Hi all, We didn't have any issues updating to 4.7.0 when using the old easybuild for bootstrapping on Centos7. We did so with by making sure the shell environment was clean (bar the modules system) and then working with:
#!/usr/bin/env bash > module use /opt/apps/testapps/common/modules/all > module load Easybuild > export EASYBUILD_INSTALLPATH_MODULES=/opt/apps/testapps/common/modules > export EASYBUILD_INSTALLPATH_SOFTWARE=/opt/apps/testapps/common/easybuild/ > export EASYBUILD_MODULE_SYNTAX=Lua > export EASYBUILD_MODULES_TOOL=Lmod > eb --install-latest-eb-release > We also went from 4.6.2 so I wonder if you have any amendments in your Easybuild module files to set the configuration which might be causing trouble? We try to avoid that pollution by using Easybuild config files with: alias eb='echo NO EB!' # You aren't normally allowed to call it without > some config! > alias eb-bootstrap='"eb" --configfiles > /opt/apps/testapps/common/module-system/easybuild-config-module-system-bootstrap-only.cfg > ' > alias eb-staging='"eb" --configfiles > /opt/apps/testapps/el7/easybuild-configs/staging/easybuild-config-native.cfg > ' > alias eb-live='"eb" --configfiles > /opt/apps/testapps/el7/easybuild-configs/live/easybuild-config-native.cfg ' The bootstrap alias effectively does what the script above does.
