I'd say the code is relatively buggy and intractable by the standards of (different sorts of) projects I'm used to. [I say that neutrally, and I haven't worked on a more-or-less equivalent system, say SLURM, to compare.] I don't know when most regressions in the 6.2 series occurred, and they're not all easy to spot in change logs, but possibly the version in use at UCL was in something of a sweet spot. I'd expect our usage to be similar to UCL's as far as showing them up. As it happens, I've recently been fighting a spooling regression (and cocked up pushing the patch -- thanks Florian). _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
