[Opensim-users] fixed terrain..question on updating

[matt raffel]

I use a slightly different approach.  It achieves the same results that 
you are working for, I think.  I'm curious if any sees any problems with 
this approach as well.

I keep my xml files, ini files, region files, etc...in my local source 
control system (I use perforce).  I then have a set of scripts that get 
the latest opensim code, build it, deploy my files and start up the grid.
