[opensource-dev] More login channels (with missing background images on the login screen) (was: Is there supposed to be a login web page for the development viewer? (An SL screenshot, maybe some text, like the regular viewer has))

Thanks! Looks like more needs to be done, though:

When I build from bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development, the
resulting viewer tries to access
http://secondlife.com/app/login/?lang=en&channel=*LindenDeveloper*&version=2.5.0%20%280%29&grid=Agni
when loading the login screen.

|VIEWER_CHANNEL| in indra/cmake/Variables.cmake has been changed from
|"Developer"| to |"LindenDeveloper"| in ef7a1b4d86a9
<http://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development/changeset/ef7a1b4d86a9#chg-indra/cmake/Variables.cmake>
(so quite some while ago).

|"Second Life Development"| is only found in BuildParams
<http://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development/src/d472ad8a5c6f/BuildParams#cl-34>
as |snowstorm_viewer-development.viewer_channel| and
|snowstorm_viewer-development.login_channel|. But I guess that is not
used for anything but TeamCity builds.

Maybe the page should display some nice image even for unknown channels?
If not, at least |LindenDeveloper| and maybe also |Developer| should be
added to get some background image, too. And wasn't there once a
|"Community Developer"| channel or similar?|
|

Cheers,
Boroondas
