* parse eessi_api_metadata_software.json * extract relevant information for spack external packages → packages.yaml * handle typical naming differences (all-lower-case in spack), variants being encoded within module name in EESSI, etc.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is a nice heuristic to start with, but I can't help wonder if there's a lightweight way to query Spack whether this is a known package name, so we can have fallback heuristics as well (like prefixing with py- for Python packages)?

(Yes, this is ugly… → let's discuss it; our (EBRAINS/ESD people) plan is to improve it until we can test-drive it on a EESSI install on, e.g., JUSUF/JSC with some SNN simulators (maybe arbor?).)
