Re: [Modules] Toward joining Linux Foundation and HPSF

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

Hello Michael,

I also observed that OpenHPC is not willing to integrate Environment
Modules. But OpenHPC and Spack are two different projects run by
different people.

As far as I know, Spack does not specifically push Lmod and works very
well with either module implementation.

Regards,
Xavier
