Description Orion Poplawski 2016-01-07 03:01:31 UTC
Description of problem:

There are currently two largely compatible implementations of the environment-module system: "environment-modules" and "Lmod", both of which provide "environment(modules)".  scl-utils should require "environment(modules)" in order to allow the installer to choose which one they want to use.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2016-01-07 03:05:56 UTC
Also, I think scl modules files should be installed into /usr/share/modulefiles/scl, thereby being available automatically.  As it stands now, someone has to manually add /etc/scl/modulesfiles to MODULEPATH.  And system installed modulefiles really belong in /usr/share/modulefiles, not /etc.

Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 15:38:33 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Panu Matilainen 2017-03-20 12:51:17 UTC
I've no idea whether Lmod is actually compatible with scl-utils but whatever the provides say... 
Dependency changed to environment(modules) now in rawhide. 

The module directory is unrelated, please report separately.

Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2017-03-20 15:23:59 UTC
Thanks.  Filed #1434033 for the install path issue.

Could you please revert this? Lmod does not provide /usr/bin/modulecmd, hence the basic scl command fails:

~~~
$ scl enable rh-ruby24 bash
Program /usr/bin/modulecmd returned nonzero return code!
Problem with executing program /usr/bin/modulecmd: Bad file descriptor
~~~

Or actually there should be "Requres: %{_bindir}/modulecmd", since this is what scl command is using:

Comment 9 Orion Poplawski 2017-05-25 21:52:15 UTC
Well, "modulecmd" is not the proper interface into modules - "module" is.  Although that is probably complicated by it being implemented as a function (bash) or alias (csh).

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 19:44:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 11 Panu Matilainen 2017-08-25 10:25:18 UTC
Reverted, or rather, made to depend on modulecmd to point the actual dependency out, in scl-utils-2.0.2-2.fc28. Needs pulling to at least f27 too (and will do in near future)
