Sounds great! I note that Fedora FC28 has a very recent version:
Lmod-7.7.35-1.fc28.x86_64
I looked at the page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_a_Fedora_package_in_EPEL and
found the Lmod package page https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/Lmod.
Then I wrote to the maintainer Orion Poplawski if he would be willing to
make his Lmod package available also in EPEL[1].
The EPEL maintainer Orion Poplawski has been very kind and responded
quickly to my request. There is now an EPEL build of Lmod 6.6.3 in
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1148094
and an RPM package for testing at
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/Lmod/6.6.3/1.el7/x86_64/Lmod-6.6.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Would some EasyBuild sites running CentOS 7 systems kindly test this
Lmod RPM and report any successes or failures back to me (or directly to
the developer, only I don't know the appropriate feedback channel).
Thanks, Ole
