1.21 deployment fails again. On hold

Filed under: Bugs, Patches, News items, Second Life

Joshua Linden tells us that the rollout of the new 1.21 simulator code (intended to do a number of things, including supporting the new land store) to one rack of servers has not gone so well (again), after reports came in about attachment failures that were traced back to improper permission checks.

The affected simulators have been rolled back to 1.20.1 pending code fixes that are expected no sooner than tomorrow. We expect Linden Lab is pushing hard at this to get the land store back up and running as soon as possible.

Ouch, that's rough. But third times the charm, right?

Is it fair to say that Secondlife is such a mess of code that they have finally got to a point where they cant even update it anymore?

To be fair, it is an extremely complex set of cooperating systems and applications. What with staff turnover, and Linden Lab saying that much of it is undocumented or poorly documented - perhaps they've hit barriers in their understanding of how key pieces are intended to fit together.

Loki:
We don't know anything about the server code status. About the viewer, Rob 'Linden' Lanphier recently stated [*] that it is in a much better shape than last year, and that it's going to get even better. You are obviously free not to believe him.
Personally, I have no reason to think that they 'are at a point where they cant even update it anymore'. However, this is being debated on sldev mailing list and in other places [**]

permission checks? does this mean that there is potential risk that on such updates people will be able to copy no-copy itens, transfer no-trans itens and/or mod no-mod itens?
