Merge conflict in *control*
DAOS requires sudo/root permission, but we do not have sudo/root on Frontera. In run_build.sh:merge_extra_daos_branches(), we merge a “hack” branch for DAOS to compile and run on Frontera. Using the latest branch as a base, we need to create a new branch, rebase on the conflicting commit in DAOS, resolve conflicts, push the branch, and update run_build.sh.
