It would be useful for the footer of a mailing list posting to contain a
URL to the archived version of the message so that it is easy to point
people to the message in an email. This would apply to both the Cactus
and the ET lists.
It appears that this is not straightforward in MailMan 2, but is expected
in version 3: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-

#1471: Cactus should auto-detect newer versions of GCC from MacPorts
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Currently, during Cactus configuration without an optionlist on Mac OS, I
get
{{{
checking for gcc-mp-4.4... no
checking for gcc-mp-4.3... no
checking for gcc-mp-4.2... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes
}}}
I have gcc-mp-4.6, and 4.7 and 4.8 are also available in macports. The
configure script should be updated to detect these versions.

#1170: ExtrenalLibraries handle XXX_DIR XXX_INC_DIRS and XXX_LIB_DIRS
incosistently
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version:
Keywords: ExternalLibraries |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
This is a companion ticket to #1006.
Different thorns (eg. MPI and HDF5 and LAPACK) handle XXX_DIR and
XXX_INC_DIRS etc differently. MPI for example sets the include path to
$MPI_DIR/include if MPI_INC_DIRS is not explicitly set and to MPI_INC_DIRS
if it is set. HDF5 has no HDF5_INC_DIRS option and always sets the include
path to HDF5_DIR/include. LAPACK has not INC_DIRS option and sets the
linker path to LAPACK_DIR while the other two thorns set it to XXX_DIR/lib
(unless overridden by MPI_LIB_DIRS in the case of MPI).
I would be good to present a uniform set of option for all these thorns.

#1474: compile ExternalLibraries with other thorns rather than when CST runs
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Compiling external libraries takes a long time by now. Currently this
happens very early in the compilation phase, before the other thorns are
compiled.
It would be better if the compilation happened at the same time as that of
other thorns.
This will entail splitting the configuration ie. detecting whether to
build the included source or use a system wide copy from the compilation,
most likely either using Cactus makefile variables or temporary files to
transfer the decisions from the configuration stage to the build stage.

#1599: CarpetInterp/waveinterp_2p tests constant in time initial data
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Carpet | Version: development version
Keywords: CarpetInterp |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
the test waveinterp_2p sets up initial data using IDWaveMoL (fom
CactusExamples) using kx=ky=kz = 0. and slopet = 0.1. Ie the initial data
is constant in space and has frequency 0.1. It then evolves this using
WaveMoL and interpolates in space and time with CarpetInterp.
Since the function is constant in space (exactly so, see eg the output in
InterpToArray::array1d_vars[0]) the interpolation in space just tests
roundoff errors. The second time derivative (array1d_vars[2]) should be
zero and all we measure in the test is truncation errors on the level of
1e-9. This makes the test very sensitive to -Ofast, -O0, gcc vs. intel
etc. and not a very good test.
I would rather either use a Gausian wave for initial data so that there is
some actual data in the result and not just numerical noise, or leave out
the 2nd time derivative from the test data.
The test fails due to significant errors in a virtual machine using
ubuntu.cfg (which usies -ffast-math and -O2).

the attached patch goes to some lengths to capture both stdout and stderr
when executing commands and displays each line of output as it is
generated by the command. This is useful for programs that output prompts
to stdout and wait for user input afterwards.

#68: GetComponents hang due to certificate issues.

I did a complete new checkout of the EinsteinToolkit on numrel06 using the
version of GetComponents available on the EinsteinToolkit web pages and
had GetComponents
hang with no errors or warnings when checking out
AEIThorns/AEILocalInterp.
Trying the checkout manually I got:
Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.aei.mpg.de:443':
- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!

After accepting the certificate and restarting the checkout proceeded
without problems.

#181: AEILocalInterp should not off-centre the interpolation stencil by default
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: AEILocalInterp |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
AEILocalInterp by default will off-centre the interpolation stencil if
there are insufficient points to perform the interpolation. In a parallel
setting, this could happen due to there being insufficient ghost points
for the interpolator chosen. The off-centering leads to an interpolation
error which is of the correct order but larger than for a centered
stencil. More importantly, it leads to different results on different
numbers of processes. This violates a basic design principle of Cactus,
and the expectation of users, that changing the number of processors
should not change the results of a simulation.
I propose that instead of silently off-centering the stencil,
AEILocalInterp should abort with an error indicating that there are
insufficient ghost-zones. The interpolator options corresponding to this
are:
boundary_off_centering_tolerance={0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0}
boundary_extrapolation_tolerance={0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0}
