The easybuild-easyblocks package provides a collection of easyblocks for EasyBuild (http://hpcugent.github.com/easybuild), a software build and installation framework written in Python that allows you to install software in a structured, repeatable and robust way.

Easyblocks are Python modules that implement the install procedure for a (group of) software package(s). Together with the EasyBuild framework, they allow to easily build and install supported software packages.

The code of the easybuild-easyblocks package is hosted on GitHub, along with an issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests, see http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks.

The EasyBuild documentation is available on the GitHub wiki of the easybuild meta-package, see http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/Home.
