#1996: Formaline can deadlock -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: ET_2016_11 Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- I found that Formaline recently started to deadlock when creating git repositories. The problem was that {{{cat}}} was called without arguments. This patch corrects the problem:
Change line 382 from {{{ cat $(filter-out '$(TARBALL_DIR)/config-Cactus.files', $?) && \ }}} to {{{ cat /dev/null $(filter-out '$(TARBALL_DIR)/config- Cactus.files', $?) && \ }}} i.e. add a {{{/dev/null}}} there.
