Yes, I have been tracking this in a git repo. As I said, I followed a slightly different approach - where I made each of the repos like controller, vrouter, sandesh and generateDS as a git submodule. Here are some of the notes - https://github.com/hyphenOs/devcontrail/blob/master/NOTES.md However, I am not sure whether to continue with this approach further and instead look at fixing the contrail-installer for Ubuntu 16.04, but likely to face similar issues so the notes might be handy. (The reason I started with this approach because I couldn't find contrail-installer repository reading materials on the web. :-( ) Coming back to original Question 2. - What is the most recommended way of quickly deploying vRouter agent and vRouter kernel module or bringing up devstack and contrail is the 'easiest' way?
