Hi Michelle... I am looking at what is needed to update the Openvue 
grid which is using the flotsam XmlRpcGroups module.  the GITHub 
repository has the changes from a few days ago... but I wonder if 
there has been an update/commit into the main Opensim Github area 
already.  I cannot see a  related commit looking back over the last 
week or so.  Is the core system updated so this module is up to date 
in that?  I also note that the Opensim.ini.example file contains a 
reference to http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/ for details of how to 
install the service.. but that seems to be pointing at an out of date version?

I think for the flotsam php end it is straightforward and I obtained 
the changed groups.sql and xmlrpc.php files needed.  But note that 
people are still pointed via the opensim.ini.example comments at the 
old version on http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/ so that either needs 
updating to teh latest version, or the comment in opensim.ini.exmaple 
needs to be changed.

To avoid mistakes, I wonder if you can clarify where to go for the 
parts needed and at what revision/date of OpenSim 0.7.5 dev master 
this was introduced, what to get and what to change for an existing 
service in terms of the data base tables, OpenSim.exe instance and 
the web support php code areas?

Thanks Michelle, Ai
