Dear Yann, On our site, we need the same kind of easyconfig files customization.
Our approach is to maintain our own git branch of the easyconfig repository. - we directly modify the files from the easyconfig files in directory hierarchy - when we want to upgrade EasyBuild, we just merge the upstream easybuild branch in our branch. The merge usually goes smoothly for such small modifications. - At any time, we can run a 'git diff' to check our difference with upstream EasyBuild (and then possibly contribute upstream ;-) ) For example, you can have a look at our site customization here: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/compare/master...ULHPC:uni.lu-v2.7.0 Many changes are due to the location of the licence file. These changes will become unnecessary after https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/1711 is solved.
