Hi Kenneth, Cool, congratulations on getting this out. From the discussions on this list (and the meeting minutes) I figured that the Intel 16 RHEL 7.3 issues is (about to be) resolved. I was expecting a mention here in the “EB 3.1 release email”. Can you elaborate? Do I just rebuild my Intel 2016a/b toolchains or do I (an my users) need to recompile all applications build against this? Is there any “official EB statement/instructions”?
Thanks and have a nice weekend - you deserve it (so answer on Monday is fine ;) ) Best wishes Joachim > On 3 Feb 2017, at 15:37, Kenneth Hoste <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear EasyBuilders, > > I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild version 3.1.0 [1]. > I'm not going to say this is the best EasyBuild release ever this time.
