Summary: Review Request: modules - Provides dynamic modification of a user's environment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178951 ------- Additional Comments From orion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-02-02 11:53 EST ------- (In reply to comment #2) > Hi Orion, I really don't know what to say in regards to the default > initialization of modules.

I'm going with initialization by default. Seems to go with the extras idea - if you install the software you want to use it. > nits: > - Why the "--disable-versioning" flag? IMHO, its a pretty > cool and useful feature. configuring for Modules 3.2.0 2006-01-17 configure: error: You can not have versioning if --exec-prefix is specified must disable with --disable-versioning What is versioning useful for with modules? Note that this is not the standard --enable-versioning configure option stuff (I think). > - Please consider naming the package "environment-modules" > instead of just "modules" since it is the upstream project > name (the "Environment Modules Project") and its a lot less > ambiguous. The name "modules" gets used for all sorts of > stuff including kernel modules and perhaps a more descriptive > name can help avoid some confusion for new users? Its just > a suggestion, though. But "modules" seems to be the accepted shorthand and that is what the tar file is called. > - Please consider either adding the paper: > > http://modules.sourceforge.net/docs/MC2_whitney_paper.pdf > > to the documentation or adding a brief REAME-style link to > the homepage and the paper since its very helpful and well- > written document. Exactly the sort of thing new users should > read! > I'd rather keep the package size down.
