Alternatively, for people that regularly contribute back, you could clone the
repo[s] somewhere in your home, write a module for it, and use it to install
your system wide EB. We use that every time we deploy a new stack. It is close
to trivial. This is the TCL module we have for it (and yes, it has tabs, I
think it is the only module we wrote that has them):
#%Module

}

This is indeed the only way for now, the bootstrap script doesn't
support specifying a particular version to install.
If there's enough demand for it, we could, but since you can just
temporarily use the latest EasyBuild version to install an older version
as Åke suggested, I don't see much value in it to be honest...
Without the bootstrap script, you could also just use 'easy_install' or
'pip install', both of which support specifying specific versions, but
you wouldn't get an EasyBuild module to load then of course.

Kenneth
