Summary0006109: [PATCH] Use the same log4net.dll as OpenMetaverse
DescriptionCopied the log4net.dll file from OpenMetaverse to OpenSim. This solves the problem where errors that happen in OpenMetaverse aren't logged, and instead we get errors about OpenMetaverse.Logger.
Steps To ReproduceCause OpenMetaverse to log an error, and you'll see that it logs an unrelated error about OpenMetaverse.Logger because it can't load log4net.

For example: http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5358 [^]
Additional InformationThe problem was that we were using a slightly different version of log4net.dll than OpenMetaverse, so whenever OpenMetaverse tried to write to the log it failed and produced an assembly error instead. The two versions of log4net are basically the same (version 1.2.10.0): the only difference is that the version in OpenSim had a publickey, and the version in OpenMetaverse does not.

Here are a few more details. The log4net.dll in OpenSim was taken directly from the log4net site. It includes a publickey, and was compiled for .NET 2.0. The log4net.dll in OpenMetaverse isn't on the log4net site (not now, anyway): perhaps it was compiled separately. It's compiled for .NET 3.5, and doesn't include a publickey.

If you compare the manifests (using ildasm.exe) then you can see the difference:

1. OpenSim.exe manifest:

.assembly extern log4net
{
  .publickeytoken = (1B 44 E1 D4 26 11 58 21 )
  .ver 1:2:10:0
}


2. OpenMetaverse.dll manifest:

.assembly extern log4net
{
  .ver 1:2:10:0
}


An alternative solution would be to change the log4net.dll in OpenMetaverse instead of the one in OpenSim. However, it's easier to change our own project than someone else's... At some point, presumably, everyone will switch to the latest version of log4net (1.2.11) and then we'll all be using the same DLL.

 I also recompiled OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe and Robust.32BitLaunch.exe, because they were using references to a specific version of log4net, and they should be using generic references (like all the other projects).

 Thanks very much for the analysis Oren. I'm going to attempt to get libomv to update their log4net.dll [1].

Also, I plan to do the .exe changes but would rather recompile the executables myself. It's pretty much project policy to not directly add binary executable patches from non-core committers.

 lkalif accepted the pull request. At some point this libomv will be updated in OpenSimulator.
