#219: ExternalLibraries method should be documented

The Cactus documentation
http://einsteintoolkit.org/info/documentation/UsersGuide/UsersGuidech6.html…
(scroll down to Compiling with Extra Packages)
currently tells people to use the "extras" method for enabling access to
external libraries such as HDF5, MPI etc. As I understand it, this method
is deprecated in favour of the ExternalLibraries method, and both should
not be used at the same time for the same library.
The documentation should be updated to describe the ExternalLibraries
method, and the old method description should be moved to an appendix with
a clear warning that this is deprecated.

#131: Cactus produces way too much output with SILENT!=no
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: knarf | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I frequently find me scrolling through a lot of not necessary output from
Cactus, including a lot of divider lines (___). I propose a mechanism to
disable most of that output. There is currently one parameter which
influences the amount of output from Cactus. If SILENT is set to 'no',
Cactus provides way more output. All other values produce the usual output
(including not setting it). I propose to use this existing variable to
make Cactus less verbose if SILENT ist set to 'yes'. The default is
'undefined', so this would preserve the default Cactus behaviour.
The attached patch attempts to do this: it suppresses divider lines, pre-
and postprocessing infos if SILENT='yes'. I don't like that name though,
as this is still not really silent, as you will still see one line per
compiled file (ala COMPILING /home/frank.loeffler/mcrt/src/main/Banner.c),
but I don't have a better idea right now and could live with it. The other
option would be to introduce another variable (e.g. BRIEF), but then BRIEF
and SILENT could contradict each other.

#203: Add shallow clone to hg

Git and darcs offer a shallow clone option (--depth 1 for git and --lazy
for darcs). Hg can accomplish a similar thing by running hg clone -r tip
URL. This should be implemented following the same rules as shallow clones
for git and darcs.

#143: ETK "Chandrasekhar" release: HDF5 "BUILD" option failing on MacOSX +
openmpi.
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter: bernard.j.kelly@… | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: major
Milestone: ET_2010_11 | Component: Other
Version: ET_2010_11 | Keywords: HDF5 openmpi
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
We've recently tried compiling the latest ETK official release
("Chandrasekhar") on our Macbooks. To get a working HDF5 installation
compatible with the build, we've selected "HDF5_DIR=BUILD". This fails,
however. I'm attaching my user-specified Cactus config. options, as well
as the Thornlist used, and the error messages.
My machine is running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard), and the compiler is openmpi
[i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)],
installed via macports.

#207: Cactus should have an option to store the mpirun command needed to run test
cases
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

Cactus should be able to remember from configuration the mpirun command
syntax needed to run test cases. This would simplify running test cases,
which could then probably even be automated.
