The Lmod EPEL package maintainer Orion Poplawski has advised me to file
a bug in the RedHat bugzilla requesting a version upgrade of the Lmod
RPM, and you can all view it here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1633929
If your testing of the Lmod 6.6.3 RPM is successful, or if it gives
problems for you, or if you have any comments, please add information to
the bugzilla page. If you don't have a login there, I can take your
comments and add them.
When the testing of Lmod has been successful, the updated 6.6.3 RPM
package should appear in the official EPEL repository.

versions older than Lmod 6.6.3, but this apparently wasn't one of
them...).
Sounds great! I note that Fedora FC28 has a very recent version:
Lmod-7.7.35-1.fc28.x86_64
I looked at the page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_a_Fedora_package_in_EPEL and
found the Lmod package page https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/Lmod.
Then I wrote to the maintainer Orion Poplawski if he would be willing
to make his Lmod package available also in EPEL[1].
The EPEL maintainer Orion Poplawski has been very kind and responded
quickly to my request. There is now an EPEL build of Lmod 6.6.3 in
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1148094
and an RPM package for testing at
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/Lmod/6.6.3/1.el7/x86_64/Lmod-6.6.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Would some EasyBuild sites running CentOS 7 systems kindly test this
Lmod RPM and report any successes or failures back to me (or directly to
the developer, only I don't know the appropriate feedback channel).
