#1721: Simfactory's test mechanism should use softlinks instead of rsync

Reporter: Erik Schnetter Status: open Milestone: Version: development version Type: enhancement Priority: minor Component: SimFactory

Comment (by Roland Haas):

As pointed out in [https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/1721/simfactorys-test-m...) not all clusters allow access to the file system that contains the source code from a running job.

So copies are required there.

To avoid the complication of a cache or determining if symbolic links would work, I suggest we keep the copying.
