Fixes missing chgrp on symlinks in package installations, and errors on
symlinks referencing non-existent or non-writable locations.
Note: `os.chown(.., follow_symlinks=False)` is python3 only, but
`os.lchown` exists in both versions.
A non-existent upstream should not be fatal: it could only mean it is
not deployed yet. In the meantime, it should not block the user to
rebuild anything it needs.
A warning is still emitted, to let the user decide if this is ok or not.
- [x] Add `mkdir -p` and `chmod` to ensure `/home/spack-test` exists and
has correct permissions.
- [x] Remove version comments from dependabot-managed action commits
- [x] Don't duplicate comment describing required fixes for distros with
patched git
Ubuntu patched git v2.25.1 with a security fix that also
introduced a breaking change, so v2.25.1 behaves like
v2.35.2 with respect to the use cases in CVE-2022-24765
The status displayed in the terminal title could be wrong when doing
distributed builds. For instance, doing `spack install glib` in two
different terminals could lead to the current package being reported as
`40/29` due to the way Spack handles retrying locks.
Work around this by keeping track of the package IDs that were already
encountered to avoid counting packages twice.
Known issues reports only 2 issues, among the bugs reported on GitHub.
One of the two is also outdated, since the issue has been solved
with the new concretizer. Thus, this commit removes the section.
Currently `old_root` is computed by reading the symlink at `self.root`.
We should be more defensive in removing it by checking that it is in the
same directory as the new root. Otherwise, in the worst case, when
someone runs `spack env create --with-view=./view -d .` and `view`
already exists and is a symlink to `/`, Spack effectively runs `rm -rf /`.
* stacks: add regression tests for matrix expansion
* Use constrain semantics to construct spec lists for stacks
* Fix semantics for constraining an anonymous spec. Add tests
* Fix reindex with uninstalled deps
When a prefix of a dep is removed, and the db is reindexed, it is added
through the dependent, but until now it incorrectly listed the spec as
'installed'.
There was also some questionable behavior in the db when the same spec
was added multiple times, it would always be marked installed.
* Always reserve path
* Only add installed spec's prefixes to install prefixes set
* Improve warning, and ensure ensure only ensures
* test: reindex with every file system remnant removed except for the old index; it should give a database with nothing installed, including records with installed==False,external==False,ref_count==0,explicit=True, and these should be removable from the database
* locks: allow locks to work under high contention
This is a bug found by Harshitha Menon.
The `lock=None` line shouldn't be a release but should be
```
return (lock_type, None)
```
to inform the caller it couldn't get the lock type requested without
disturbing the existing lock object in the database. There were also a
couple of bugs due to taking write locks at the beginning without any
checking or release, and not releasing read locks before requeueing.
This version no longer gives me read upgrade to write errors, even
running 200 instances on one box.
* Change lock in check_deps_status to read, release if not installed,
not sure why this was ever write, but read definitely is more
appropriate here, and the read lock is only held out of the scope if
the package is installed.
* Release read lock before requeueing to reduce chance of livelock, the
timeout that caused the original issue now happens in roughly 3 of 200
workers instead of 199 on average.
