Thanks for the information.  I appreciate the security concerns,
although it seems to me that an EasyBuild version could be the best
solution.  That way I can build a new version as soon as it comes out
and deploy it immediately, without having to wait for the package to
appear in a given repository.

The downside is that I have to make sure I am aware that a new version
has appeared and have to disable the old version when I install a new
one.  For the former I would just subscribe to the Singularity mailing
list. What would be the best approach for the latter?  Would it be an
idea to have a constant, dummy version so that the existing version
would simply be replaced by the new version?

Cheers,

Loris
