# Agenda Lmod Zoom Mtg Dec 5, 2023

## Addendees
- Matthew Cawood (TACC)
- Robert McLay (TACC)
- Kenneth Hoste (UGent)
## Notes
- Q/A
- Mailing List Q: ml avail slow for Lmod vs Tmod
  - ml -t av might be slower
- Pull Requests are merged in testing branch
  - PR673: adding JsonShell
  - PR670: Fix M.remove_path in src/MC_DependencyCk.lua (Also issue# 675)
- Issue #678: isFile returns true for a broken symlink
  - To fix this required following the symlink to real file
  - Now Lmod uses posix.realpath when available. It wasn't available in earlier version of lua posix. A lua version is used (l_abspath()) if posix.realpath() is not available.
  - Fixed in testing branch
- Issue #679: User wants to be able to control the "default" dynamically
  - I proposed making $LMOD_MODULERCFILE dynamic
  - User wants to use "module_version()"?
- Issue #674: Lmod Warning produces an error status
  - Changed Lmod to **NOT** generate an error when Lmod generates a warning
- Still not fixed:
  - Issue #669: include modulerc.d/*.lua
  - Issue #667: module extensions are not included in output of **ml --terse avail**
