Support for Lmod "properties" #981

Open kcgthb opened 9 years ago

kcgthb commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering if EasyBuild implemented support for Lmod properties, such as described in slide 6 of https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/documents/13601/646336/SC12Presentation-McLay.pdf

Thanks.

Not as of now, but once Lua module files can be generated by EB, it would be very nice to have that as well. It's on the plan/roadmap in the "near" future :) :+1:

kcgthb commented 9 years ago

All right. Can't wait. :)

@pforai: actually, you can include property definitions in Tcl module files too, but then you can't consume them with the Tcl-based module tools anymore...

looking forward for this feature

boegel commented 8 years ago

@pescobar: there's a WIP PR for this: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1257

It never got finished because it wasn't clear how to configure EasyBuild to use which properties when.

Hopefully we can revisit this during the hands-on sessions at the EasyBuild user meeting in Ghent, since @rtmclay will be joining us there.

Have there been any updates on implementing lmod properties support? We would find this feature really useful.

boegel commented 4 years ago

@kayleanelson I'm not aware of any progress on this, but it would certainly be interesting to have it supported...
