I have been struggling with creating a clean environment in which to build with
EasyBuild and test easyconfigs.
Incidentally, I am using LXD currently to generate a clean Ubuntu containers, into which
I am bootstrapping EasyBuild with minimal packages. I hope to have the whole thing
automated with Jenkins in the next week or two. I have tested CentOS and Opensuse
containers as well, so I plan to incorporate those for full testing. I also intend to
have our "production" easybuilds run in these containers, with our distribution
file system mounted.
On this specific point, Robert has done some work on using containers - he
mentioned it in passing in his presentation at the user meeting.
I think lots of us would be interested if you’re able to share your work here.
Late to the party, but: +1 on this.
We should really work towards testing pull requests in isolation of the OS.
I've been eyeballing Nix/Guix for a while now to set up something like
that, but I haven't gotten around to it yet...
And work on a single bundle/module for the whole X11 stack, since that's
clearly a royal PITA.
The added advantage of that is that it's trivial for people to rely on
the OS instead of X11 stuff, by simply using --filter-deps=X11 (or similar).

Kenneth
