From Python docs:
--
'surrogateescape' will represent any incorrect bytes as code points in
the Unicode Private Use Area ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF. These
private code points will then be turned back into the same bytes when
the surrogateescape error handler is used when writing data. This is
useful for processing files in an unknown encoding.
--
This will allow us to process files with unknown encodings.
To accommodate the case of self-extracting bash scripts, filter_file
can now stop filtering text input if a certain marker is found. The
marker must be passed at call time via the "stop_at" function argument.
At that point the file will be reopened in binary mode and copied
verbatim.
* use "surrogateescape" error handling to ignore unknown chars
* permit to stop filtering if a marker is found
* add unit tests for non-ASCII and mixed text/binary files
We'd like to use a consistent checksum scheme everywhere so that we can:
a) incorporate archive checksums into our specs and have a
consistent hashing algorithm across all specs.
b) index mirrors with a consistent type of checksum, and not one that
is dependent on how spack packages are written.
- [x] convert existing md5, sha224, sha512, sha1 checksums to sha256
#11528 updated Stage to always store a Package's source in a fixed
directory accessible via `Stage.source_path` This left behind a
number of packages which were expecting to access the source code
via `Stage.path`. This Updates those packages to use
`Stage.source_path` instead.
This also updates the name of the fixed directory: The original name
of the fixed directory was "src", so if an expanded archive created a
"src" directory, then users inspecting the directory structure could
see paths like "src/src" (which wasn't wrong but could be confusing).
Therefore this also updates the name of the fixed directory to
"spack-src".
- remove the old LGPL license headers from all files in Spack
- add SPDX headers to all files
- core and most packages are (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
- a very small number of remaining packages are LGPL-2.1-only
