Notes

• Q/A
• Mailing List Q: ml avail slow for Lmod vs Tmod
  • ml -t av might be slower
• Pull Requests are merged in testing branch
  • PR673: adding JsonShell
  • PR670: Fix M.remove_path in src/MC_DependencyCk.lua (Also issue# 675)
• Issue #678: isFile returns true for a broken symlink
  • To fix this required following the symlink to real file
  • Now Lmod uses posix.realpath when available. It wasn't available in earlier version of lua posix. A lua version is used (l_abspath()) if posix.realpath() is not available.
  • Fixed in testing branch
• Issue #679: User wants to be able to control the "default" dynamically
  • I proposed making $LMOD_MODULERCFILE dynamic
  • User wants to use "module_version()"?
• Issue #674: Lmod Warning produces an error status
  • Changed Lmod to NOT generate an error when Lmod generates a warning
• Still not fixed:
  • Issue #669: include modulerc.d/*.lua
  • Issue #667: module extensions are not included in output of ml --terse avail
