Hi, The Lmod fixes remind me of various offhand references to using Lmod to simplify naming in Easybuild via module hierarchies. So instead of users having to deal with toolchain names such as (for example) "Boost/1.53.0-goalf-1.5.12-no-OFED-Python-2.7.5”, and variants with different version mubers, users would just do “module load Boost/1.53.0”, and then “module avail” to see what has just become available to load since this Boost was chosen.
So, I was wondering if you could describe further plans along these lines, integrating Easybuild with Lmod’s use of module hierarchies. And any guesses at timing.

More particularly: - bootstrapping EasyBuild with Lmod was broken - using Lmod as a modules tool required alwyas using --allow-modules- tool-mismatch The tests run by Jenkins [0] were enhanced to avoid that we break bootstrap script without being made aware. The bug fixes are confined to the easybuild-framework repository only, but the versions of the easybuild-easyblocks and easybuild-easyconfigs packages were bumped too , to keep them in sync with easybuild-framework. As usual, this release is available via GitHub and PyPi [4]. Updating to EasyBuild v1.12.1 can be done by reinstalling EasyBuild from PyPi (don't forget the -U option if you're using easy_install), updating your GitHub repository clones, or installing EasyBuild with EasyBuild using the easyconfig file in attachment (the latter requires EasyBuild v1.8.2 or more recent). Enjoy! regards, Kenneth [1] http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework, http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks, http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs [2] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/easybuild
