Hi Markus,

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?
That's probably only a partial solution, since you have no guarantee
that the archived easyconfig will be picked up the next time the same
installation is needed (the path to the archived easyconfigs is not in
the robot path, by default).
I *think* that making the robot consider also hidden modules is as
simple as updating the 'find_resolved_modules' function to optionally
check also whether the module is available as hidden (which involves
tweaking the dep_mod_name to inject a '.', or something like that).
You may need to make a similar change to make dry-run spit out the
correct info though, which probably means some refactoring to ensure
that both the robot and dry-run use the same function to check whether a
module is available or not...

Kenneth

Davide,
The most logical way of doing so seems to be by creating hidden
modules for the dependencies we don't want the users to see. However,
when installing other easyconfig packages from the default easyconfig
files they cannot see the hidden modules and try to install them again.
Is there a way to tell EB to automatically look for hidden packages
without modifying the easyconfig files?
At this point not, unfortunately. A corresponding issue has
been created already quite some time ago [1], but since then
hasn't received much attention. Since I'm very interested in
this feature as well and would like to see it implemented
rather sooner than later, I recently started looking into it.
But I'm still far from a clean and working solution -- though
Kenneth claims that it shouldn't be too hard... But that's
what he is saying all the time ;-)
