Dear Åke,

thank you for the hint towards the hooks system. We have not used this much in 
the past, but will have a closer look at it now.

Best,
Felix

Subject: [easybuild] Re: Managing Site-specific Easyconfigs


We use the hooks system to handle almost all of the site changes.
There is some examples in the contrib dir.


We also have our own repo of things (both easyconfigs/blocks and of course the 
hooks). The easyconfigs/blocks there are usually only kept until they appear in 
the next release.

Subject: [easybuild] Managing Site-specific Easyconfigs




Dear colleagues,


since we sometimes have to make site-specific changes to easyconfigs, I would 
like to draw on your collective wisdom regarding how to manage these best. 
Would you advise keeping them in a branch of our clone of the upstream repo or 
in an entirely separate repo, and why?


We only have 3-5 IT staff working with Easybuild. Users typically do not 
install their own software. However, there might be some power users writing 
their own easyconfigs and willing to submit PRs. Thus, having the possibility 
to do the eb --new-pr workflow might come in handy.


Thanks in advance for your suggestions!


Cheers,
Felix
