#1644: create defs.local.ini when it does not exist -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: development version Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- simfactory needs to be configured before it can be used even on a machine that is in the machine database. This can be done by copying and editing an existing defs.local.ini or by calling "sim setup". Since simfactory cannot function without this setup procedure (since not all of the machine.ini files set eg email and user keys), simfactory should detect if defs.local.ini is missing and offer to enter setup if this is the case.
This would be closer to how most unix tools work, that create a functioning, default rc file when they are first started.
