Q&A

  • Davide: What would be the best strategy to avoid dependency version conflict resulting from toolchains that share the same GCCcore toolchain (e.g. https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/6985)?

    • Åke: Exempting GCCcore from conflict check might be the best way.
  • Fotis: How do centers configure the software stack (Lmod, etc.) so that is is portable and consistent from a single upstream source? How to test that the module stack and the manager is working correctly (e.g. CI tests)? The Lmod test suite is not enough, for example when jumping to different shell types or with aliases.

  • It would be nice to build an interest group on this topic.
