Hi Fotis,
that one looks a good solution.
one question.....why not adding p7zip as a build dependency? this way
you could avoid extra workarounds like the start_dir = '..' isn't it?
+1 for this
I've tried (and failed) in the past to create a pure way to do iso
extraction in python, but it's far from simple.
adding p7zip ass a builddependency and setting the extract command in
the sources tuple seems like the most practical way to go here.

Good morning Pablo,
I’ve also been there; a “less pure” way to do this is to rely on
p7zip, such as:
https://github.com/fgeorgatos/easybuild.experimental/blob/master/users/fgeorgatos/my_easyblocks/easybuild/easyblocks/MATLAB-2013a.eb
The reason this is not “pure" is that we don’t yet have anything
near “extractdeps”;
ie. deps only become visible at build time rather than extract time.
The workaround is to consider p7zip as yet another source.
To be precice, I am far more emphatic for removing the human hand
from the build processes
rather than looking for perfect purity, so for me the above has
always been the one and only way
to deliver anything that requires .iso extraction (as opposed to
manually creating a tarball).
hope this helps in some way,
F.

tweaking the current easyblock to be sure I do it "the easybuild
way" so it can be merged upstream in the future......if I manage
to get it working :)
