[Opensim-dev] Deprecate OpenSim.Grid.InventoryServer and OpenSim.Grid.AssetServer?

[MW]

+1 , we need these new servers tested in production use by multiple people/grids for a reasonable lenght of time. Before we actually remove the old servers from SVN.

Once they have been tested and there is full documentation then I'm +1 to removing the old ones.

Maybe a starting point would be to set up the configs so by default everything was configured for the new servers.

I also would rather a different name than BUST, and also before any protocol changes are done, see full documentation about the plans. 

We have just gone through a extended period of a lot of refactoring and rapid changes. I think now is the time to slow the changes down a bit and take a bit of time to reflect on things and test them and get any new bugs out of the system.

Well, this may or may not be, Melanie. But, I would feel a whole lot more comfortable about the whole proposal *after* at least two different groups report success in configuring BUST and that it is not busted.

At that point, we need enough clear and concise documentation on the wiki to allow others running grids to be able to change. After a half dozen different grids have adopted the notion of BUST and determined it is not busted, then we could consider deprecating our existing UGAIM.

B.U.S.T. is Basic Universal Server Technology. The prompt can be 
changed in the configuration file, though, for those without a sense 
of humor. I fully expect things to get renamed before 1.0. On the 
other hand, the server is named OpenSim.Server.exe, no body parts there!

As soon as connectors are available for the other services, it will 
be able to run them. Part of this is getting the old servers out of 
the way, since the new servers use different web protocols and 
keeping compatibility with the old servers will not be possible. At 
this point, the presence of the old servers blocks evolution.
