- Matt is taking a look at this
- [issue #655](https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/issues/655): Infinite Loop with spack and py-jupiter
- [PR #654](https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/pull/654): Do not use install to copy symbolic links
- Issue solved or almost solved:
- [issue #650](https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/issues/650): isFile now returns true if it exists and is not a directory
- [issue #617](https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/issues/617): Now printing both alias and deferenced module
- module list

- implementing this is work-in-progress
- Mailing list: depends_on_any() discussion
- can be used for something like `depends_on_any(one, two)`
- see `<add link to mailing list thread>`

- Presentation: How EasyBuild connects to Lmod
- slides @ https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/blob/main/my_docs/23/lmod_zoom_mtg_2023_06_06/presentation.pdf

- Lmod packages for Debian/Ubuntu @ https://github.com/surak/Lmod
- Should try and talk to current Debian maintainer of Lmod package (Andreas Beckmann to get these upstream)

- idea of setting "tags" on module load + filtering output of "module avail" based on set tags:

    module load TensorFlow/2.5.0-foss-2022a  # update $MODULETAGS to 'foo,bar,2022a,GCC-11.2.0'

    module avail => only shows which also add '2022a' to $MODULETAGS

- can be implemented in hooks
- Sven @ RWTH has this concept implemented in hooks!
- avail hook is only ~20 lines of code

## Next meeting

- Tue 11 July 2023
- (4 July is fireworks day in US)
