#1864: Cactus build fails on file systems that do not update timestamps all the time ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: review Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: backport ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
Note that the observed symptom was that changes to the thornlist of a configuration were not reflected in the list of thorns Cactus thought were available at runtime, even though they were linked in to the executable at link time. i.e. the link line did not match the output of cactus_sim -T. So if a new thorn was added, Cactus failed when activating the thorn, as it thought the thorn was not present. If a thorn was removed, Cactus failed at link time, because the bindings were still referring to the thorn, even though it was not linked in. When this is fixed, we should announce it to the mailing list, in case people are running into this problem.
