Re: [Modules] Hide modulefiles but show container module directory

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

Hi Marc,

Here are some other leads that may be explored :

* -d and -L options help to get a concise output from avail
sub-command: 1 version per module, default one with -d and latest one
with -L. There is no way currently to make these filters permanent for
any avail command.

* maybe dirA, dirB, etc could be made modulepaths (the path you
provide to "module use" command): no-indepth approach should help as
the top level name should already give a clue to users. If not, it may
mean that this top level name is part of the modulepath rather than
part of the module name

* build modulerc file (or files) with "module-hide --soft" commands
for each module versions of dirX/subdirY combination except one
(default or latest version for instance). This solution should provide
the outcome you except, but may require extra work to maintain

Regards,
Xavier

All I would like is to hide the leaf version numbers from within a module directory, but still show the two levels of hierarchy down to that level.

The reason for this is that I have multiple SUBDIR_? (around 20), each with many modulefiles (from a few to 10s). The idea would be to use module avail to get a top level view of the available SUBDIR modules without the clutter inside each module directory. Regular users would simply invoke 'module load DIR_1/SUBDIR_A' and rely on default and/or current version specifier. For a finer selection within SUBDIR_A, the user would target 'module avail -a DIR_1/SUBDIR_A' and all the available versions would be displayed.
