET" on the command line, I see that I am returned a generic github page instead of the .xml file.

Just needed to run 'pear upgrade', then all was fine.

It is now more than 2 weeks I try to get drush installed via pear and fails.
Who can fix this? None of the provided tips/tricks work.

tobby CreditAttribution: tobby at Phase2 commentedFor what it's worth, Drush is no longer supporting installation via Pear. See https://www.drupal.org/node/2132447 for updated methods of installation.

helmo CreditAttribution: helmo at Initfour websolutions commentedThis issue was marked closed (won't fix) because Drush has moved to Github.
