Thanks, Kenneth, I'm trying to go for your option 1), see my other mail about the problems I'm having there.
It would be helpful if the documentation on readthedocs contained a small section "Updating an existing easybuild installation", just giving the options you mention. Would you consider a PR I could prepare to include this in the documentation? Cheers, Andreas.
