EasyBuild: building software with ease
--------------------------------------

The easybuild-framework package is the basis for EasyBuild
(http://hpcugent.github.com/easybuild), a software build and
installation framework written in Python that allows you to install
software in a structured, repeatable and robust way.

This package contains the EasyBuild framework that supports the
implementation and use of so-called easyblocks, that implement the
software install procedure for a particular (group of) software
package(s).

The code of the easybuild-framework package is hosted on GitHub, along
with an issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests, see
http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework.

The EasyBuild documentation is available on the GitHub wiki of the
easybuild meta-package, see
http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/Home.
