[Opensim-users] Opensim-users Digest, Vol 39, Issue 21

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Unfortunately, in OpenSim 0.7.0.1 and 0.7.0.2, the Flotsam groups code in OpenSim was broken.

I discovered this after 0.7.0.2 and fixed it (in commit b1ab3ea on Friday 17th September in OpenSim Master).  I also 
made some fixes on the PHP side - unfortunately mcortez hasn't had time to maintain it and I don't either but it should 
be working at the moment.

I was rather surprised that nobody had discovered this problem before I did - possibly most people were sticking with 
0.6.9 at that time.

I also backported the fix to the 0.7-post-fixes git branch.

There are some installation instructions at http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/wiki/XmlRpcGroups but I'm not sure how up 
to date they are.  Things aren't helped by the fact that the instructions in OpenSim.ini.example are currently mangled 
in OpenSim git master.

OpenSim 0.6.9 should be working fine with groups.
