Dzonatas, I still want to know what your TPV is called, to assist our discussion.
You are distributing a TPV made by patching Snowglobe sources with the SNOW-375 patch. The archive you are distributing unpacks as "Snowglobe-i686-1.4.0.0", but I rather doubt that you have permission to be distributing a viewer by that name. Seeing as Lindens have stopped even the word "Life" being used in viewer names, it seems probable that they will stop the word "Snowglobe" being used by others as well. We need to know. But we won't know until Merov or some other Linden tells us. Morgaine. ================================== On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 8:30 PM, Dzonatas Sol <dzona...@gmail.com> wrote: > Please note from the jira: "The purpose of this jira is to help further the > process to bring the patch to release quality."
