Re: [easybuild] Generic easyblock for Unpack+Cmd

[Maik Schmidt]

That seems to work fine, thank you! The cmd will then be executed in the builddir though, so I have to specify %(installdir)s in my cmd, but other than that, the solution looks good enough. Thanks again.

you could also use the Tarball easyblock + postinstallcmds . e.g.

    Hi all,

    short question: which easyblock is best used for the case:

    - unpack to installdir first

    - run a command afterwards

    ?

    I have tried the following:

    easyblock = "PackedBinary"

    install_cmd = "..."

    However, as soon as "install_cmd" is defined, the files are not
    copied
    to the installdir automatically anymore.

    Of course, I could add a "cp" to my install_cmd or use the CmdCp
    easyblock, but that feels a little clumsy.

    Maybe a paramter could be added to PackedBinary to simple execute a
    command after the unpacking? That would be helpful in a few cases, I
    believe.

    Thanks,

    Maik
