Hi Jack, I've thought about extending the github support within EB. Currently, you can use --from-pr to use easyconfig from a PR. This could be extended to use any fork of the easyconfigs on github. It simply has to download the tree, extract it and add it to the robot path. That is still somewhat different from what you want but it boils down to the same: download, extract and add to robot path. The major complication is of course when the easyblock also requires changes. We would need a way to signal a minimum version. Ward
