[Opensim-dev] Package manager

[Michel Beauregard]

Am I wrong in thinking in terms of plug-in from what Diva stated in her long email. Many sucessfull exemple exist starting with browsers, the  gimp  or blender.


In  IRegionModule - OpenSim  web page explain how to add region dll  as follows
If you are just installing an existing region module DLL rather than building it from source then you will need to1. Copy the DLL and any other associated files into $OPENSIM_BASE/bin2. In most cases configure the module, either by adding the required section to OpenSim.ini, adding it as bin/addon-modules/MyModule/config/config.ini or by explicitly including the module's configuration file.

As exemple of add-on in diva distro the two wifi  dlls are inserted into main/bin and config is explicitly included in MyWorld.ini. The tools are certainly all there already.

Apache2 is probably the closes to what opensim is as a server where they are using  mods-available and  mods-enabled. Taking for exemple a big add on like php5. The simple presence of php5.conf in mods-enabled is enought to get it going for apache. In php5 install  there is a apache folder with a php.ini file  including necessary information for apache. Please note that no configuration is done  by user.  Its all done at install of php add on. The convention is clear for any packager what to do to add functionnalities here.

hope it helps

 This is all possible to do today with the existing configurations and without any package manager. I run a grid where all the configs, asset cache, map tiles, and scripts are all outside of bin. The config variables already support this.
 What Diva said. I've been running my grid this way for years. Nothing is ever added, removed or changed in bin, from one update to the next.
