Make sure EESSI_SITE_INSTALL and EESSI_SITE_SOFTWARE_PREFIX are propagated into the compat layer environment
Caspar van Leeuwen
committed
Instead of EESSI_SITE_INSTALL, propagate EESSI_SITE_INSTALL_FORCE. This is the custom variable we introduced for the sole purpose of forcing site installs for the build scripts. We introduced a sep…

Fix condition for reloading the EESSI and EESSI-extend module for site installs that define EESSI_SITE_SOFTWARE_PREFIX

Set these variables automatically when we're not building for software.eessi.io or dev.eessi.io
