Thanks Mike! The testbed I'm working with right now is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bit). I'm getting all the deb files from the x2go ppa, so whatever version is out there is what I'm running with.
I guess my question should be, is there a way I can compile just the broker agent from source, or do I have to compile the entire broker server? If all I need to do is grab the nightly sources for the agent and then install that on all my x2go servers, I can do that. If it's a matter of installing the entire broker on every x2go server, I may wait until you release to stable.

Thanks Mike! That brings up a few questions for me, though. I'm at
home, and don't have to contend with the firewalls on the workplace
networks, but I can never seem to clone any of the source repos.
More than likely, I'm doing something wrong with the git command,
but whenever I try to clone through our (mandatory) http proxy, the
clone command just sits there for about 5 minutes, and then errors
out.I just tried to clone the x2gobroker.git project (at home) as follows: git clone http://git.x2go.org/projects x2gobroker.git or subsequently: git clone http://git.x2go.org x2gobroker.git
This is probably, because you URL is wrong. Try this one instead:
git clone http://code.x2go.org/git/x2gobroker.git
Once I do manage to get a clone of the source, should I be
uninstalling the existing x2gobroker-* packages installed on my
session broker server? How would I then go about installing the
binaries after configure/make/make install from source? Can I leave
at least something that I've done or do I blow it all away and start
over with nightly build codes?The broker .deb package is well maintained in upstream code. In
theory, it should work to run make && sudo make install. If you
install the broker that way, the broker codes gets installed to
/usr/local. Note: there is no configure script in x2gobroker.As you are on an RPM based system, I cannot be of great help with more
than the above. (/me only knows how to maintain DEB based systems).Greets, Mike
