Add 'local' machine entry

Issue #80 closed
anonymous created an issue

It's currently necessary to set a machine entry for the local machine, even if it's not used for compiling/running Cactus. This is not obvious from the defs.local.ini.simple file.

I suggest adding a 'local' machine to the mdb and then putting the options that are required into defs.local.ini.simple so that users know what they need to specify. Something like:

[local] sourcebasedir = ... basedir = ... aliaspattern = ... hostname = ...

    Simfactory now includes several methods to simplify initial configuration. Once simfactory has been downloaded, you can issue the following commands to setup your local environment so you can run simfactory:

    simfactory setup (interactive, asks a few questions) simfactory setup-silent (assumes reasonable default values, and doesn't ask any questions)
