Damian and Alex, I am still on a pre-production stage and I am trying to find the best way to implement it in production such that the users experience will be the best possible. So I was just wandering what other groups do in order to avoid reinventing the wheel. Your idea of not exposing the toolchain to users is already a good feedback. Do you add the family attribute manually after EB installed the default module for a specific package? For this purpose it would be nice to have a function in EB that would allow from the easyconfig file (or even better in a easyconfig patch files) to add additional lines to the generated module for a more easy to manage localization.
PS: You are right, I will not be able to join you guys at the user meeting. I will surely watch any recordings or slides you will make available.

Anyway, what are the issues you are seeing? I think that using a toolchain based module naming scheme this would work similarly to the hierarchical scheme (ie: it will prevent you from loading a compiler on top of another one) Damian From: <[email protected]> on behalf of Alan O'Cais <[email protected]> Reply-To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Monday 6 February 2017 at 18:22 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [easybuild] Lmod integration - Families We use families for compilers and MPI implementations in a hierarchical scheme. We do not expose the toolchains to normal users. Damian will probably cover this a little in his presentation on Wednesday.

This gets a little complicated when dealing with the toolchain-based model of EB. I was wondering if anybody is using families and how.
