Present new features of EasyUpdate
How to support site-specific configurations for R and Python easyconfigs using 
bundles. And present the new features of EasyUpdate that help facilitate the 
bundle approach.

The bundle approach uses the EasyBuild default R and Python easyconfigs as a 
dependency for customized versions. This method of building custom 
site-packages encourages reuse of existing easyconfigs and helps reduce 
duplication of effort. I think sites should adapt this method of using R and 
Python. It encourages wider use of the EasyBuild EasyConfigs and makes local 
customization easier to support. A new feature of EasyConifg allows complex 
dependency resolution by inspection of the dependency list.

EasyUpdate code has been refactored. Functions that I would expect the 
Easybuild framework to handle have been moved to separate Python Class. If I 
could get some help to map the EasyUpdate framework calls to the EasyBuild 
framework the integration would be quick. Have you considered adding any time 
for a hackathon?  Having access to the core developers would be a huge help.

Hope all is well,
