Thanks, Kenneth,
I'm trying to go for your option 1), see my other mail about the
problems I'm having there.
It would be helpful if the documentation on readthedocs contained a
small section "Updating an existing easybuild installation", just giving
the options you mention.
Yes, that would make sense...
Would you consider a PR I could prepare to include this in the
documentation?
Certainly! Thank you very much!
The documentation is located at
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/tree/master/docs, PRs should
target the 'develop' branch.
I guess a new section at
http://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation.html would make
most sense?

Kenneth

Hi easybuild experts,
I'm wondering what is the canonical method to update the easybuild
installation? I currently have 2.4.0 installed, and it's working well,
but I'd like to update at least the easyconfigs to 2.7.0.
I cannot find any dedicated information about this in the documentation,
so I'm asking here ...
From the release announcements:
To upgrade to EasyBuild v2.7.0, there are several options:
(i) (re)bootstrap EasyBuild to obtain an EasyBuild/2.7.0 module to
load [1]
(ii) install EasyBuild v2.7.0 with a previous version of EasyBuild,
using the easyconfig file available in [2]
(iii) install EasyBuild v2.7.0 from PyPI, using one of the standard
Python installation tools (easy_install, pip, ...)
(iv) update your Git working copies of the different EasyBuild
repositories
[1]
http://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation.html#bootstrapping-easybuild
[2] https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/2740
Let us know if you have any questions on this.
regards,
Kenneth
