In other words the viewer is normally built as a standalone
application, i.e. the STANDALONE option does the exact opposite of
what you'd expect given the definition of the word. So why not just
invert the meaning of STANDALONE?

No, I certainly don't want to do that (however much sense it might have 
made to do it that way in the first place), because the transition would 
be too confusing.  Besides, we're talking about what happens when you're 
building, not about what happens when the viewer is run by a user.

Re: [opensource-dev] Wild idea on building an install platform

By 'install platform' do you mean "a platform on which I should be able 
to build and install a viewer" ?


I think that the way to approach the difficulties of setting up a proper 
development environment is:


   * Make the environment as simple as possible... unfortunately, ours
 already isn't simple.  Suggestions for how to remove the
 dependency on one or more tools are welcome so long as the result
 works at least as well at present.
   * Document it very cleanly - can always use improvement, but ours is
 not bad (our new CEO was able to follow the setup instructions and
 build a viewer on Windows)
   * Build in checks as early as practical in the build process that
 produce an error message that tells you what part of the
 environment you're missing.

That last could, in theory, be built as a separate tool as you suggest, 
but then we've got one more thing that can get out of sync.  Instead, I 
think we should try to find and correct all the places where something 
obscure happens and add hints.  In short, next time some new dev asks 
for help here on the list or in IRC because they could not understand a 
failure, let's try to:


  1. Check to make sure the setup documentation included the thing they
 missed
  2. Modify the build process so that when that step fails, a message
 comes out that says "check to make sure that you have xxx installed"

Yes.  There are some discussions going on within the Lab about how to 
proceed with viewer customizing, and when that has sorted itself out 
I'll get some information out on the results and how contributors can 
begin this process.

I guess (and that's really just a guess) today's "STANDALONE" refers to
not relying on network connectivity at /build/ time. Whether the shipped
application package is self-contained (i.e. has minimal reliance on
libraries installed on the end user's system) depends mainly on what
libraries get packaged with it (or linked statically, so that they're
included anyway).

Can LL measure this?  What percentage of viewers have Media disabled?

[opensource-dev] Changes on Snowstorm builds no longer showing up

2011-02-23 Thread Hitomi Tiponi
The last couple of Snowstorm test builds (e.g. 
http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/snowstorm_viewer-development/rev/221902/index.html)
 no longer have the 'Changes since last good build' being shown - instead it is 
showing 'Unknown'.  Is this a bug or will it be like this from now on?

You can download the changes.html file from the build results. I know why
the problem exists, and I'll be working on redoing the build results pages.

Meanwhile, please use the changes.html file to look up the changes included
in the current build.
