Dear Ole,
We build our own Lmod RPMs so we can stay on top of recent developments.
You can find our .spec file in https://github.com/hpcugent/Lmod-UGent.
If you go back in history a bit, you should be able to find a .spec file
for Lmod 6.x.
Of course, you'll need to customize this w.r.t. Lmod configuration & such.
I should also mention that the Lmod 6.6.3 requirement may be a bit more
than is strictly required...
In theory a slightly older Lmod 6.x should be fine too, but I kept
running into problems left & right when testing on top of older Lmod 6.x
versions, so I figured going with the latest 6.x was a reasonable
compromise (I didn't want to force people to switch to Lmod 7).
If that's a big problem, I can try and reconsider that version
requirement to loosen it up a bit (as long as all the tests pass, that
it), and issue a quick EasyBuild 3.7.1.
On the other hand, this is good motivation to update your Lmod
installation, there have been *a lot* of improvements to Lmod since
version 6.5.1 (which was released Aug 2016...).
regards,
Kenneth

Note that the minimal version requirement for Lmod has been bumped to

We use CentOS 7 and the 2 years old Lmod RPM package provided by the
EPEL repository: Lmod-6.5.1-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
Can anyone suggest the best way to get or build an RPM package of a
recent version of Lmod [1] that works well on CentOS 7?
Thanks,
Ole
