Notes

2016a common toolchains
  • foss/2016a + intel/2016a are considered good to go
    • tested w/ Python, Perl, CMake, Boost, ...
  • foss/2015.12 w/ GCC 5.3.0
  • JSC: GCCcore 4.9.3 + GCC 5.3 + Parastation MPI (w/ ABI compat)
Feedback on eb --new-pr/--update-pr
  • required setup?
  • for now, only easyconfig files
    • patches?
      • right location can't derived reliably, will need to be specified
      • e.g. to add a patch file for make: eb --new-pr make.eb fix-make.patch:GCC
    • removal of easyconfigs not supported yet
      • e.g. eb --new-pr :make-1.4-GCC-4.6.3.eb (analogous to "git push :")
    • --new-pr/--update-pr can be updated to also support easyblocks/framework
  • current implementation of eb --new-pr/--update-pr will be included in EB v2.6.0 under --experimental
Outlook to EasyBuild v2.6.0
  • https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/issues/176
  • most things that will go in are about to be merged
    • --new-pr needs unit tests
    • --last-log is good to go
    • 2016a toolchains are good to go
  • Python-related fixes are probably not going to make it in
  • bugfix for known issue with modpath_extensions_for and module files in Lua syntax is not ready yet
