I thought .ebp may be poor approach, until I saw the above :) for reference: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/544 The concept of piping easyconfigs via a pipe *filter* might prove generic; using prefix-matching (fi. OpenMPI*, HPCBIOS_*, R-3*) could prove quite useful. Let me iterate here the requirements we would like to meet, they are: * modify all OpenMPIs in one place => be generic across multiple easyconfigs * be portable across sites => preferably, a little git'able file * ability to survive EasyBuild upgrades (for me that’s a major point) * if possible, propagate modifications to users’ environments (think INTEL_LICENSE_SERVER) (this last one is somewhat controversial, no need to comment on that) Fotis -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # signal detected in a CERN forum
