Notes

2015b common toolchains: GCC 5.1 or 5.2?
  • delay 2015b until GCC 5.2 is there (bugfix release over GCC 5.1)
  • implies that 2015b toolchain definitions won't be included in EasyBuild v2.2.0
  • can be included in EasyBuild v2.2.1 (mid August'15)
making --robot aware of subtoolchains
  • see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1306
  • required enhancements to toolchain definitions are already tackled
  • Alan will play around with this further, and report back
  • TODO: unit tests, some minor code cleanup (e.g. break into parts a bit more)
  • scheduled for EasyBuild v2.3.0 (Sept'15)
outlook to EasyBuild v2.2.0
