[09:59] Penny Lane: There's definitely a difference in body texture update behaviour between SL and Opensim now. But since it's all changing shortly in 1.23 anyway, might as well not fix it yet.
[09:59] Richardus Raymaker: so because 1.23 we have the problems ?

[10:07] Richardus Raymaker: i have the feelking 9700 is not perfect
[10:07] Bri Hasp: 700
[10:07] Starky Rubble: 9700
[10:07] Charles Krinke: I have seen a number of negative comments on r9700 on IRC in the last few days.

[10:07] Bri Hasp: true
[10:07] Starky Rubble: well it was a hard week
[10:07] Justin Clark-Casey: Hey Sean
[10:07] Charles Krinke: We could consider 9740 (this region), 9644, 9755 or leave at 9700
[10:07] Bri Hasp: is turbulent times

[10:08] paulie Flomar: I've been running 9740. Seems to work fine for me.
[10:08] Michelle Argus is Online
[10:08] Sean Dague: Hey Justin
[10:08] Charles Krinke: going once to r9740

[10:09] BlueWall Slade: ++
[10:09] Charles Krinke: going twice to 9740
[10:09] paulie Flomar: I just updated to head, which also seems ok, fwiw.
[10:09] paulie Flomar: 9740++ from me
[10:09] Charles Krinke: sold as r9740 as recommended for the week and we will decide on a new one next Tuesday

[10:09] Starky Rubble: be *very* aware
[10:09] BlueWall Slade: just check that they finish
[10:10] Justin Clark-Casey: I'm working on a patch to explicitly abort oars that don't finish
[10:10] paulie Flomar: nice
[10:10] BlueWall Slade: thanks Justin
[10:10] Charles Krinke: Next order of business is to ask for any questions, suggestions, criticisms or announcements from any core developers that are attending.
[10:10] Nebadon Izumi: hello sean :)
[10:10] Justin Clark-Casey: rather than leaving them forever hanging. I'm hoping this will provide a better angle on what the problem is
[10:10] Richardus Raymaker: wich version have oar problem ?

[10:10] BlueWall Slade: lol, 200 revs
[10:10] paulie Flomar: I understand that we are trying to clean up Mantis?

[10:11] BlueWall Slade: you have to check with tar or another archiver
[10:11] Charles Krinke: that would be cool, Sean. We would really love to have you here. This dialog/stress test appears very useful.
[10:11] Justin Clark-Casey: Nebadon, ckrinke - I assume you are not using the standard bundled asset servers with osgrid any more?#
[10:11] BlueWall Slade: Hi Sean
[10:11] Sean Dague: Justin, have you thought about sha1 uuids again recently?
[10:11] BlueWall Slade: long time
[10:11] Sean Dague: yeh, too long
[10:12] Starky Rubble: isn't there a change upcomong?

[10:12] Justin Clark-Casey: sean: not recently
[10:13] Charles Krinke: I have a suggestion for the group. I would like to see this conference room used more by other groups and businesses until it becomes a scheduling problem for all of us.
[10:13] Sean Dague: I was just thinking that the awesomeness of oar files seems to be exacerbating the dup asset issue
[10:13] Sean Dague: I was nudging chris yeoh about it the other day as well
[10:13] Nebadon Izumi: if you are planning to use any of the plazas for an event, just let us know we can restart it prior to the event
[10:13] Nebadon Izumi: and monitor it as well
[10:14] Charles Krinke: One of the things the OSGrid admins have been promoting is that everyone make oars of their regions on a regular basis since we are at the "bleeding edge" 99% of the time.
[10:14] Justin Clark-Casey: sean: yeah, by default the same asset uuid is reused, but this is a potential weakness
[10:14] Connecting to in-world Voice Chat...
[10:14] Connected
[10:14] Justin Clark-Casey: charles: what kind of asset server is OSGrid using these days?
[10:14] Sean Dague: ah, ok, I didnt' realize it was pushing asset ids, I thought they were recreated on upload
[10:14] Nebadon Izumi: for the next 14 hours cable beach
[10:14] Starky Rubble: and whats up tomorrow night?
[10:14] Charles Krinke: It is a 1TByte disk, dual-cpu fairly hot server at cari.net
[10:14] Nebadon Izumi: then we are back to the SVN asset server
[10:14] Justin Clark-Casey: sean: no, they are reused. Which was the cheap hack to stop dups
[10:14] Sean Dague: ah, ok
[10:15] Justin Clark-Casey: charles: is the code the stuff in OpenSim, or something else?
[10:15] Sean Dague: I wonder if the lotus guys know that
[10:15] Charles Krinke: CableBeach right now, but evolving back to the mainline svn OpenSim
[10:15] Nebadon Izumi: we are using fragstore for the storage vessel
[10:15] Nebadon Izumi: adams disk based storage system
[10:15] Sean Dague: as I think they are manually generating oars
[10:15] Connecting to in-world Voice Chat...
[10:15] Connected
[10:15] Justin Clark-Casey: charles: it's not impossible that people are having oar issues because the osgrid asset server is a little different from the oine in OpenSim
[10:15] Sean Dague: I'll have to nudge them
[10:16] Starky Rubble: oh its tonight lol
[10:16] Justin Clark-Casey: but I think there are other issues too, some of them caused by the recent architectural changes
[10:16] Nebadon Izumi: its possible
[10:16] Charles Krinke: Can we get a Lotus rep into our "Office Hour" ?
[10:16] Nebadon Izumi: we'll find out tonight
[10:16] Nebadon Izumi: i doubt it though Justincc
[10:16] Sean Dague: neb, nice selection of music videos
[10:16] Nebadon Izumi: it only seems to be certain regions
[10:16] Sean Dague: charles, well it's mostly me or dr scofield
[10:16] Sean Dague: well, we would be the likely people to show up here
[10:16] Justin Clark-Casey: yeah, I suspect for some reason the asset service drops some asset requests. I'm going to implement a timeout so that the oar gets aborted and tells you a few of the uuids it never got
[10:17] Justin Clark-Casey: which is a start for fiding out if the failures are occasional or not

[10:17] Nebadon Izumi: ya i myself seem to not have issue on my windows based regions
[10:17] Nebadon Izumi: but i also get a 20ms ping to asset server
[10:17] Charles Krinke: got it, Sean. You and Justin have prority for any discussion for the next few minutes until we open it up to the testers more, BTW.
[10:17] Richardus Raymaker: makeing oar's is already a time consuming busniss. :(
[10:17] Sean Dague: for linux folks, we found some "fun" memory bugs in mono 2.4 while trying to get it working on power
[10:18] Nebadon Izumi: ya mono 2.4 is definatly bugtastic
[10:18] Sean Dague: there is a patch we posted out to the mono-devel list for it
[10:18] Nebadon Izumi: 2.5 is pretty sweet though
[10:18] Sean Dague: which makes things much better
[10:18] Justin Clark-Casey: richardus: yes - it's very heavyweight
[10:18] Charles Krinke: Are we at the stagewhere we need to be more definite on recommending mono-2.5? We have een lukewarm on that to date.
[10:18] Nebadon Izumi: this region is running Mono 2.5 SVN
[10:18] Richardus Raymaker: whereis a 2.5 source download ?
[10:18] Justin Clark-Casey: sean: there is a bit of info on the oar format in the wiki, admittedly pretty much the minimum

[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: http://osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1334
[10:19] Charles Krinke: Should we be pushing mono-2.5 on our osgrid.org loginscreen?
[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: this will install the mono 2.5 source tarball
[10:19] Sean Dague: so I could add selected mono revs in as well
[10:19] Justin Clark-Casey: richardus: also, I think the asset cache changes remvoed my ability to explicitly remove assets, which bloats the memory requirements unless that cache is improved/tuned better
[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: probably not the login
[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: login is not always sim owners
[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: that could be overwhelmingly confusing
[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: at the login i think
[10:19] Charles Krinke: sure, just trying to figure ot if we need to be more explicit
[10:19] Nebadon Izumi: but maybe we can be more vocal about it in other areas like the forums

[10:20] Charles Krinke: Ok, lets open the discussion up to anything the testers wish to bring up. Keeping in mind we can go back to anything previous
[10:20] Jenniver Quandry: does that mono patch address these creeping memory issues? http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=3701
[10:21] Nebadon Izumi: ive been having pretty good success though
[10:21] Richardus Raymaker: as long there still ones that runb mono 1.9.x
[10:21] Nebadon Izumi: having people use my instructions that are on the forums

[10:22] Sean Dague: it mostly deals with a segfault around using a method after it got unloaded
[10:22] Sean Dague: which turns out of be the #1 cause of the 2.4 crashes that we've seen
[10:22] Nebadon Izumi: is it the trampoline?
[10:22] Justin Clark-Casey: It might be worth saying on the wiki that we only support 2.0.1 now?...
[10:22] Penny Lane: Last stable mono in Gentoo Portage is 2.0.1, which probably says something about the quality of later ones.
[10:22] Justin Clark-Casey: as a minimum? Well, I know there are disagreements about that :)
[10:22] Sean Dague: Neb, I'm not sure
[10:22] Sean Dague: it may be the same
[10:22] Nebadon Izumi: ya i think 2.0.1 is definatly the minimum now
[10:23] paulie Flomar: I have 10 bug son Mantis that have been around for thousand sof revs. They are bugs in basic functioanlity like sitting and building. Maybe someone could look at som eof those.
[10:23] Nebadon Izumi: opensim wont run with 1.9.1 anymore
[10:23] Sean Dague: yes, 1.9.1 doesn't do the templates
[10:23] Nebadon Izumi: you get that tresponse
[10:23] Justin Clark-Casey: ah, so it's pretty much enforced anyway. Fair enough

[10:23] Nebadon Izumi: but its very stable
[10:23] Nebadon Izumi: compared to 2.4
[10:23] Richardus Raymaker: hmm wait i where trying libgid
[10:23] Charles Krinke: Are we going to be dropping Visual Studio 2005 in a few months?
[10:23] Richardus Raymaker: omg.
[10:24] Charles Krinke: And supporting only Visual Studio 2008 ?

[10:24] Justin Clark-Casey: haven't we already dropped VS 2005?
[10:24] Richardus Raymaker: and then you need to know mono 2.4 is much nicer with memory and the new opensim
[10:24] Nebadon Izumi: didnt copy

[10:25] Dahlia Trimble: Hi :)
[10:25] Starky Rubble: Hi
[10:25] Nebadon Izumi: yea it would be pretty expensive
[10:25] Nebadon Izumi: on a grid like this
[10:25] Jamenai Luik: i need some stuff so that i have in the second zoomlevel 4 regions on 1 tile
[10:26] Nebadon Izumi: to convert all those jp2 on a regulare basis to several zoom levels

[10:27] Nebadon Izumi: its a headless bot that crawls and renders the scene
[10:27] Richardus Raymaker: no mono 2.4 works good here to. i have the feeling i can run the region longer
[10:27] Jamenai Luik: and generate the stuff

[10:29] Charles Krinke: Ok, this is the time for my default plea to add notes to Mantis either confirming or denying the Mantis so the developers can help move some of them to their final destiny.

[10:30] Charles Krinke: Are there any 'showstoppers" that folks are stuck at that we are ignoring?
[10:30] Starky Rubble: I have a philosophical question about mantises. Is a failure to match SL behavior (like llDie or bouyancy) mantis-worthy or does something like that belong in the features wishlist?
[10:30] Sean Dague: it eliminates a set of crashes
[10:30] paulie Flomar: q: should very old Mantisi (thousands of revs old) be closed and resubmitted or left in place?
[10:30] Richardus Raymaker: black avatar, not good loading avatar textures.
[10:30] Justin Clark-Casey: Sean: ah ha - thanks
[10:30] Sean Dague: that turn out to be races in memory deallocation of methods

[10:31] Sean Dague: this are mono level crashes
[10:31] Charles Krinke: I would say that matching SL behavior of SL is an admirable goal, but not one we should spin around in circles trying to accomplish.
[10:31] Justin Clark-Casey: Starky: I think we treat that as features
[10:31] Bri Hasp: aha I see now neb
[10:31] Starky Rubble: I thought so
[10:31] Starky Rubble: but I have been reading mantises and wondered
[10:31] Romulun Rockett: Sorry guys
[10:31] Charles Krinke: Usually the Mantis dicussion notes are a good place to hash that out.
[10:32] Richardus Raymaker: then ,many regions have that problem. i think also with newer ,mono

[10:32] Justin Clark-Casey: starky: yes - I think previously a lot of feature stuff was put in the Mantis but we try and avoid that now. Use Adam's tool instead
[10:32] Starky Rubble: Oh I am aware of that
[10:33] Penny Lane: Well SL can't meet its own specs, and they're full of corner cases, so Opensim trying for 100% wouldn't really make sense. Especially given the different physics.
[10:33] Nebadon Izumi: ya i would say if an LSL function is not behaving as intended
[10:33] Justin Clark-Casey: Yes, I think cleanup of old ones is always good. If they're really broke, people can reopen them
[10:33] Charles Krinke: We are very non-strict about creating Mantis, and I think the converse of this is that we should be non-strict about the developers closing a Mantis also.
[10:33] Justin Clark-Casey: ping
[10:33] Starky Rubble: but i will now add notes to really old ones that should maybe be moved
[10:33] Nebadon Izumi: being LSL is a standard
[10:34] Nebadon Izumi: i would mantis it
[10:34] Richardus Raymaker: only thing that woyld be nice to work the same is lsl
[10:34] Penny Lane: Hehe
[10:34] Charles Krinke: Well, since we dont have specs for OpenSim, it is much easiere.

[10:34] tx Oh: but it would be nice to have most events and detects covered, like touch() and stuff
[10:34] Richardus Raymaker: makes learning easyer
[10:34] Bri Hasp: well some get blown off as "thats how it's designed" then closed.. how can I then state bad design?
[10:34] Charles Krinke: I would say that any LSL function that doesnt work at all is important. Those we need to get into and fix right away.

[10:35] Justin Clark-Casey: bri: yeah - don't have an answer there myuself
[10:35] tx Oh: thats not really true. touch() event is not unimportant
[10:35] Nebadon Izumi: well if its a bad LSL design then that requires a Jira

[10:35] Charles Krinke: Well, Bri, I understand and concur. I also have to live with all the 'disparate genius personalities', some of which tend to write notes on Mantis that preclude discussion.
[10:35] Starky Rubble: heh
[10:36] Dahlia Trimble: my viewer is freaking out big time
[10:36] Charles Krinke: When that happens, I would say, lets have a discussion on the opensim-dev mailing list so an imporant issue does not get lost.
[10:36] Nebadon Izumi: ya, it might even be better to ask 1st on -dev email
[10:36] Nebadon Izumi: before wasting time on a mantis too
[10:36] Dahlia Trimble is Offline
[10:36] Nebadon Izumi: find out if its a bug 1st
[10:36] Bri Hasp: k
[10:36] Nebadon Izumi: remember its a bug listing
[10:37] Nebadon Izumi: not really a question asking forum

[10:37] Charles Krinke: As we get more personalites using OpenSim, working our communication via IRC, Email and in-world will continue to get more challenging.
[10:37] Nebadon Izumi: you shouldnt be asking questions on mantis
[10:37] Nebadon Izumi: its for filing bug reports

[10:37] Richardus Raymaker: you can better place that in
