Notes

EasyBuild v2.1 outlook
Support for --hide-deps (Pablo)
  • certainly interesting for JSC as well to avoid accidental installations of non-hidden zlib
  • better option than adding support for hidden = True in easyconfigs, so that would also require listing that dependency via hiddendependencies in other easyconfigs
Docker test setup
  • Robert: Docker setup for automated testing PRs * focused on foss toolchains for now * packaging support would help to avoid rebuilding everything from scratch (seed toolchain build via RPMs) * also interested to look into pulling in required easyblock PRs
    • just looking for easyblocks PR URL in easyconfig PR description is probably sufficient
