Hi Thomas, I do not think there is such a feature available in any module management system, but people that have more experience with flat module naming schemes may give you better insights than me.
We went with a hierarchical module naming scheme for the exact reason of avoiding that type of issues. -- Davide Vanzo, PhD Application Developer Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education (ACCRE) Vanderbilt University - Hill Center 201 (615)-875-9137 www.vanderbilt.edu/accre On 2018-12-12 08:56:04-06:00 [email protected] wrote: Hi We have installed a lot of modules with the foss-2016b toolchain on our HPC cluster. And there are a several modules installed with the foss-2018b toolchain. But some endusers have problems to load some modules if a module is installed with the foss-2016b and foss-2018b toolchain. use-case: an user has loaded the module BCFtools-1.8/foss-2016b. but then he wants to load the Python module which is installed with the foss-2016b and foss-2018b toolchain. If he executes' module load Python', then it automatically loads the module with the foss-2018b toolchain. Is there a way to provide it automatically loads the module with foss-2016b if there are already modules loaded with the foss-2016b toolchain? Thomas Eylenbosch Ext: Gluo N.V.
