Get the latest Beagle code from CVS. Setup Beagle web/web-service interface code as described in: http://beaglewiki.org/index.php/Using%20Beagle%20web%2C%20web-service%20access Steps: 1. Unzip first attachment in the main folder of your beagle. This will update files in the 'beagled' sub-folder, related to web-interface. Do a 'make' and 'make install'. 2. Unzip second attachment in the 'searchplugins' folder of your firefox install. Typically this would be /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/searchplugins 3. Start beagled with web-interface enabled like: $ beagled --web-start --fg 4. Restart Firefox browser. Select search bar drop-down. You should see a Beagle search engine entry. Select that, key-in your Beagle search arguments and press Enter. You should get the Beagle web-interface search results screen.
Looks fine to check in with the web services stuff. It'd probably be a good idea to conditionally put it in the right location on "make install" if the web services stuff is enabled at build time. (Btw, that wiki page needs updating based on the recent naming changes in CVS)
