[opensource-dev] being forced to upgrade to "2.1 Alpha" release

2010-06-14 Thread Opensource Obscure

Some users report they were forced to download the
2.0.2, "2.1 Alpha" release.

Is it correct to assume this only happens to those 
who had installed a previous Beta release,
and that this does NOT happen to those who only
used 'stable' 2.x releases?

This Alpha has a lot of great improvements but also
some important misbehaviour (say scripts). Maybe this
won't be a surprise for most of you, but I have the 
feeling that this test release is being used even for
common daily tasks (while it shouldn't) from a relevant
number of users.

More likely only to those still using the last Beta release.

I used the stable 2.0.2 release quite a bit this weekend and was not 
prompted to upgrade, so I suspect it's just the old Beta releases that 
are doing that.

Re: [opensource-dev] viewer-external update

2010-06-14 Thread Philippe (Merov) Bossut
Hi,

Update on viewer-external: the last 2 "hg pull" from viewer-public keep
failing when building on all platforms and, therefore, do not get to the
export stage (we export only if builds pass).

I think I identified the culprit: a bunch of new files and dependencies
added for crash tracking.

I'll be working with Lindens to determine what to do with those files and
dependencies with respect to FLOSS.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers,
- Merov
