Hi EasyBuilders, I'm new to EasyBuild and have a few questions. Let me say that maybe I'm just a bit confused here, so I apologize if these questions sound a bit daft. ;)
Regarding installation: is it possible to put a default configuration file in the installation tree of EasyBuild? We are several users that deploy software, and the systems used to build vary as well. I'd prefer not to configure these nodes differently for that or have different settings based on user accounts. I'm now setting INSTALLPATH_SOFTWARE, INSTALLPATH_MODULES, SOURCEPATH, etc. in a profile.d script, which I then need to deploy everywhere. I think this is needlessly complicated, if all I would need is for easybuild to parse a config file in its install path? I tried to install intel-2015b.eb today, and found that it uses e.g. ccomp 2015.3.187, while intel already provides 2015.6.233. Now, should I copy the existing easyconfig from folder A to folder B, edit it, then run the install? For that, do I really need to search the lib/python-xy/site-packages/xyz-xyz-py2.7-egg/easybuild/easyconfigs/letter/name/version path, or is there some more comfortable way? It seems a bit cumbersome. Then, is the robot path what I'm looking for for folder B? I'm a bit confused by the name robot path, if its actually the easyconfig path? Or do you guys work on a git clone of the easyconfig repo as robot path? I guess this would make pull requests for changes a lot easier.
