and whether we want to provide "generic" option lists for common OSs in simfactory.
We already do for several, and I strongly believe that this is a good idea.
Also, I would like to suggest that each of the machines in simfactory (at least the most important, but also the generic ones) get an official maintainer. That would make it easier to find the one that might actually know something about that particular machine. For example I found this weekend that with what is in simfactory I cannot build on kraken and I wonder who would be best to ask about that machine.
(on that particular issue: the current default optionlist uses the intel12 compiler (as 'cc'). However, simfactory does apparently not switch to that module when you login (using 'sim login'). Even when I do that by hand I get link errors that look like some intel library is missing from the link-line. I didn't investigate further yet.)
