[Opensim-dev] Conversion Script Flotsam --> V2 Groups

[Diva Canto]

Let me clarify this conversation.

Flotsam groups is missing the implementation of notice attachments. If 
your grid has been running that software, then you don't have attachment 
information on the DB. As a result, there is nothing to port to the 
Groups V2 tables.

Kevin is referring to mantis 6699 
(http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6699) which provides a 
patch to fix flotsam groups notice attachments. When this patch is 
applied, then Flotsam groups saves attachment info in the DB. This patch 
has not made it to opensim core yet. (sorry, we'll all been very busy)

Bottom line: unless you applied the patch yourself to your copy of 
opensim, there's nothing to worry about on the migration. Just use the 
migration code that's now on the Wiki.
