#980: Remove support for the flesh-based library mechanism --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2014_11 Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Description changed by knarf:
Old description:
The flesh-based MPI mechanism has just been deprecated in favour of ExternalLibraries/MPI. Even though the latter is new, it is probably a good idea to completely disable the old mechanism since having any mixture of thorns/optionlists using the old and new mechanisms is completely untested and will likely lead to problems and confusion. It's better to give a useful fatal error message if someone still specifies "MPI = " in their optionlist than to have things break in other weird and wonderful ways.
