Hi all,

when I started using EasyBuild, I didn't know about the option to hide
modules.  Slowly, the list of installed modules becomes too long for
`module avail` to be useful for the user.  So I would like to hide
modules.  The question is, how should I do this?

1. Re-generate all modules (can I use EasyBuild to regenerate modules,
   hiding them if I want to, without recompiling the code?)

2. Manually hide modules (probably a bad idea)

3. ???

It would be nice to have a best-practices document somewhere, but I
couldn't find any. [*]

Also, from what I understand, using minimal toolchains is generally a
good idea to keep the number of modules low -- correct?

I'd appreciate any guidance on how I can clean up my installation.

Cheers,
  Andreas.

PS: I'm using lmod

[*] I'd be happy to write a blog post from a non-expert's perspective
(I'm no sysadmin, and our cluster is rather smallish, almost no
technical staff to maintain the software).
