Hi all, After another round of testing a couple of small bugs showed up in the v1.0.0-rc1 release.
I fixed those, did another round of testing to confirm that these bugs were fixed, and pushed a second release candidate (rc2) for easybuild-easyblocks and easybuild-easyconfigs (and for the meta-package easybuild as well) to GitHub and PyPi. The framework was unaffected, the bugs were limited to particular software packages. regards, Kenneth On 07 Nov 2012, at 18:10, Kenneth Hoste wrote: > 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).
