OpenFOAM-Extend-4.1-20200408-foss-2019b-Python-2.7.16.eb parts toolchain 'broken'

[wrussian]

Hi all, I'm using eb Version 4.7.2 on SuSE SLES15 SP4, with gcc - compilers version 7.5.0 as local RPM based installed compiler. one site question: Sorry if I overlooked it, but is there a style guide / listing the information every ticket should contain?

When running the eb config specified in the subject above the download for the toolchain components $CFGS1/m/Mesquite/Mesquite-2.3.0-GCCcore-8.3.0.eb $CFGS1/p/ParMETIS/ParMETIS-4.0.3-gompi-2019b.eb

CFGS1=/home/yadmin/easybuild/software/EasyBuild/4.7.2/easybuild/easyconfigs

for both components are broken, because the software isn't maintained anymore and the URI are invalid. Last updates of both codes are O(years). I couldn't manage to automate the download of the tar archives (with the correct version) from github. So a manual fix described below helped to complete the build of the toolchain.

I had to compile the stuff on behalf one of our research group which wants to use the openfoam-extend features of version 4.1. Anyway, what is the plan to maintain this toolchain in EB. My impression this is already a dead horse. Many thank in any case. Cheers, -Frank Heckes

Sorry for the strange formatting of the eb config files. This is another try to use provide the content via attached files. mesquite.txt parmetis.txt

Hi Frank, a few things

1. Please open PRs to fix easyconfigs on the easybuild-easyconfigs repo instead of this repo. https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull

2. There is no reason to complicate this by adding your own web server. You can just put sources into easybuilds cache directory directly, like you do with many other commercial software and such which have no automated downloads.

3. This is unfortunately probably to old for us to care about. 8.3.0 is to old to build for many/most of the devs already, and it's going to be deprecated/archived soon.

4. Your are linking the github page. You want to grab the raw link for the page, and it would work a a source url.

5. Please use markdown 3 backticks ` to write code blocks.
