Hello, yes I found that way to compose a URL, but as you said it doest help in my case.
Enabling the more advanced feature would be perfect.

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. regards, Kenneth
