-1 for me, personally. Not much has changed since the last time this
suggestion got tossed around. In fact, the separation of sander into
AmberTools weakens this idea, IMO (since we don't have to worry about
"incompatibilities" b/w Amber and AT creeping in to these mid-cycle
releases).
update_amber still tells you definitively what version of Amber *and*
AmberTools is installed, and the fast-developing programs (cpptraj, ParmEd,
and to a lesser degree sander) report their version numbers in their
output. I think the Amber12/AmberTools 12-13 cycle went pretty seamlessly,
and it should be even easier this time around without sander
incompatibilities to worry about.
All the best,
Jason
