News flash! .....3.2 beta versions available for testing......hardy......etch......lenny......see 3.2 beta details......
The AG3 packages available here have been tested locally and appear to work fine. Minor changes (particularly with respect to dependency specifications) may still be expected, but all normal features appear to be functional. The only exceptions at this stage are the SharedPresentation application does not work in the sarge version, nor the SharedBrowser application in the 64bit version of Ubuntu gutsy. Please advise of any other quirks or difficulties to the contact email address below.
AG 3.1 (21st December 2007)
The latest AG Toolkit version is 3.1 and packages of the AG3.1 releases are available only for Debian Etch and Lenny as well as Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) and 7.10 (Gutsy).
No AG3.1 packages are planned for Debian Sarge or Ubuntu
6.10 for which
the most recent release available is AG3.0.2. Please upgrade your
Debian
or Ubuntu to a newer version to take advantage of the AG3.1 release.
Please select from the available release pages:

3.2 Beta
Beta release packages of the forthcoming 3.2 version of the AG toolkit are available for Hardy, Etch and Lenny. Follow the general installation instructions for version 3.1, but use/select the accessgrid3.2 package instead of accessgrid3.1 when installing (or upgrading).
Please note that new packaging "Policy" has an undesired side effect that whenever the AG toolkit is upgraded, additional Node Services that may have been installed will disappear (even though the package manager believes they are still installed). Until this is resolved, it will be neccessary to reinstall any such packages. Examples of such packages are aghdvic and VPCScreen.
And from the Archive ...
AG2 users should really upgrade to AG3! However, for completeness ...
These AG2.4 packages can be installed alongside the AG3 packages above.
Also, the Debian packages for the older AG2.3 version of the AccessGrid software are still available on the Sydney ViSLAB web site. They were developed by Joseph Pachod and since then maintained by Steve Smith.
Please note that the AG2.3 package is not recommended for new installations since it is not compatible with any known AG3 packages for Debian
Installation Instructions and Notes for the AG2.3 release:
Depending on how your AG toolkit is
installed, you may need to be root
user to perform the installation.
