#619: launching jobs with simfactory without necessarily syncing the sources --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: anonymous | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: optional | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: simfactory remote directory --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
I think that SimFactory should not require the user to configure things which can be determined automatically. If someone is running simfactory from a particular Cactus directory on Damiana, why can't simfactory use that directory to determine the sourcebasedir when building?
The sourcebasedir machine entry should really only be used when determining the destination of a sync command (not the source), and should not be needed when building, running or submitting simulations locally (this implies that the source tree location should be a property of the simulation, not something read from the machine database).
