Hi Kenneth, Now it works here as well. When I tried yesterday, it didn’t but I only had time to look into this today. Unless the issue comes back I am inclined to agree: temporal hick-up at SF.

The config specifies source_urls = [SOURCEFORGE_SOURCE] sources = [‘%%(namelower)s_%s.tar.gz’ % ‘_’.join(version.split(‘.’))] which implies, if the change is general to all sourceforge projects, the SOURCEFORGE_SOURCE needs a general fix. Not sure this was reported before. Any comments? Should I put an issue report? Against easyconfigs or easyblocks?
