@ -963,7 +963,7 @@ Variants are named options associated with a particular package. They are
optional, as each package must provide default values for each variant it
makes available. Variants can be specified using
a flexible parameter syntax ``name=<value>``. For example,
``spack install libelf debug=True`` will install libelf built with debug
``spack install mercury debug=True`` will install mercury built with debug
flags. The names of particular variants available for a package depend on
what was provided by the package author. ``spack info <package>`` will
provide information on what build variants are available.

For compatibility with earlier versions, variants which happen to be
boolean in nature can be specified by a syntax that represents turning
options on and off. For example, in the previous spec we could have
supplied ``libelf +debug`` with the same effect of enabling the debug
supplied ``mercury +debug`` with the same effect of enabling the debug
compile time option for the libelf package.
Depending on the package a variant may have any default value. For
``libelf`` here, ``debug`` is ``False`` by default, and we turned it on
``mercury`` here, ``debug`` is ``False`` by default, and we turned it on
with ``debug=True`` or ``+debug``. If a variant is ``True`` by default
you can turn it off by either adding ``-name`` or ``~name`` to the spec.
