[Opensim-dev] How necessary are the latest group changes in 0.6.9-post-fixes?

[Michael Cerquoni]

Ok please cancel this request to undo the patch.. After speaking with
Mcortez we found that i had OpenSim.ini not fully updated for this patch, it
required a change to the URI line.. after working with michael we have a new
patch to add that will fix the startup crash if this line is not changed.

<mcortez> XmlRpcGroupsServicesConnectorModule.cs: 120  - : m_groupsServerURI
= groupsConfig.GetString("GroupsServerURI", string.Empty);

<mcortez> XmlRpcGroupsServicesConnectorModule.cs: 120  + : m_groupsServerURI
= groupsConfig.GetString("GroupsServerURI",
groupsConfig.GetString("XmlRpcServiceURL", string.Empty));

if someone can please make this change to the 0.6.9-post-fixes branch this
will alleviate some of the confusion when upgrading for some folks.
