Agenda

Notes

EasyBuild 2.1
EasyBuild on Cray
Support for module properties
  • properties: namespace/values (dict)
  • define known properties in EasyBuild config, tell Lmod about them by generating another $LMODRC file
  • keywords (non-Lmod specific), whatis
  • some properties will be in easyconfig (e.g. arch, moduleclass), others will
Packaging support
  • should work now, needs docs and feedback
  • get in for EB v2.2 under --experimental
  • support for installing FPM with EB is a prerequisite
  • way in which dependencies are handled may require more flexibility to let people do what they want
  • package per EB installation vs multiple EB installations in a single RPM (e.g. Szip+HDF5+netCDF @ TACC)
    • let Bundle easyblock do multiple installs by calling out to different easyblocks, then create package + module?
  • TACC as a prime tester? keep under --experimental until after hackathon in Austin?
    • already requests received to support EB @ TACC
DB support for tracking module usage in Lmod
  • via a dedicated hook
    • accompanying analysis tools
