Archipel has several versions, and you should keep in mind that using version of Agent and Client with a big version numbers gap is always a bad idea. Here are the different versions you can use:

  • Published: These are the Beta. The compatibility between the betas agent and the betas client is guaranteed. But it's a beta and you may run into bugs which will not be fixed in the current version.

  • python eggs: Python eggs contains the agent which is published on pypi. This helps you to install the agent with easy_install. Note that there are no mirrored version of the client. We try to publish only when it is more or less stable.

  • Nightlies: Nightlies are a built versions of the Agent and the client from the master sources. If you use nightlies, you really should install the corresponding version of the agent. (note that the latest client nightly is always available at http://app.archipelproject.org)

  • Sources: The fun part. You are at the cutting edge of Archipel development and you will get the latest features and bug fixes. We mostly try to publish only working version. At the moment, if you are testing Archipel, you should use this one. This will greatly help you to try latest bug correction (and even submit yours ;)).
