Hello list,
is there a way to pass options to the source urls? This can be useful
for downloading software such as Java this way completely automating
the build process (without relying on the user to download it).
No, not really.
There is some support for 'compose' a source URL, for example:
sources = [SOURCELOWER_TAR_GZ]
source_urls =
[('http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/zlib/%(version)s',
'download')]
This will basically result in using a source URL like:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/zlib/1.2.8/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz/download
Something more advanced is currently not supported yet, but it has been
mentioned in the past.
The problem to Java specifically, is that we probably don't want to
automagically accept the Java EULA/license by default in the easyconfigs
we include in EasyBuild for Java.
But enabling it, so people can automate the installation fully
themselves, makes sense.

Kenneth
