You should just keep an eye out for new snapshots. Otherwise you might not get prodded until the beta. We're not posting new snapshot announcements with any reliability. Also you'll want to not leave the binaries in the bin directory or you'll get a very confused installation.

Putting the RAT and VIC executables in the bin directory did allow these services to start, so something is still looking for them in the old places. I did not get much further with 2.2Alpha, having problems connecting to most, but not all, venue servers. Let us know when we should test it again. Ivan R. Judson wrote: The original alpha snapshot is known to not start the services and shared apps don't work either. We're working on these problems and plan to announce when things change functionally (stay tuned). As for your question about vic and rat not being in bin, the reason you didn't find them is because that's not where they go now. They are unpacked and installed as part of the audio or video node services. This is a change from previous versions of the toolkit. The underlying tools are kept in node service specific locations which allow us to use multiple different configurations -- we could now support having and openmash vic video service (which would enable H.263). Don't look for random media tools to reappear in the bin directory, we're not planning on that happening. --Ivan > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Patrick > Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 11:15 AM > Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [AG-TECH] Re: AG 2.2 Alpha - node services do not > start when entering a venue > > Further investigation suggests that VIC and RAT have not been > installed in the bin directory.
