  • should be done automatically to ensure consistency...
  • via @boegelbot?
    • could react to merged PRs & auto-update documentation in response
    • quite a bit of implementation work to auto-update docs on merged PRs?
  • checking of dependency versions could (also) be added to --check-contrib
    • only for common toolchains (starting with 2018a)
    • download develop of easyconfig repo
    • check whether dependency versions conflict
  • also an issue of missing documentation w.r.t. policy on dependency variants? better error reporting needed in PRs?
