Notes

EUM agenda
2018a common toolchains
Support for parsing/querying version ranges (for different use cases)
  • relevant for:
  • ideally whatever version range notations we want to support are implemented in a single location in the EasyBuild framework
    • functions like parse_version_range, is_version_in_range, etc.
    • existing libraries for this?
      • how is this done in RPMs (.spec files)?
      • pip supports some kind of ranges in requirements.txt files, how implemented?
  • native YAML in (recent v3.x?) Python
