Development repository (dev.eessi.io)

Is dev.eessi.io a webpage?

If you landed on this page because you typed dev.eessi.io into your browser, then you may not know yet that this is not a URL/webpage but a CernVM-FS repository that EESSI uses to distribute software.

See the EESSI overview page for a general introduction to EESSI.

What is dev.eessi.io?

dev.eessi.io is the development repository of EESSI. With it, developers in the MultiXscale CoE can deploy pre-release builds of their software to EESSI. This way, development versions of software can easily be tested on systems where the dev.eessi.io CernVM-FS repository is available, or even added to CI workflows with little effort.

Unlike in the software.eessi.io production repository, software installations in dev.eessi.io are placed in an additional project subdirectory. On a system with dev.eessi.io mounted, and assuming one intends to use a project named example access is possible with

module use /cvmfs/dev.eessi.io/example/versions/$EESSI_VERSION/software/linux/$EESSI_SOFTWARE_SUBDIR/modules/all

. Then, all that is left is to try out the development software!

For more information on adding software to dev.eessi.io, please consult the relevant documentation page.
