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

[Teravus Ovares]

You can do this, you can also urge your grid manager people to not use
direct SVN revisions.   It's bad practice anyway.     You can knee
jerk react, or you can learn something here.   SVN, is not for general
public consumption.

One thing that I've learned..      is while, the people who had issue
with this were in the minority, they were certainly louder about it
then the people who had a laugh.

Relax, use a release version and it goes away.

Sincrerely
