The idea here is to support installing software using eb by providing module names, rather than specifying easyconfigs, like:

$ eb OpenFOAM/2.3.1-intel-2015a
# corresponds to 'eb OpenFOAM-2.3.1-intel-2015a' when using default module naming scheme

or:

$ eb MPI/GCC/4.9.2/OpenMPI/1.8.4/FFTW/3.3.4
# corresponds to 'eb FFTW-3.3.4-gompi-2015a.eb' when HierarchicalMNS is used a module naming scheme

This would be one way of specifying what to install when 'fat' easyconfigs (e.g. GCC.eb or GCC.yaml) are installed, other ways may be added later (e.g., eb OpenFOAM 2.3.1 intel/2015, or eb <software name> <software version> [<versionsuffix>] <toolchain>)

TODO list:

  • extend API for module naming schemes to support parsing of provided module name
  • implement parsing of module names for EasyBuildMNS
  • implement parsing of module names for HierarchicalMNS
  • implement parsing of module names for other included module naming schemes
  • add support to eb to also accept module names, and go find corresponding easyconfig file
