Dear Gizo,
Since SHA256 checksums are used in EasyBuild-3.4.0.eb, you need to use
EasyBuild v3.3.0 or more recent to install it (only recent versions
auto-detect SHA256 vs MD5 checksums).
So, if you're still using an older EasyBuild version, install EasyBuild
v3.3.0 first to install EasyBuild v3.4.0.
Another alternative is just to re-bootstrap, which should give you
EasyBuild v3.4.0 directly.
regards,
Kenneth

An update does not work for me. The config file EasyBuild-3.4.0.eb seems to
have wrong checksums of all source packages. While configs of older versions
don't use the checksum option at all.
Best,
Gizo

Dear EasyBuilders,
I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild version 3.4.0 [1].
You guessed it: this is the best EasyBuild release ever!
Highlights include:
* support for backing up existing modules via --backup-modules
before they are regenerated [2]
* this is enabled automatically with --skip and --module-only
* support for adding or replacing checksums in easyconfig files via
--inject-checksums [3]
* (experimental) support for "eb --trace" to trace the progress of
installations in more detail [4]
* feedback on the generated output is welcome!
* updates to the easyblocks for GAMESS-US, MRtrix, ROOT, Siesta +
various bug fixes
* support for 31 new software packages, incl. CLISP, OpenNLP,
PHAST, PYTHIA & UNAFold
* updated easyconfigs for Boost 1.65.0, binutils 2.29, GCC(core)
7.2.0, GAMESS-US 20170420-R1, Perl 5.26.0, ROOT 6.10.04, etc.
This brings the total number of supported software packages to 1,293 [5]!
A detailed overview of all changes is available in the release notes [6].
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release in one way or another!
To upgrade to EasyBuild v3.4.0, there are several options, see [7].
Two particularly easy options include:
* eb --install-latest-eb-release # requires EasyBuild v3.3.0 or
more recent
* eb --from-pr 5107 # use easyconfig from PR #5107 [8]
(EasyBuild v3.3.0 is required for --install-latest-eb-release because
support for SHA256 checksums is required)
Enjoy!
