Hi Oliver, We don't really have support for that at the moment but you try this: Download all git repo's you need through the usual download link: https://github.com/ekg/freebayes/archive/c15a28363.zip
And repeat this for all 3 sub repo's. Than you still have to move the repo into the right subdirectory and tell EB which directory is the 'start_dir' with the start_dir = "freebayes" The moving can be done with a preconfigopts like: preconfigopts = "mv ../vcflib vcflib ; mv ... ; " It's ugly but the clean way would propably be to use a custom easyblock. There is an open PR for freebayes: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/1165 but that skips the download issue by requiring a manual download ;) Ward On Wed, Jun 10, 2015 at 10:36 AM, Stolpe, Oliver <oliver.sto...@charite.de> wrote: > Hello mailinglist, > > I wondered if there is a possibility to configure or write an easyblock to > do a recursive github checkout instead of fetching files.
