Experimental featuresΒΆ
First introduced in EasyBuild v2.1.0 (see EasyBuild v2.1.0 Release Notes),
experimental features can only be used by enabling the --experimental
configuration option.
An experimental feature indicates to users that these features may change significantly in a future release and should be used only for testing, not (yet) for production usage.
- Currently enabled experimental features include:
- Cray support (see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/EasyBuild-on-Cray)
- support for easyconfig files in YAML syntax (see Writing easyconfig files in YAML syntax (.yeb format) [IN DEVELOPMENT])
- support for using minimal toolchains for dependencies (see Using minimal toolchains for dependencies)
