It's ginormous! The reason why I hate it is that <br>I tend to look at OpenSim dlls as components that can be reused by other <br>programs. When those dlls have dependencies on IClientAPI, it's
a pain <br>in the neck to have to implement the 400 functions in it, especially <br>when only 6 need 'meat.'<br><br>The IClientAPI is the abstract representation of the Linden client. <br>Maybe we could split it into, say, 50 different APIs that represent <br>functional units of clients. And then have LLClientView be an aggregator <br>of all those interfaces?<br><br>Michael Cortez wrote:<br>> On more then one occasion it's been brought to my attention that <br>> creating references to/with IClientAPI is bad and should be avoided.
