#450: Output elapsed times for test cases

To ensure that Cactus test cases don't run for too long, and to identify
those that do, we should output the run time for all test cases together
with their results.

#229: Using a nonexistent header file should lead to an error message
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
If I have the following in my interface.ccl,
USES INCLUDE: vectors.h
but no thorn in my thornlist provides this header file, there is no error
at compile time. Further, if I #include this file in my source file, an
empty file is included, which means that again I don't get an error. The
first indication that something is wrong is that the contents of the
header file are not available, which makes debugging the problem with the
thornlist very confusing.
I propose that the CST should emit a fatal error if one of the thorns
tries to use a header file which does not exist.

#705: Activation Order in Parameter Files

At the moment the ActiveThorns list is sensitive to the order in which
thorns are activated if the ActiveThorns parameter is updated multiple
times. However, it is not sensitive to the order in which thorns are
activated if all thorns are specified in a single line. This inconsistency
should be removed, and the order should not matter in either case.

The order in which the ticket states is displayed (in the form where one
modifies the ticket state) should be the natural order in which a ticket
progresses. The current order is somewhat random.
I suggest this order:
new
confirmed
accept
reassign
review
resolve

#519: Add all ET repositories to TRAC
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit trac | Version:
Keywords: |
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
TRAC provides integration with version control systems. It has a list of
repositories, and specific changesets and files can be referred to in
ticket comments and wiki pages using a convenient syntax. Several ET
repositories have been added already. I think this feature is useful, and
that the remaining repositories should be added.
It would be nice if the links were easier to type. I propose omitting the
arrangement name from the repositories, as all thorn names are probably
unique, and avoiding spaces which require extra quoting. We have several
repositories in Git and Mercurial. It would be nice to include those as
well. I believe that there are TRAC plugins to accomplish this in the
same way as for SVN.

#650: User is not asked for Mercurial authentication information initially
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: eric9
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: GetComponents | Version:
Keywords: |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
When running GetComponents without the "-a" (anonymous) option, the user
is asked initially for authentication information for any authenticated
repositories. However, the Carpet repository is not included in this
list. This leads to the authentication prompt much later when Carpet is
actually being checked out, and here it is not possible to say
"anonymous". I believe the problem occurs on line 846 of GetComponents:
{{{
# if AUTH_URL is defined we want to find the username:
if (
defined( $component->{AUTH_URL} )
and ( $component->{TYPE} eq 'cvs'
or $component->{TYPE} eq 'svn'
or $component->{TYPE} eq 'darcs'
or $component->{TYPE} eq 'git' )
)
{
}}}
where Mercurial (hg) is not included in that list. The attached
(untested) patch adds hg to that list, but I don't know if this is
sufficient to fix the problem.

#322: SimFactory metadata deleted by periodic filesystem purges
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Production filesystems are subject to periodic purges (typically on the
order of weeks or months) where data which has not been accessed recently
is deleted. This means that it is possible for some restarts of very
long-running simulations to be deleted by the system. This can be
addressed by an automated archiving system, but such a system does not
address the problem that the simulation metadata directory (currently
called SIMFACTORY) and any restarts which have not been run yet, will also
be purged. This would make it impossible to submit future restarts and
limits the number of chained restarts you can submit to the purge time of
the system.
One possibility to solve this problem would be to store a backup, or
"shadow" copy of all the simulation metadata in a non-volatile location.
This could be the user's home directory, or a "work" directory which is
not purged. The details would need to be worked out.
This is not a serious issue yet.

#591: Add harmonic shift to McLachlan
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version:
Keywords: McLachlan |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
The attached patch adds a harmonic shift condition to McLachlan. It does
this by introducing a new real-valued parameter harmonicShift. This
should be set to 0 for gamma-driver shift (the default, and the existing
behaviour), and to 1 for harmonic shift. This is useful for code-
correctness tests with the shifted gauge wave which is an exact solution
of the Einstein equations in harmonic gauge. The harmonic shift equation
has been tested with the shifted gauge wave exact solution and yields
convergence to the exact solution.
The current way that gauge conditions is handled in McLachlan is not very
elegant, and I don't think this patch should be applied as-is. I am
putting it here for anyone who might find it useful.

Cactus offers CCTK_COMPLEX. This maps to the standard datatype in Fortran,
but not in C or C++. It should map to the standard datatypes in C and C++
as well, so that the growing body of code written in C and C++ can
reasonably make use of complex numbers.
