[Swift-devel] Fwd: Re: chained genU workflow

[Mihael Hategan]

This is the list of things I got from them OOB:
- MPI jobs with the PBS provider. They need to be able to run with more
than one version of MPI.
- Easier configuration of tc.data/sites.xml. Basically they need the
ability to use a global sites.xml while changing only things like the
project profile entry.
- The cleanup didn't work as it was. It would submit a job on the
default execution provider (whatever that was) which needed a project
profile entry, but the swift library didn't provide one. This was solved
by hacking the vdl lib and adding /bin/rm in tc.data.
- They would like the cleanup to be done without pbs in the future
(possibly fork or directly with the fileop provider). There's some
thinking that needs to go here.

That's it I think.
