this is very close to the logic of the install-EasyBuild-develop.sh script: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/blob/master/easybuild/scripts/install-EasyBuild-develop.sh In the past -when I was using that script- I would do the automated git repo downloads, git checkout at any particular tag/commitID and the modulefile was already provided in place: EasyBuild-develop OK, not really develop at that point, but who cares: it is reproducible. Alternatively, you could clone it to a fixed repo of github_username and the script has some logic to handle it, so, no needs for hacks! I bet you’d need to experiment just a little bit with it - good luck ;-) Once in place, you could use it to jumpstart any other particular version supported by that EB tag/commitID. enjoy, F. -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # signal detected in a CERN forum
