1st easybuild hackathon meeting minutes day 2 - easybuilders/easybuild GitHub Wiki

(Friday Aug. 17th 2012, 10am-6.30pm)

During the second day of the 1st EasyBuild hackathon, we finally got to implemented some of the things discussed, and worked together to finish work that was started (open pull requests, ...). These notes were taken by Kenneth Hoste.

Action points

• agree on encoding scheme for class names (see issue #86)
• prefix with eb_ (is this PEP008 compliant? should it be EB_?)
• solves issues with software names starting with numbers, keep origin capitilization after prefix
• encode characters that can't be parted of class name + underscores
• - -> _minus_
• # -> _hash_
• + -> _plus_
• _ -> _underscore_
