[Opensim-users] Fw: Re: [SLED] Linden Lab Sells Second Life!

While Teravus did the april 1st joke, all of core (or certainly most of it) knew about it. And we fully supported him applying it. As he said it was never in a tagged version.

FYI, the avatar stick bug April 1 joke was my idea.

Also, I think it's really important to note that all of the developers
of OpenSimulator have, since day one told people to avoid SVN for
something that is production.   That includes anything that you want
to work.

April 1st is a tradition in OpenSimulator and on April 1st a sense of
humor is required when using SVN.   We made sure that all releases and
tags did *not* have the April fool's joke in it for this very reason.
   We make releases and tag revisions not for our benefit, but for
yours.

I know some people on this list don't spend time on IRC, however, it's
been hinted upon since February that there would likely be an April
fool's joke there.  For those that argue that most people don't sit in
IRC, see two paragraphs up.

Now, if despite our warnings and hints, you continued to use SVN, then
likely your avatar were stick-bugged.

I reiterate what has been said all along.   Direct SVN revisions are
risky.  They've always been, and it's always bad practice to use them
unless you've thoroughly looked them over.   A lot of people thought
it was funny.  The people who did not were in the far minority.


Sincerely

Teravus
