First of all, thanks for your contribution to EESSI!

The EESSI versions (2023.06, 2025.06, etc) are currently split by toolchains: 2023.06 supports EasyBuild toolchains foss 2022b, 2023a, and 2023b, while EESSI 2025.06 only supports foss 2024a, 2025a, and 2025b. Since this version of pv uses GCC 12.3.0, which is part of toolchain foss/2023a, it would have to go into EESSI 2023.06.

If you prefer to have a pv installation in EESSI 2025.06, we would first need to get an easyconfig for a newer toolchain merged into EasyBuild. Looking at https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/develop/easybuild/easyconfigs/p/pv/pv-1.7.24-GCCcore-12.3.0.eb, this should be quite straightforward, since it does not really have any dependencies. At the same time the version of pv itself could also be bumped to the latest one. Would you be up for opening such a PR? I can help in getting that merged into EasyBuild.

Ah ok! The toolchain stuff had me stumped a bit - I tried to figure it out but obviously I didn't quite get there. I'll try the easybuild PR and see how it goes - thanks for the pointers!

@fullama Do you have concrete suggestions for how we could improve our docs to make things clearer?

[fullama]

I was thinking about that and am making notes as I go to see if it can help there..

[fullama]

ok so here are the unclear parts for me while following https://www.eessi.io/docs/adding_software/opening_pr/:

1. In this part of the docs :https://www.eessi.io/docs/adding_software/opening_pr/#software_layer_pull_request
   it says Determine the correct easystack file to change But there was no explaination of how to determine that.
   I picked one of the newest ones because We strongly prefer that the latest release of EasyBuild that is available at the time is used to add software to EESSI. should i instead have added it to eessi-2023.06-eb-5.2.0-2023b.yml? to me it looked like 2023.06 was deprecated and you wouldnt want to add anything there anymore?

Could help to add a sentence on how to pick?

2. 2023.06 supports EasyBuild toolchains foss 2022b, 2023a, and 2023b, while EESSI 2025.06 only supports foss 2024a, 2025a, and 2025b

this i didnt know at all - how does one find that out?

3. GCC 12.3.0, which is part of toolchain foss/2023a

to be fair i should have noticed everything else in the yaml was GCCcore-14.3.0. so thats my bad there. Would you look at this for example to know this?: https://docs.easybuild.io/common-toolchains/#common_toolchains_overview_foss if so maybe adding a link could help there?

@fullama we have noticed that your request has gone stale on our side? We would like to ask if you will still like this. Did you look into EasyBuild for a newer toolchain?
