[Users] Einstein Toolkit Meeting

[Frank Loeffler]

Hi

Please consider joining the weekly Einstein Toolkit phone call at
10 am US central time on Mondays. As usual, you can find instructions
how to join on the following web site:

   http://einsteintoolkit.org/community/support/

I short: the number is (+1) 225-578-4942 or (+1) 866-573-0359 and
         the conference id is 118682#.

Eight tickets have been closed last week [1]. This includes
- The flesh repository doesn't contain the 'arrangements' directory
  anymore. It created problems when checking out thornlists in parallel
  when thorns got checked out before the flesh. This does not mean that
  there is no arrangements directory anymore. It just means that
  GetComponents is now creating it (or a user by hand), not the
  checkout of the flesh itself.
- CarpetEvolutionMask is now used (optional) within GRHydro
- Cactus doesn't allow negative error levels anymore. This in particular
  means that calls like CCTK_WARN(0,"") will always abort the run.
- The default for WARN in some generic option lists has been changed to
  "yes". This in particular changed the osx-* and sl6* optionlists.
  Depending on the rest of your option list you might now see more or a
  lot more warnings when compiling. We are (constantly) working on that.

Warnings:

A daily overview is generated at [2] but this location is likely to
change in the future. At the moment, about 99% of the warnings are
generated by warnings about 'shadowed' variables. This means this is
very likely all valid code, but unfortunately also a pattern for a
common error, thus the warning. It seems to be connected to the thorn
Vectors, which is used in especially Kranc-generated code. A nice
solution to this problem would be appreciated. :)
