Agenda for Feb. 6th, 2024 at 9:30 US Central (15:30 UTC)

• Q/A

Attendees

• Matthew Cawood (TACC)
• Robert McLay (TACC)
• Lev Gorenstein (Globus, UChicago)

Notes

• Issue #679: Dynamic $LMOD_MODULERC. There was a question about conflicts.
  • Namely that would apply to future load. Something that does not happen now.
  • I propose having a variable named say LMOD_PERMINANT_CONFLICT
  • This would make conflict apply downstream.
• Issue #680: Honor MODULES_AUTO_HANDLING
  • Setting this variable would make prereq() -> depends_on()
  • What about prereq_any() -> depends_on_any() ?
• Issue #684: spider json fails to mark modules as hidden
  • Still working on that one
• Issue #685:Is there an internal limit on the length of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for lmod/lua?
  • Could not reproduce. Think that it is a bug in older Mac OS
• Issue #686: module.1 man page is not in the man format:
  • Not happening soon. Rather remove module.1 than fix it.
  • Not maintaining lmod.readthedocs.io and module.1
  • Would have to be dynamic with something like module --man
• Issue #667: Sent to Kenneth for testing.
• Can wiki notes be reversed?
