Instead of having it per bundle component/extensions, we should allow the checksum block to be placed outside. We should also encourage that use pattern. It would likely simplify a lot...

Feature request/proposal: maintainers/authors optional infos in easybuild files

1

I saw several eb's where the first line comment was who created it. E.g. * https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/da36e3ba4e5d1db770272b59e5e3e2f5159e4b0f/easybuild/easyconfigs/o/OMA/OMA-2.1.1.eb#L4 * https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/da36e3ba4e5d1db770272b59e5e3e2f5159e4b0f/easybuild/easyconfigs/b/BEDTools/BEDTools-2.30.0-GCC-11.2.0.eb#L4 I think that could also be helpful with directing issues to the...

(build)dependencies only get loaded after extracting sources

12

This is a problem when unpacking `.iso` files using `7z` (`p7zip`), which is generally not available. Including `p7zip` as a build dependency doesn't help, as the module only gets loaded...

make `--job` a bit smarter when uploading test reports

2

Currently, `-r --job --from-pr` will generate one test report per submitted job, and post that as a comment on the PR. Particularly when building something depending on a new toolchain,...

Create an option for a developer mode

3

It would be nice to support a developer mode, which would allow developers to use EasyBuild as part of their own build processes. One way to do this would be...
