Easyblock for Julia packages:

  • Installs packages from local sources
  • Sources can either be a tarball or a git repo (git_config)
  • Avoids any extra downloads (offline mode)
  • Updates JULIA_DEPOT_PATH to make Julia aware of the installation
  • defines EXTS_FILTER_JULIA_PACKAGES to sanity check the installation
  • Works for regular easyconfigs and also for extensions
  • extra option bundle_deps enables Julia to download extra dependencies on-the-fly (opt-in needed to use this easyblock with Julia < 1.5)

Julia needs a git repo to install any package in a regular way because it generates unique hashes for the package from it. Hence, this easyblock detects what kind of sources we have and acts accordingly:

  • git repo: install as regular package with Pkg.add
  • non-git tarball: install in development mode with Pkg.develop
