[Modules] Duplicate version symbol found

[Christoph N. <nie...@hl...>]

Hello,

I would like to mark modules as default and testing so that they show up like this:

$ module av mpi/openmpi
mpi/openmpi/1.6.5(default)
mpi/openmpi/1.7.2(testing)

and can be lauded via e.g.

$ module load mpi/openmpi/testing


I tried to use module-version in .modulerc to achieve this behaviour with the commands

module-version openmpi openmpi/1.6.5
module-version openmpi openmpi/1.7.2

but I get a warnig "Duplicate version symbol 'testing' found".
For the default version there is no such warning.

So it seems to me, that there is a problem/bug in module-version.

Best regards
Christoph Niethammer



PS: My current workaround for this problem is to use a variable in all the .modulrc files.

#%Module1.0
# File: $MODULEPATH/mpi/openmpi/.modulerc
set DEFAULT  1.6.5
module-version openmpi openmpi/$DEFAULT

# circumvent problem with duplicate definition of symbol testing
# The used variable name has to be unique to prevent conflicts if
# this workaround is used in multiple .modulerc files.
if { ![info exists MPI_OPENMPI_TESTING] } {
  set MPI_OPENMPI_TESTING   1.7.2
  module-version mpi/openmpi/$MPI_OPENMPI_TESTING    testing
}
