Hi Cormac,

First of all: welcome to the EasyBuild community! :-)

Do note that although EasyBuild supports using Lmod as a modules tool, it will 
still generate Tcl module files (for now).
I hope to find time to fix that soon, so we can unleash the full power of Lmod 
using EasyBuild-generated module files.

I (finally!) got around to updating the wiki page that documents the new 
EasyBuild configuration style.

The pull request for updating the actual wiki page is available at 
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-wiki/pull/13.

A preview of that wiki page is available in my fork of the wiki repo, see 
https://github.com/boegel/easybuild-wiki/wiki/Configuration .

That page should answer all your questions w.r.t. using the new 
configparser-based EasyBuild configuration.

If someone can review the pull request (or the preview, and provide 
comments/remarks in the open PR), then I can merge this in and get the 
documentation updated (long overdue).


regards,

Kenneth
