+Title: Transition from sys-cluster/singularity to app-containers/apptainer |
| 22 |

+In autumn 2021 the Singularity project joined the Linux Foundation |
| 29 |
+and changed its name to Apptainer [1]. The change has been reflected |
| 30 |
+in the renaming of files and environment variables, as well as a reset |
| 31 |
+of version numbers back to 1.0.0. |
| 32 |
+ |
| 33 |
+Apptainer packages include compatibility symlinks to old Singularity |
| 34 |
+executables, provide bash-completion rules for both the old and the new |
| 35 |
+name, continue to honour old environment variables, and will upon |
| 36 |
+the first run import user data from Singularity directories. Therefore, |
| 37 |
+for most users it will be sufficient to deselect the old package and |
| 38 |
+install the new one, e.g.: |
| 39 |
+ |
| 40 |
+emerge --deselect sys-cluster/singularity |
| 41 |
+emerge app-containers/apptainer |
| 42 |
+ |
| 43 |
+However, customisations made to system-wide configuration |
| 44 |
+in /etc/singularity will have to be applied to /etc/apptainer by hand. |
