Update on Singularity support

  • Install default OS packages for new recipes

  • Install OS packages specified in osdeps for the selected easyconfig files

  • Single container configuration option with --container-config

  • Easybuild configuration through environment variables

  • Pass additional options to eb in recipe

  • Fotis: Maybe consider additional option to install other OS packages in addition to the default ones.

Update on progress towards EasyBuild 4.0

  • Fotis: Any news on the support for YAML easyconfig files?
    • Since YAML is a broader standard, input for EB could be dumped directly from other tools written in different languages.
