EasyBuild

Version 7.78.0 in CPE 21.06

  • The EasyConfig file is a mix of the EasyBuilders one and the one in use at the University of Antwerpen.

  • There was a new configure option for 7.78.0: a range of options to select the right TLS backend, so this has been added to the EasyConfig file.

  • Added additional sanity check commands to the file.
