Add "check for new version" to osvr_server #272

Have osvr server periodically (or at least upon launch) check if newer version of the server is available.

Should this be part of the osvr_server binary, or should we plan a GUI "OSVR Manager" app of sorts that handles this among other config-related things?

godbyk commented 9 years ago

I think it should be part of a manager/configurator app to come later. I envision osvr_server evolving into a combination of a daemon (Linux, Mac OS X) or service (Windows) and control/manager application (which will likely have a GUI as well as command-line interface).

rpavlik commented 9 years ago

Yeah - As @d235j has likely discovered, the current osvr_server app is barely more than a command-line stub/wrapper around the osvrServer library where the actual stuff gets done.

I think there's already a bug open about an installer/updater, fwiw.
