Funnily enough, there's a PR for Lmod that suits exactly your use case: https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/pull/248

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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
