On a Linux-x86_64 system, kernel 4.12.12, boinc 7.6.33. The sched_reply_einstein... file sometimes has LOTS of <report_on_rpc/> tags that are unknown to the 7.6.33 boinc xml parser and result in an entry in the event log (if the "unparsed_xml" option is selected in the event diagnostic log flags) "[unparsed_xml] FILE_INFO::parse(): unrecognized: report_on_rpc/" . It is only a nuisance issue, hence posting in the Wish List forum instead of the Problems/Bugs forum.
Apparently this has been around for many years...
David 24 Apr 2011 - client: simplify the semantics of sticky files: - All sticky files are reported on each scheduler RPC - If a scheduler reply says to delete a file, clear its sticky flag In particular: - remove the "send file list" tag in scheduler RPC replies - remove FILE_INFO::marked_for_delete - remove FILE_INFO::report_on_rpc - remove the request_file_list program
I am told that this may be a relic of old E@H server code that is being kept intact for compatibility with equally old clients. Even though it is (probably) harmless, I just WISH that E@H servers didn't send .xml tags that are not part of the current boinc client.
/Gene/ spending more time on E@H while Seti is recovering...

The problem is that old clients (pre-7) that we still have a couple of absolutely need this to report the "sticky" files they have, which our "locality scheduling" relies on.
