Re: [easybuild] libxc-5.2.3-GCC-11.3.0.eb: Download incomplete

Hi,

 The issue with the Libxc downloads should now be fixed. Unfortunately 
it took some time to track down a weird issue with the web server. Sorry 
for the inconvenience.


 Cheers,

Micael

Hi Loris,

It would be great if you could make a PR against libxc!  I'm not that
experienced with Git usage ;-)

Thanks,

Yes, I think it probably should, since, as far as I can tell, this is
probably the canonical version.  Have you already got a patched EC you
could use for a pull request, or shall I created one?

Re: [easybuild] libxc-5.2.3-GCC-11.3.0.eb: Download incomplete

[James KW Moore]

Hi all,

When I have these sorts of issues with downloads I will usually end up
using *wget* to manually download via the original URL (resuming multiple
fails if needed) then move the file into the eb-srcs directory (in the
right subdirectory). This will mean you don't need to potentially edit
numerous Easyconfigs' checksum values. In this particular case, if the
original site has long term reliability issues I would advocate that the
Easyconfigs are re-pointed at the Gitlab endpoint instead.

Using wget in this case seemed to work (eventually) though:

I also eventually downloaded
https://www.tddft.org/programs/libxc/down/5.2.3/libxc-5.2.3.tar.gz
successfully too.

Fingers  crossed these are correct:

James.
