Not by itself. It was the first piece of the puzzle. I did it to work
late last night.
The problem is that SLAC uses ooss_Stage, not the thing it distributes
to everyone else. (The file is the same, but the behavior is changed by
changing the name to mps_Stage.)
To make it work I had to do the following:
1. Modify mps_Stage so that it never calls the subroutine Xfr_File. The
manual promises that xfrcmd is always called as xfrcmd -f scriptfn
xfrhost xfrport. The subroutine Xfr_File calls it with no arguments.
By commenting out the setting of XfrCmd from the config file, I
prevented Xfr_File from being called.
2. I had to put in an mps.scan directive (Dan Riley was right). That
was the only way to get $Dolink set to 1 in mps_Stage. That's the only
way to get $DoLink set to 1. (It happens in sub InPlace().)
I also noticed that the fix I made to the config parsing is still not
quite good enough. Stripping the white space off $val has to happen
before the splits, since we are splitting on white space. So it
probably should be:
while( <CONFIG> ) {
chomp;
s/#.*$//; #remove comments
s/^\s*//; #remove leading whitespaces
($var, $val) = split(/\s/,$_,2);
$val = (split(/\s/,$val,2))[1] if $val =~ /^=/; # remove =
$var =~ tr/ \t\n//d; #remove whitespaces
$val =~ s/\s*$//; #remove trailing whitespaces
Somebody should think that through a little more, since it may have
other implications.
