Hello Easybuilders,
We've just made the first (and hopefully only) release candidate for
EasyBuild v1.0.0 on PyPi and GitHub (master branches), see links below.
This release of the easybuild-framework, easybuild-easyblocks and
easybuild-easyconfigs packages features the latest and greatest w.r.t.
EasyBuild,
which includes custom support for 77 software packages through dedicated
easyblocks, and is able to build 148 different software packages (see
easyconfigs). All 336 easyconfig files included in this release have
been tested thoroughly on Scientific Linux 5 systems.
Please take the time to test this EasyBuild release as well on your end
(see below).
If you encounter any serious problems with this release that should be
fixed before the final release of EasyBuild v1.0.0, let us know ASAP,
either by replying to this email or by opening issues in one of the
EasyBuild repositories (whichever seems most relevant for the issue at
hand).
In any case, we plan to release EasyBuild v1.0.0 next Wednesday (Nov.
14th 2012).
We will be working on the wiki documentation which is in need of a
serious update in the next couple of days/weeks.
== Testing EasyBuild
Installing EasyBuild should be as easy as running
easy_install --user easybuild
This should fetch and install the three EasyBuild packages from PyPi and
install them.
After updating your PATH variable (e.g., "export
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"), you should be able to run the quick demo
using
eb HPL-2.0-goalf-1.1.0-no-OFED.eb --robot
This will build and install the goalf toolchain, and subsequently build
the HPL benchmark with it (should take about an hour on a modern system).
If that works, you can experiment further as you see fit.
