[X2Go-User] testing session broker in WSGI/plain/inifile configuration

[Short, Kermit]

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!
