Add support for racket packages (#27564)
- Add variants for various common build flags, including support for both versions of the Racket VM environment. - Prevent `-j` flags to `make`, which has been known to cause problems with Racket builds. - Prefer the minimal release to improve install times. Bells and whistles carry their own runtime dependencies and should be installed via `raco`. An enterprising user may even create a `RacketPackage` class to make spack aware of `raco` installed packages. - Match the official version numbering scheme.

Much like Python, Racket packages and modules have their own special build system.
|
||||
To learn more about the specifics of Racket package system, please refer to the
|
||||
`Racket Docs <https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/cmdline.html>`_.

|

Phases
|
||||
^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The ``RacketPackage`` base class provides an ``install`` phase that
|
||||
can be overridden, corresponding to the use of:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ raco pkg install
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Caveats
|
||||
^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
In principle, ``raco`` supports a second, ``setup`` phase; however, we have not
|
||||
implemented this separately, as in normal circumstances, ``install`` also handles
|
||||
running ``setup`` automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike Python, Racket currently on supports two installation scopes for packages, user
|
||||
or system, and keeps a registry of installed packages at each scope in its configuration files.
|
||||
This means we can't simply compose a "``RACKET_PATH``" environment variable listing all of the
|
||||
places packages are installed, and update this at will.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately this means that all currently installed packages which extend Racket via ``raco pkg install``
|
||||
are accessible whenever Racket is accessible.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, because Spack does not implement uninstall hooks, uninstalling a Spack ``rkt-`` package
|
||||
will have no effect on the ``raco`` installed packages visible to your Racket installation.
|
||||
Instead, you must manually run ``raco pkg remove`` to keep the two package managers in a mutually
|
||||
consistent state.
