Description Ole Holm Nielsen 2018-11-20 10:18:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
The EasyBuild developers would like to use a recent version of Lmod, as discussed in this thread: https://lists.ugent.be/wws/arc/easybuild/2018-09/msg00021.html
Lmod version 7 contains important functionality enhancements and bug fixes as described in https://github.com/TACC/Lmod, and a number of software modules system administration methods depend on newer features in Lmod. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.6.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -q Lmod

Actual results:
Lmod-6.6.3-1.el7.x86_64

Expected results:
The latest Lmod version 7.8 is desired.

Additional info:
The current version 6.6.3 was updated in bug 1633929.
FC29 currently has a recent version Lmod-7.7.35-2.fc29.x86_64.
An update of Lmod in EPEL 7 would make life a lot easier for a large community using Lmod in combination with EasyBuild!
Comment 1 Loris Bennett 2019-01-23 11:16:36 UTC 
I second this request.  In particular, version 6.6.3 does not allow for flexible hiding of modules.  Since, by design, EasyBuild generates modules for all the dependencies of a given piece of software, the complete list of available modules can become quite long.  Thus, for users who just want to run the main installed applications, it is highly desirable to be able to hide such dependencies.  This feature only appeared in Lmod 7.
Comment 2 Adam Huffman 2019-01-25 18:15:54 UTC 
Yes, a lot of sites are currently having to build newer Lmod releases themselves because the EPEL package is so far behind.
Hence an update would be very welcome.
