OK, this is really nice to hear, I hadn’t realised. > A next goal could be to support bootstrapping offline. > There are already some provisions for this in the bootstrap script [1], but > it's not complete yet to fully support offline installation. I would add in the wish list - if possible at all - to have the choice for a fixed version of EB (fi. by giving a specific version tarball etc). This is so, that canned responses [*] will actually work; from there, we should be able to setup Lmod, as well as any higher version of EB with much ease. I could trim down canned responses [*] to the essential with some tricks, and then the fixed version makes it far more reliable. If anybody is willing to spend time advancing on this, before a hackathon, I’m more than happy to take the passenger’s seat! F.
