[AG-TECH] CVS assistance - I'd LIKE to be able to check out the new stuff (fwd)

[Eric Olson]

What should we do to keep people updated?  Maybe start a developers 
mailing list?  Or maybe it's simplest to list the current packages we 
require on a developer wiki page?

I agree,

We're interested in extending some of of the service integration code; 
however, we're not sure whether the CVS code is the latest code or not...

Unfortunately I missed the last townhall - so I'm not sure if it was 
brought up or not, but it would be nice to have current instructions on 
running the CVS code if at all possible.

I've made it slightly farther than you, Randy - I installed the optik 
module ( download at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=38019, unzip and 
run the setup.py file like: 'python setup.py install')

I also installed the fpconst 
(http://www.analytics.washington.edu/downloads/fpconst/) the same way.

Now I can get to a point where the VenueClient will start; however, 
--personalNode doesn't seem to work (?) - I seem to have to start the 
agNodeService and agServiceManager's separately.

I can _almost_ connect to a venue.... I can see who is connected etc, 
but it seems to error out and no streams start etc.
