Dear Alan, thanks for the feedback!

Ah, yes, an obvious solution that I somehow didn't think about, because there already is an EasyBuild module created by the bootstrap script and I didn't want to modify that in case it would be modified in upgrades. But its a good idea, maybe a protected admin module. > There's a later intel-2016b.eb already available which has a 2016 update and > an > intel-2016.02 in the devel branch that has the very latest intel compilers. True, but we need to offer multiple versions at the same time, currently starting at XE 2012. Of the seperate point releases (2013, 2015, etc.), we'd like to offer the latest minor version, e.g. 2015 upd 6. > issue is that you will not find so many easyconfigs for these toolchains yet > since they are relatively new.

Regarding applications its okay if we build them with the latest and greatest Intel toolchain. Thanks for the hint with try-toolchain, this seems very helpful!
