#1248: SimFactory should not silently disable thorns ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- It is very confusing when you have a thorn in your thornlist, and simfactory silently disables it because it is included in the "disabled- thorns" entry of the machine. SimFactory should at the very least print a message warning the user when the job is submitted that certain thorns requested in the thornlist have been disabled. Printing it when building won't be enough, as the output will likely get lost, but it should also be printed there. It would also be useful to have an option to disable the disabling code, as it has always confused me and wasted my time, and never benefitted me, to my knowledge.
