EUM'26 - Day 3

\n

On day 3 of the 11th EasyBuild User Meeting (EUM'26), we shifted our focus a bit towards\nEESSI, and also featured a guest keynote speaker from Fujitsu. Attendees\nactively engaged in discussions, which made it more challenging to stick to the schedule.

Interactive Shell to Debug Failed Builds

\n

One of the big enhancements in EasyBuild v5 is the support for starting an interactive shell to debug failed builds\nby simply running the auto-generated cmd.sh script.

\n

We would all prefer that no installation ever fails, but there will be times when they do.

\n

The new interactive shell feature provides a way to explore the build environment and debug the failure.
