Hello! In the EasyBlock discussions, I asked
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks/issues/2024
how, in my own package-specific easyblock, I could get access to the
information put into the 'git_config' dictionary by my .eb file. Sam Moors
(@smoors) pointed me at an example of show how to _fill_ 'git_config' in an
EasyConfig, which is well documented.
I haven't been able to find (given GitHub's limited search capability) an
instance in any existing EasyBlock of how to _access_ 'git_config'. The
only place I even saw it referenced was in the top-level base easyblock.py,
but that's so far up the chain I can't figure out how to get to it.
If this is explicitly something that developer's EasyBlocks should _not_ do,
I think that should be added clearly to the documentation. If it is
something that my g4cmp.py EasyBlock should be able to do, I would love to
understand how.
I'm sending this to the mailing list because Sam closed my discussion issue
and specifically requested that I use the mailing list rather than the
forum.
