Not sure when you last looked at Singularity's code base, but it was completely re-written this year into Go, so some of the issues you saw may have been solved. Not sure, just letting you know if you haven't been following its development.

I never installed it from EPEL, as building from source was relatively easy in 2.x (trivially easy in 3.x) and allowed buildtime configurations specific to a cluster. If you pay for support you get custom repos, but that's up to the cluster maintainers to decide.
- gnufx 8y agoI know it's been re-written, but I don't know why that would restore my faith in it and Sylabs (for multiple reasons). It emphasizes the point about inclusion in Fedora (and other distributions?) for which there's some expectation of security and stability, even if you don't care about that.
