Hi all,

I'm trying to build mxnet thru EasyBuild. It's quite a challenge ...

First question:

mxnet docs tell you to do git clone https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet.git ~/mxnet 
--recursive to download the source. If I try to specify 
sources = ['%(name)s-%(version)s.tar.gz']
source_urls = ['https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet/archive']
the tarball downloaded does not include everything required to build mxnet.

>From the number of scripts floating around online that automate downloading of

> I conclude that github api does not offer the ability we want. What is the 
>preferred EasyBuild way to download source organized in this way?
