Abstract:

Easyconfig files at Fred Hutch (https://github.com/FredHutch/easybuild-life-sciences).

easy_update (https://github.com/fizwit/easy_update) has been enhanced to follow complex dependencies of bundles.
The size of R continues to creep in size. Many of the additional module requests could be minimized if sites extended the base easyconfig. Does every site need libraries for Marine Science?
