But I'm sure I can somehow get there. How would the decision which easyblock version to use be done properly? I'd somehow have to add support for WRF >= 3.8 without taking away support for earlier versions. Would that go via subclassing the EB_WRF class? If so, how would I ensure that EasyBuild automatically picks the correct easyblock depending on the version? But maybe I should start working on the right regexp ... ;) Sunny greetings, Andreas. -- Dr. Andreas Hilboll Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM) - AND - Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) University of Bremen U3145 Otto-Hahn-Allee 1 D-28359 Bremen Germany +49(0)421 218 62133 (phone) +49(0)421 218 98 62133 (fax) http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de/~hilboll
