Don't we need to make a distinction between 'service' modules (such as the REST module) and scene/environment modules though? The former are not attached to a scene (and may well never be concerned with scene code) while the latter are very much scene related. > * break up the region module super-DLL so that each region module > gets a DLL of its own At least on mono, I'm guessing that this would vastly expand build times. Certainly at the moment, each invocation of mono to build a new assembly appears to take far longer than building many files in a single dll. I also tend to think of the current modules in OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules as fairly core modules that one would expect to be packaged together, and which it would be inconvenient to split up. > > this would make the whole region module business much more, err, modular > (and, who knows, perhaps we'd even have one day a build system like the > "make menuconfig" one found in the linux kernel tree) > > what is the general opinion on this? i'd be willing to undertake the > refactoring (including tackling the prebuild.xml dragon). > > DrS/dirk > > -- > dr dirk husemann ---- virtual worlds research ---- ibm zurich research lab > SL: dr scofield ---- drscofi...@xyzzyxyzzy.net ---- http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/ > RL: h...@zurich.ibm.com - +41 44 724 8573 - http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~hud/ > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Opensim-dev mailing list > Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev -- justincc Justin Clark-Casey http://justincc.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
