- Added a new interface for Specs to pass build information
- Calls forwarded from Spec to Package are now explicit
- Added descriptor within Spec to manage forwarding
- Added state in Spec to maintain query information
- Modified a few packages (the one involved in spack install pexsi) to showcase changes
- This uses an object wrapper to `spec` to implement the `libs` sub-calls.
- wrapper is returned from `__getitem__` only if spec is concrete
- allows packagers to access build information easily
* mfem: add tarball extension
Add tarball extension as a result of a feature added in PR#1926, which
fixes earlier issues in this PR (PR#1202). Prior to adding this feature,
Spack would not autodetect the extension of the tarball downloaded from
the redirected, shorted Google URL, requiring a messy hack. This hack
worked for mfem version 3.1, but led to errors when adding mfem version
3.2 because the files downloaded from Google did not contain the package
name, version number, or extension. Adding the extension enables Spack
to rename the tarball downloaded from Google to a sensible name that is
compatible with its filename parsing algorithms so that Spack "does the
right thing" (detects that the file is a GZipped tarball, decompresses
it, runs GNU Make) in fetching and staging the package.
* mfem: add linkage to KLU & BTF
Add linkage to the KLU & BTF solvers, which are now enabled in MFEM for
versions 3.2 and later.
* mfem: Add superlu-dist variant
Add linkage to SuperLU_DIST, which is a new linear solver interface for
MFEM versions 3.2 and later.
* mfem: add netcdf variant for cubit mesh support
Add NetCDF variant for MFEM versions 3.2 and later; installing the
NetCDF interfaces enables CUBIT mesh support.
MFEM is a free, lightweight, scalable C++ library for finite element
methods.
Includes lapack, hypre, metis, suite-sparse, mpi variants & tests for
serial and parallel versions.
