The issue with git submodules has come up before (https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01469.html), an automated method method to do this that respects reproducability is still lacking.
If the submodules themselves do have releases then you could do a custom easyblock that takes a set of tarred sources, unpacks them and then moves them into the correct place.

Hm ... not sure if packaging every submodule as a eb project and loadable module would work ... since make itself fails if it can't find files in appropriate subdirs. Right now I'm downloading the whole thing manually and stuffing the tarball into eb sources directory where it picks it up and doesn't try to go online and download it. But I would like to automate this on the long term ... Next question. Mxnet comes with a subfolder "R-package" which has sources to build R module. Is there a way to make this available as a separate module from the same eb file? Right now I'm thinking of rolling a tarball with just that folder as a source for additional eb file built around Rpackage easyblock.
