Hello EasyBuilders,
After running a full regression test in which all current easyconfig files are
built, and resolving the problems that popped up during that test, we are ready
to release a first release candidate for EasyBuild v1.6.0.
A second attempt to pass a full regression test is currently under way, and it
seems like all problem have indeed been resolved (with a handful of builds
still pending).
To install EasyBuild v1.6.0rc1, use something like:
easy_install --prefix=$HOME/.local
http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/archive/v1.6.0.x.tar.gz
easy_install --prefix=$HOME/.local
http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks/archive/v1.6.x.tar.gz
easy_install --prefix=$HOME/.local
http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/archive/v1.6.x.tar.gz
(and then set your $PATH and $PTYHONPATH correctly)
If you run into problems with this release candidate, please notify us by
replying to this email or opening an issue.
The intent is to release EasyBuild v1.6.0 tomorrow (Thursday July 11th 2013).
regards,
Kenneth
