[Swift-devel] Re: swift + condor-g

[Ben Clifford]

It has more serious problems (as in problems that stop it working for me 
entirely) that are perhaps more important to address. The changes I made 
to get it going with condor-g (but some are to make it work with 
condor-anything) are in here:

http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~benc/tmp/condor-g.patch

In summary what I changed to make it run at UJ are:

 * exit code handling - the in-SVN version expects an exit code file to 
appear but never gets one. the patch removes that expectation - I haven't 
looked enough to see if it returns exit codes properly or not because 
Swift doesn't care.

 * LeaveJobInQueue needs to have no + at the start of it (I can't find 
much clear documentation about this on the condor web site)

 * quoting is kinda screwy (as seems traditional with condor) - what 
breaks running first.swift is for an empty argument, he preent quoting 
behaviour makes the swift wrapper look forinput file called "" rather than 
taking no input files.

The patch above contains some other mess, as well as the changes I made to 
get it to submit to the OSG CE at UJ.
