[Opensim-users] Matching, mapping user UUIDs between servers

[Rick Anderson]

I tried doing this manually:
Get UUID from old system, get UUID from new system
save oar from original server "general1.oar"
move oar to new server
$mkdir tmp
$cd tmp
$tar xvzf ../general1.oar

$ grep -rl 7bf01a6a-b906-42a3-a6ab-8bc20e840a4d . | wc

   2052    8815  183917

$ find .  -iname "*.xml" -exec  sed -i
 's/7bf01a6a-b906-42a3-a6ab-8bc20e840a4d/6f500ef7-fafe-4909-94d6-057fb4e3cada/g'
{} +

$ find .  -iname "*.txt" -exec  sed -i
 's/7bf01a6a-b906-42a3-a6ab-8bc20e840a4d/6f500ef7-fafe-4909-94d6-057fb4e3cada/g'
{} +

$ grep -rl 7bf01a6a-b906-42a3-a6ab-8bc20e840a4d . | wc

      0       0       0
$tar cvzf ../general1u.oar  archive.xml .

It turns out that archive.xml has to be first in the archive. But even with
that fix the updated OAR file won't find all it's contents. Does the OAR
file have to signed or ordered even more than that to repack and use?
