(but 1.2.0 makes sense) Since the version strings could contain literals, adding 1.2.0RM or 1.2.0FG would never collide! So I think it would be good practice to let the release manager (Kenneth) sit on the numbers-only releases, while each one of us who wants to make custom versions to add his initials or something like that. Then, we all know when we share custom toolchains... btw. the default toolchain on ubuntu you actually use when you do "dummy-dummy" (eg. this in fact happens when you bootstrap GCC, other compilers etc). But then, as Stijn said, you would defeat 1 main feature of easybuild which is to isolate your HPC software stack from the underlying OS peculiarities (we admit: this is not 100% isolation) fyi. you can still experiment with such concepts thanks to params: --*toolchain* & friends. cheers, Fotis
