Notes

EasyBuild v3.3.0
SHA256 checksums
  • Travis config changed to get list of touched files in PRs
  • towards enforcing SHA256 checksums in PRs
  • test reports for PRs with --stop=fetch --upload-test-report to verify checksums
  • Fotis: bypass checksum verification by using --try-software-version...
    • required for cuDNN, upstream tarballs are fingerprinted?
    • Fotis: better to have dedicated --skip-checksums option?
    • Davide: also need a way to tell EB to ignore checksums for specific easyconfigs?
    • Fotis: support for providing site-specific checksums?
--detect-loaded-modules
  • https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/2228
  • include supported values for --detect-loaded-modules in error message?
  • also include link to documentation?
  • should we ignore EasyBuild by default?
    • by default: --allow-loaded-modules=EasyBuild
    • what if EasyBuild module, but different EasyBuild installation is loaded?
Support for renaming sources on download
  • https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/2223
  • PR will probably go in without support for specifying checksums within sources parameter for now, can be enhanced later
  • Damian has some feedback on exact names for dict keys, currently: filename, extract_cmd, download_filename
