MITgcm_contrib/test_scripts/README.txt



The directories here contain shell scripts used to automate testing on
various systems.  The directory names approximately match the machine
or cluster "nicknames" for which they are intended.  For a description
of the machines and the latest testing output, please see:

======================================================================

NOTE: mpack problems

The mpack utility is used by testreport to mime-encode and email the
testing results back to the mitgcm.org server.  There appears to be a
problem with the mpack utility on some 64-bit systems.  Notably,
emails sent from the following systems:

  SGI Altix
  AMD Opteron

will consistently result in errors ("MIME file corrupted in transit").
Perhaps the mpack utility is not "64-bit clean" and this is
interpreted by munpack as an error during transmission?
