Dear EasyBuilders,
This is a friendly reminder for the 2020a merge sprint that is taking
place today 9am-1pm (but we've sort of already started) and next
Thursday (same time).
A particularly easy way to obtain an EasyBuild installation that you can
use to test foss/2020a and intel/2020a is by using the easyconfig file
in attachment (also available via
https://users.ugent.be/~kehoste/EasyBuild-2020a.eb).
As the sprint progresses you'll need to reinstall this easyconfig file a
couple of times, using the following command:
eb EasyBuild-2020a.eb --force --force-download --ignore-checksums
If you plan to join the sprint, please join the #merge-sprint channel on
the EasyBuild Slack!
regards,
Kenneth

Dear EasyBuilders,
Starting to use a brand new toolchain is always a challenge, since the
limited number of easyconfigs initially means you need to develop a
lot yourself. Therefore, we are organizing a sprint that synchronizes
this effort amongst the community, so that together we can kickstart
the development of GCCcore-9.3, foss-2020a, intel-2020a based
easyconfigs! Hopefully, this will result in a large number of
easyconfigsbeing available quickly after the release of the 2020a
toolchains.
This announcement is a bit short-term, but: the sprint will take place
next Tuesday (March 17th 2020) and Thursday (March 19th), between 9am
and 1pm CET.
Instructions on how to participate can be found at
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild/wiki/EasyBuild-Sprint-2020a-toolchains
You may already take some steps to prepare a development installation
of EasyBuild, these are also included in this page. And as always:
don't worry about asking for help. There will be plenty of maintainers
around during the sprint who are happy to help you contribute!
If you want to participate, please
- join the #merge-sprint channel on the EasyBuild Slack (request
invitation for Slack via https://easybuild-slack.herokuapp.com/)
- send a reply to this e-mail "I'm in!" (so we have some idea of who /
how many to expect)
With regards,
Caspar van Leeuwen (EasyBuild co-maintainer)
