All, It seems that with [2] in place, the dependency resolution already does "the right thing" as it parses the easyconfig files. But that obviously only works if the easyconfig contains the 'hidden' parameter. That said, maybe it is sufficient to ensure writing the 'hidden' info (wherever it comes from: 'hidden' flag, 'hide-deps', '--hidden' command-line option, ...) to the archived easyconfig? Or am I missing something?
