bugfix release
- fix support for installing easybuild-easyblocks with distutils (broken import in setup.py)
- only build GMP/CLooG/PPL libraries during GCC build in parallel, don't install in parallel
- 'make -j N install' doesn't work consistently for GMP
- fix GCC build on OS X
- location of libraries is slightly different (lib vs lib64 dir)
- add support to ConfigureMake easyblock for pre-passing tar options to configure
- see tar_config_opts easyconfig parameter
- workaround for issue with pax hanging configure with an interactive prompt
- enhance Q&A for WRF and WIEN2k by adding entries to qa dict and no_qa list
- use rmtree2 from tools/filetools.py as more (NFS) robust replacement for shutil.rmtree
v1.0 (November 13th 2012)
-------------------------
- split up EasyBuild across three repositories: framework, easyblocks and easyconfigs
- packaged EasyBuild, different parts can now be installed easily using easy_install
- implement class name encoding scheme, see wiki http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/Encode-class-names
- (non-generic) easyblock class names are now prefixed with EB and non-alphanumeric characters are escaped
- split off generic easyblocks into separate package easyblocks.generic
- added custom support for 39 software packages:
Armadillo, BiSearch, Boost, Bowtie2, BWA, bzip2, CGAL, CPLEX, DOLFIN, Eigen, flex, FSL, Hypre, libxml2, MetaVelvet,
METIS, MTL4, MUMmer, ncurses, OpenFOAM, OpenSSL, ParMETIS, Pasha, PETSc, Primer3, python-meep, SAMtools, SCOTCH,
SHRiMP, SLEPc, SOAPdenovo, SuiteSparse, SWIG, Tornado, Trilinos, UFC, Velvet, WIEN2k, XCrySDen
- various enhancements and bug fixes to existing easyblocks
v0.8 (June 29th 2012)
---------------------
- added support for building/installing 17 additional software packages:
- BEAGLE, Doxygen, g2clib, g2lib, HDF, HDF5, JasPer, libpng, Maple,
MrBayes, NCL, netCDF, netCDF-Fortran, Szip, WPS, WRF, zlib
- the build procedure for WRF and WPS includes running the tests available for these packages
- various bug fixes and enhancements:
- made support for interactive installers (run_cmd_qa) more robust
- fixed Python git package check
- implemented toolkit functions for determine compiler family, MPI type, MPI run command, ...
v0.7 (June 18th 2012)
---------------------
- fixed BLACS build
- diagnostic tools to determine INTERFACE and TRANSCOMM values are now used
- added support for building Bison, CP2K, flex
- with regression test enabled for CP2K as part of build process
- note: BLACS built with EasyBuild prior to v0.7 needs to be rebuilt for CP2K to work correctly
- added --enable-mpi-threads to OpenMPI example easyconfigs
- required for correct CP2K psmp build
- adjusted libsmm example easyconfig for lower build time
- to make the full regression test finish in a reasonable amount of time
- added script to make porting of easyblocks from old to new EasyBuild codebase easier
- takes care of refactoring, checks for PyLint warnings/errors, ...
- fixed several small bugs
- prefixed EasyBuild messages with "=="
- full regression test passed (58 easyconfigs tested)
v0.6 (May 11th 2012)
---------------------
- added support for Intel compiler toolkit (ictce)
- which included the Intel compilers, Intel Math Kernel Library (imkl) and Intel MPI library (impi)
- added support for building Python with nose/numpy/scipy packages
- added simple regression test
- this version is able to build all supplied example easyconfigs
v0.5 (April 6th 2012)
----------------------
- first public release of EasyBuild
- after a thorough cleanup of the EasyBuild framework of the in-house version
- supports building HPL with goalf compiler toolkit
- the goalf toolkit consists of the GCC compilers, and the OpenMPI, ATLAS, LAPACK, FFTW and ScaLAPACK libraries
- also support build and installation of MVAPICH2
