Information about Magnuz Binder's work with the OpenSimulator codebase.
Magnuz Binder is neither a C# programmer nor an OpenSimulator developer, but has found a few bugs in OpenSimulator, managed to locate some of them in the OpenSimulator codebase, and submit code patches to fix some.
He also follows the OpenSimulator code development closely, and makes some own analyses and compilations from it.
Mantis is the report systems where bugs found in OpenSimulator should be reported.
GIT is the versioning system used to manage the OpenSimulator codebase.
This is a suggested workflow for working with patches to the OpenSimulator codebase, adapted for Ubuntu 14.04.
This assumes you already have components for running OpenSimulator and your editor installed.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core nant nunit-console

git config --global user.name "Your Name" # nick or real
git config --global user.email your.name@yourhost.com # valid e-mail
git config --global core.editor emacs # or nano, pico, vi, vim, or other favorite editor
git config --list
mkdir ~/patches # directory to collect patch files
git clone git://opensimulator.org/git/opensim ~/opensim_repo
cd ~/opensim_repo/
git checkout master
git pull

nant test
If you use MySQL or PostgreSQL, you will need to set up a database for the new simulator. You may also need to set up routers and firewalls for it.
