I think that EB dependencies showing up in .../modules/all are confusing
to end users. We should avoid exposing dependency modules such as
Bison, GCCcore, M4, zlib, etc.etc. to end users.
Lmod and Tmod apparently allow you to hide modules in a modulerc file.
For Lmod 7.0 the syntax is "hide-module foo/3.2.1".
However, I can't get this to work. If I create a file
.../modules/all/.modulerc with the line "hide-module zlib/1.2.8", the
zlib still shows up with "module avail". I haven't been able to find
any documentation of the function of MODULERCFILE or .modulerc in Lmod
or Tmod. We're using Lmod 6.5.1 on CentOS 7.2.
Question: Has anyone succeeded in hiding modules with Lmod in this way?
Thanks,
Ole
