Re: [Modules] Switching the version of a sticky module?

[Xavier D. <xav...@gm...>]

Hi Adrien,

Such feature is already available since the introduction if the sticky tag.

You just need to declare that the generic "pmix" name is sticky, not a
precise version:

  module-tag sticky pmix

This way you are able to switch from one version to another without any error.

See example at the end of the "Sticky modules" section in:
https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MIGRATING.html#sticky-modules

Best regards,
Xavier
