[Opensim-dev] In light of recent problems with ClientStack

[Michael Wright]

Maybe we could include a prebuilt OpenSim.Region.ClientStack.LindenUDP-r5974.dll in bin for a little while until the problems are solved.

Some people have reported problems with recent revisions of OpenSim and
getting packet errors, OutOfBounds exceptions, etc. Often this lies in
the client stack.

I'd like to bring your attention to the fact that the client stack is
"pluggable" and configured in OpenSim.ini. So it's possible to, say,
run the most recent SVN revision of OpenSim with a "safe" version of
the client stack.

Steps:
1. Build a version of OpenSim from an older SVN revision before the
problems started. ckrinke has identified r5974 as a good candidate.
2. Save OpenSim.Region.ClientStack.LindenUDP.dll, perhaps naming it
OpenSim.Region.ClientStack.LindenUDP-r5974.dll.
3. Rebuild OpenSim from the latest SVN head.
4. If client stack problems persist, use the older version of the
client stack by setting the clientstack_plugin entry in OpenSim.ini to
OpenSim.Region.ClientStack.LindenUDP-r5974.dll.

If you don't have a clientstack_plugin option in your OpenSim.ini,
don't worry, just add it in.

Note that this is a TEMPORARY fix for "production" OpenSim deployments
until the client stack issues are resolved.

Hope that helps,
Mike
