Hello Kenneth, We have EasyBuild-1.2.0 installed on our system. I need to upgrade to v1.6.0. Will the bootstrap installation upgrade the current version to the newer one if I set the installation path (--prefix) to the current installation location? or, I have to make a fresh installation and then point the environment variables to the new installation?

We have passed the thresholds of supporting more than 300 different software packages (314 now in total), and of supplying over 1,500 easyconfig files. The latter only makes the need for the "fat" easyconfigs support even larger, but that feature has (again) been postponed for a future release... EasyBuild v1.6.0 basically passed a full regression test [1], although with one (very) minor hickup. For one of the 1,524 builds, a single one of the 2000+ unit tests specific to that software package (CP2K) failed consistently. Since this is clearly a non-blocker given the very limited scope, we just opened an issue for this problem [2], and continued with the release process. EasyBuild v1.6.0 is available via GitHub[3] and PyPi [4]. Enjoy! Note: due to summer holidays, the next EasyBuild release is planned for end of August 2013 (not end of July as per the usual monthly release schedule). regards, Kenneth EasyBuild release manager [1] https://jenkins1.ugent.be/view/EasyBuild/job/easybuild-full-regtest_develop/ [2] https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/issues/365 [3] http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework, http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks,http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs [4] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/easybuild
