[Opensim-dev] terrain and blank assets, do they need to be non temporary?

[Michael Wright]

I would need to check what the blank assets are, but think they might be baked textures. But anyway we have to remember that we have a temporary flag and a local flag, and we need to treat them differently. At the moment we treat temporary as though it means local, when it shouldn't. Temporary should mean it gets sent to the asset server but is only kept for a certain amount of time. Local should mean a asset isn't sent to the asset server, but is only stored locally. While having both local and temporary set to true, should result in what we currently do for temporary assets, that is keep them local and only around for a short period of time.

As Stefan said, Terrain textures need to get added to the asset server, but should be marked as temporary. As other regions need those textures so a user can see the world map.
