Thank you Jon. You are always welcomed to try Prefix out on the HPC |
| 11 |
settings. |

That is not the case. You can use Prefix from the Gentoo portage tree |
| 17 |
without modification, over Linux kernels. The overlays Amadio mentioned |
| 18 |
were for development purpose. |

One of our friends Christoph Junghans, was a contributor of Prefix. But |
| 25 |
eventually he decided that spack is the way to go. Jon, it might be |
| 26 |
worthwhile to have a chat with your colleague on this matter. Chris |
| 27 |
knows both sides well. |
