* Allow branching out of the "generic build" unification set
For cases like the one in https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/39661
we need to relax rules on unification sets.
The issue is that, right now, nodes in the "generic build" unification
set are unified together with their build dependencies. This was done
out of caution to avoid the risk of circular dependencies, which would
ultimately cause a very slow solve.
For build-tools like Cython, however, the build dependencies is masked
by a long chain of "build, run" dependencies that belong in the
"generic build" unification space.
To allow splitting on cases like this, we relax the rule disallowing
branching out of the "generic build" unification set.
* Fix issue with pure build virtual dependencies
Pure build virtual dependencies were not accounted properly in the
list of possible virtuals. This caused some facts connecting virtuals
to the corresponding providers to not be emitted, and in the end
lead to unsat problems.
* Fixed a few issues in packages
py-gevent: restore dependency on py-cython@3
jsoncpp: fix typo in build dependency
ecp-data-vis-sdk: update spack.yaml and cmake recipe
py-statsmodels: add v0.13.5
* Make dependency on "blt" of type "build"
For a long time, the docs have generated a huge, static HTML package list. It has some
disadvantages:
* It's slow to load
* It's slow to build
* It's hard to search
We now have a nice website that can tell us about Spack packages, and it's searchable so
users can easily find the one or two packages out of 7400 that they're looking for. We
should link to this instead of including a static package list page in the docs.
- [x] Replace package list link with link to packages.spack.io
- [x] Remove `package_list.html` generation from `conf.py`.
- [x] Add a new section for "Links" to the docs.
- [x] Remove docstring notes from contribution guide (we haven't generated RST
for package docstrings for a while)
- [x] Remove referencese to `package-list` from docs.
This PR adds a new audit sub-command to check that detection of relevant packages
is performed correctly in a few scenarios mocking real use-cases. The data for each
package being tested is in a YAML file called detection_test.yaml alongside the
corresponding package.py file.
This is to allow encoding detection tests for compilers and other widely used tools,
in preparation for compilers as dependencies.
- Run `mkdirp` on `spec.prefix`
- Extract directly into `spec.prefix`
1. No need for `$store/tmp.xxx` where we extract the tarball directly, pray that it has one subdir `<name>-<version>-<hash>`, and then `rm -rf` the package prefix followed by `mv`.
2. No need to clean up this temp dir in `spack clean`.
3. Instead figure out package directory prefix from the tarball contents, and strip the tarinfo entries accordingly (kinda like tar --strip-components but more strict)
- Set package dir permissions
- Don't error during error handling when files cannot removed
- No need to "enrich" spec.json with this tarball-toplevel-path
After this PR, we can in fact tarball packages relative to `/` instead of `spec.prefix/..`, which makes it possible to use Spack tarballs as container layers, where relocation is impossible, and rootfs tarballs are expected.
Add support for conflict directives in Lua modulefile like done for Tcl
modulefile.
Note that conflicts are correctly honored on Lmod and Environment
Modules <4.2 only if mutually expressed on both modulefiles that
conflict with each other.
Migrate conflict code from Tcl-specific classes to the common part. Add
tests for Lmod and split the conflict test case in two.

Lock objects can now be instantiated independently,
without being tied to the global configuration. The
same is true for database and store objects.
The database __init__ method has been simplified to
take a single lock configuration object. Some common
lock configurations (e.g. NO_LOCK or NO_TIMEOUT) have
been named and are provided as globals.
The use_store context manager keeps the configuration
consistent by pushing and popping an internal scope.
It can also be tuned by passing extra data to set up
e.g. upstreams or anything else that might be related
to the store.
Refactor `TermTitle` into `InstallStatus` and use it to show progress
information both in the terminal title as well as inline. This also
turns on the terminal title status by default.
The inline output will look like the following after this change:
```
==> Installing m4-1.4.19-w2fxrpuz64zdq63woprqfxxzc3tzu7p3 [4/4]
```
Change default naming scheme for tcl modules for a more user-friendly
experience.
Change from flat projection to "per software name" projection.
Flat naming scheme restrains module selection capabilities. The
`{name}/{version}...` scheme make possible to use user-friendly
mechanisms:
* implicit defaults (`module load git`)
* extended default (`module load git/2`)
* advanced version specifiers (`module load git@2:`)
If a user does not explicitly `--force` the concretization of an entire environment,
Spack will try to reuse the concrete specs that are already in the lockfile.

This is a refactor of Spack's stand-alone test process to be more spack- and pytest-like.
It is more spack-like in that test parts are no longer "hidden" in a package's run_test()
method and pytest-like in that any package method whose name starts test_
(i.e., a "test" method) is a test part. We also support the ability to embed test parts in a
test method when that makes sense.
Test methods are now implicit test parts. The docstring is the purpose for the test part.
The name of the method is the name of the test part. The working directory is the active
spec's test stage directory. You can embed test parts using the test_part context manager.
Functionality added by this commit:
* Adds support for multiple test_* stand-alone package test methods, each of which is
an implicit test_part for execution and reporting purposes;
* Deprecates package use of run_test();
* Exposes some functionality from run_test() as optional helper methods;
* Adds a SkipTest exception that can be used to flag stand-alone tests as being skipped;
* Updates the packaging guide section on stand-alone tests to provide more examples;
* Restores the ability to run tests "inherited" from provided virtual packages;
* Prints the test log path (like we currently do for build log paths);
* Times and reports the post-install process (since it can include post-install tests);
* Corrects context-related error message to distinguish test recipes from build recipes.
Add a "require" directive to packages, which functions exactly like
requirements specified in packages.yaml (uses the same fact-generation
logic); update both to allow making the requirement conditional.
* Packages may now use "require" to add constraints. This can be useful
for something like "require(%gcc)" (where before we had to add a
conflict for every compiler except gcc).
* Requirements (in packages.yaml or in a "require" directive) can be
conditional on a spec, e.g. "require(%gcc, when=@1.0.0)" (version
1.0.0 can only build with gcc).
* Requirements may include a message which clarifies why they are needed.
The concretizer assigns a high priority to errors which generate these
messages (in particular over errors for unsatisfied requirements that
do not produce messages, but also over a number of more-generic
errors).
## Version types, parsing and printing
- The version classes have changed: `VersionBase` is removed, there is now a
`ConcreteVersion` base class. `StandardVersion` and `GitVersion` both inherit
from this.
- The public api (`Version`, `VersionRange`, `ver`) has changed a bit:
1. `Version` produces either `StandardVersion` or `GitVersion` instances.
2. `VersionRange` produces a `ClosedOpenRange`, but this shouldn't affect the user.
3. `ver` produces any of `VersionList`, `ClosedOpenRange`, `StandardVersion`
or `GitVersion`.
- No unexpected type promotion, so that the following is no longer an identity:
`Version(x) != VersionRange(x, x)`.
- `VersionList.concrete` now returns a version if it contains only a single element
subtyping `ConcreteVersion` (i.e. `StandardVersion(...)` or `GitVersion(...)`)
- In version lists, the parser turns `@x` into `VersionRange(x, x)` instead
of `Version(x)`.
- The above also means that `ver("x")` produces a range, whereas
`ver("=x")` produces a `StandardVersion`. The `=` is part of _VersionList_
syntax.
- `VersionList.__str__` now outputs `=x.y.z` for specific version entries,
and `x.y.z` as a short-hand for ranges `x.y.z:x.y.z`.
- `Spec.format` no longer aliases `{version}` to `{versions}`, but pulls the
concrete version out of the list and prints that -- except when the list is
is not concrete, then is falls back to `{versions}` to avoid a pedantic error.
For projections of concrete specs, `{version}` should be used to render
`1.2.3` instead of `=1.2.3` (which you would get with `{versions}`).
The default `Spec` format string used in `Spec.__str__` now uses
`{versions}` so that `str(Spec(string)) == string` holds.
## Changes to `GitVersion`
- `GitVersion` is a small wrapper around `StandardVersion` which enriches it
with a git ref. It no longer inherits from it.
- `GitVersion` _always_ needs to be able to look up an associated Spack version
if it was not assigned (yet). It throws a `VersionLookupError` whenever `ref_version`
is accessed but it has no means to look up the ref; in the past Spack would
not error and use the commit sha as a literal version, which was incorrect.
- `GitVersion` is never equal to `StandardVersion`, nor is satisfied by it. This
is such that we don't lose transitivity. This fixes the following bug on `develop`
where `git_version_a == standard_version == git_version_b` does not imply
`git_version_a == git_version_b`. It also ensures equality always implies equal
hash, which is also currently broken on develop; inclusion tests of a set of
versions + git versions would behave differently from inclusion tests of a
list of the same objects.
- The above means `ver("ref=1.2.3) != ver("=1.2.3")` could break packages that branch
on specific versions, but that was brittle already, since the same happens with
externals: `pkg@1.2.3-external` suffixes wouldn't be exactly equal either. Instead,
those checks should be `x.satisfies("@1.2.3")` which works both for git versions and
custom version suffixes.
- `GitVersion` from commit will now print as `<hash>=<version>` once the
git ref is resolved to a spack version. This is for reliability -- version is frozen
when added to the database and queried later. It also improves performance
since there is no need to clone all repos of all git versions after `spack clean -m`
is run and something queries the database, triggering version comparison, such
as potentially reuse concretization.
- The "empty VerstionStrComponent trick" for `GitVerison` is dropped since it wasn't
representable as a version string (by design). Instead, it's replaced by `git`,
so you get `1.2.3.git.4` (which reads 4 commits after a tag 1.2.3). This means
that there's an edge case for version schemes `1.1.1`, `1.1.1a`, since the
generated git version `1.1.1.git.1` (1 commit after `1.1.1`) compares larger
than `1.1.1a`, since `a < git` are compared as strings. This is currently a
wont-fix edge case, but if really required, could be fixed by special casing
the `git` string.
- Saved, concrete specs (database, lock file, ...) that only had a git sha as their
version, but have no means to look the effective Spack version anymore, will
now see their version mapped to `hash=develop`. Previously these specs
would always have their sha literally interpreted as a version string (even when
it _could_ be looked up). This only applies to databases, lock files and spec.json
files created before Spack 0.20; after this PR, we always have a Spack version
associated to the relevant GitVersion).
- Fixes a bug where previously `to_dict` / `from_dict` (de)serialization would not
reattach the repo to the GitVersion, causing the git hash to be used as a literal
(bogus) version instead of the resolved version. This was in particularly breaking
version comparison in the build process on macOS/Windows.
## Installing or matching specific versions
- In the past, `spack install pkg@3.2` would install `pkg@=3.2` if it was a
known specific version defined in the package, even when newer patch releases
`3.2.1`, `3.2.2`, `...` were available. This behavior was only there because
there was no syntax to distinguish between `3.2` and `3.2.1`. Since there is
syntax for this now through `pkg@=3.2`, the old exact matching behavior is
removed. This means that `spack install pkg@3.2` constrains the `pkg` version
to the range `3.2`, and `spack install pkg@=3.2` constrains it to the specific
version `3.2`.
- Also in directives such as `depends_on("pkg@2.3")` and their when
conditions `conflicts("...", when="@2.3")` ranges are ranges, and specific
version matches require `@=2.3.`.
- No matching version: in the case `pkg@3.2` matches nothing, concretization
errors. However, if you run `spack install pkg@=3.2` and this version
doesn't exist, Spack will define it; this allows you to install non-registered
versions.
- For consistency, you can now do `%gcc@10` and let it match a configured
`10.x.y` compiler. It errors when there is no matching compiler.
In the past it was interpreted like a specific `gcc@=10` version, which
would get bootstrapped.
- When compiler _bootstrapping_ is enabled, `%gcc@=10.2.0` can be used to
bootstrap a specific compiler version.
## Other changes
- Externals, compilers, and develop spec definitions are backwards compatible.
They are typically defined as `pkg@3.2.1` even though they should be
saying `pkg@=3.2.1`. Spack now transforms `pkg@3` into `pkg@=3` in those cases.
- Finally, fix strictness of `version(...)` directive/declaration. It just does a simple
type check, and now requires strings/integers. Floats are not allowed because
they are ambiguous `str(3.10) == "3.1"`.
`spack buildcache create` is a misnomer cause it's the only way to push to
an existing buildcache (and it in fact calls binary_distribution.push).
Also we have `spack buildcache update-index` but for create the flag is
`--rebuild-index`, which is confusing (and also... why "rebuild"
something if the command is "create" in the first place, that implies it
wasn't there to begin with).
So, after this PR, you can use either
```
spack buildcache create --rebuild-index
```
or
```
spack buildcache push --update-index
```
Also, alias `spack buildcache rebuild-index` to `spack buildcache
update-index`.
- [x] Replace `version(ver, checksum=None, **kwargs)` signature with
`version(ver, checksum=None, *, sha256=..., ...)` explicitly listing all arguments.
- [x] Fix various issues in packages:
- `tags` instead of `tag`
- `default` instead of `preferred`
- `sha26` instead of `sha256`
- etc
Also, use `sha256=...` consistently.
Note: setting `sha256` currently doesn't validate the checksum length, so you could do
`sha256="a"*32` and it would get checked as `md5`... but that's something for another PR.
Other tools like git support `GIT_EDITOR` which takes higher precedence than the
standard `VISUAL` or `EDITOR` variables. This adds similar support for Spack, in the
`SPACK_EDITOR` env var.
- [x] consolidate editor code from hooks into `spack.util.editor`
- [x] add more editor tests
- [x] add support for `SPACK_EDITOR`
- [x] add a documentation section for controlling the editor and reference it

Since environment-modules has support for autoloading since 4.2,
and Spack-builds of it enable it by default, use the same autoload
default for tcl as lmod.
The `ignore` parameter was only used for `spack activate/deactivate`, and it isn't used
by Spack Environments which have their own handling of file conflicts. We should remove it.
Everything that handles `ignore=` was removed in #29317 and included in 0.19, when we
removed `spack activate` and `spack deactivate` in favor of environments. So all of these
usages removed here were already being ignored by Spack.

Environments managed by spack have some advantages over anonymous Environments
but they are tucked away inside spack's directory tree. This PR gives
users the ability to specify where the environments should live.
See #32823
This is also taken as an opportunity to ensure that all references are to "managed environments",
rather than "named environments". Prior to this PR some references to the latter persisted.

This commit adds a new maintainer directive,
which by default extend the list of maintainers
for a given package.
The directive is backward compatible with the current
practice of having a "maintainers" list declared at
the class level.
All packages with explicit Windows support can be found with
`spack list --tags=windows`.
This also removes the documentation which explicitly lists
supported packages on Windows (which is currently out of date and
is now unnecessary with the added tags).
Note that if a package does not appear in this list, it *may*
still build on Windows, but it likely means that no explicit
attempt has been made to support it.
Since SPACK_PACKAGE_IDS is now also "namespaced" with <prefix>, it makes
more sense to call the flag `--make-prefix` and alias the old flag
`--make-target-prefix` to it.
With the new variable [prefix/]SPACK_PACKAGE_IDS you can conveniently execute
things after each successful install.
For example push just-built packages to a buildcache
```
SPACK ?= spack
export SPACK_COLOR = always
MAKEFLAGS += -Orecurse
MY_BUILDCACHE := $(CURDIR)/cache
.PHONY: all clean
all: push
ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
include env.mk
endif
# the relevant part: push has *all* example/push/<pkg identifier> as prereqs
push: $(addprefix example/push/,$(example/SPACK_PACKAGE_IDS))
$(SPACK) -e . buildcache update-index --directory $(MY_BUILDCACHE)
$(info Pushed everything, yay!)
# and each example/push/<pkg identifier> has the install target as prereq,
# and the body can use target local $(HASH) and $(SPEC) variables to do
# things, such as pushing to a build cache
example/push/%: example/install/%
@mkdir -p $(dir $@)
$(SPACK) -e . buildcache create --allow-root --only=package --unsigned --directory $(MY_BUILDCACHE) /$(HASH) # push $(SPEC)
@touch $@
spack.lock: spack.yaml
$(SPACK) -e . concretize -f
env.mk: spack.lock
$(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix example
clean:
rm -rf spack.lock env.mk example/

With this change we get the invariant that `mirror.fetch_url` and
`mirror.push_url` return valid URLs, even when the backing config
file is actually using (relative) paths with potentially `$spack` and
`$env` like variables.
Secondly it avoids expanding mirror path / URLs too early,
so if I say `spack mirror add name ./path`, it stays `./path` in my
config. When it's retrieved through MirrorCollection() we
exand it to say `file://<env dir>/path` if `./path` was set in an
environment scope.
Thirdly, the interface is simplified for the relevant buildcache
commands, so it's more like `git push`:
```
spack buildcache create [mirror] [specs...]
```
`mirror` is either a mirror name, a path, or a URL.
Resolving the relevant mirror goes as follows:
- If it contains either / or \ it is used as an anonymous mirror with
path or url.
- Otherwise, it's interpreted as a named mirror, which must exist.
This helps to guard against typos, e.g. typing `my-mirror` when there
is no such named mirror now errors with:
```
$ spack -e . buildcache create my-mirror
==> Error: no mirror named "my-mirror". Did you mean ./my-mirror?
```
instead of creating a directory in the current working directory. I
think this is reasonable, as the alternative (requiring that a local dir
exists) feels a bit pendantic in the general case -- spack is happy to
create the build cache dir when needed, saving a `mkdir`.
The old (now deprecated) format will still be available in Spack 0.20,
but is scheduled to be removed in 0.21:
```
spack buildcache create (--directory | --mirror-url | --mirror-name) [specs...]
```
This PR also touches `tmp_scope` in tests, because it didn't really
work for me, since spack fixes the possible --scope values once and
for all across tests, so tests failed when run out of order.
`spack graph` has been reworked to use:
- Jinja templates
- builder objects to construct the template context when DOT graphs are requested.
This allowed to add a new colored output for DOT graphs that highlights both
the dependency types and the nodes that are needed at runtime for a given spec.
Currently, the Spack docs show documentation for submodules *before* documentation for
submodules on package doc pages. This means that if you put docs in `__init__.py` in
some package, the docs in there will be shown *after* the docs for all submodules of the
package instead of at the top as an intro to the package. See, e.g.,
[the lockfile docs](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spack.environment.html#module-spack.environment),
which should be at the
[top of that page](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spack.environment.html).
- [x] add the `--module-first` option to sphinx so that it generates module docs at top of page.
## Motivation
Our parser grew to be quite complex, with a 2-state lexer and logic in the parser
that has up to 5 levels of nested conditionals. In the future, to turn compilers into
proper dependencies, we'll have to increase the complexity further as we foresee
the need to add:
1. Edge attributes
2. Spec nesting
to the spec syntax (see https://github.com/spack/seps/pull/5 for an initial discussion of
those changes). The main attempt here is thus to _simplify the existing code_ before
we start extending it later. We try to do that by adopting a different token granularity,
and by using more complex regexes for tokenization. This allow us to a have a "flatter"
encoding for the parser. i.e., it has fewer nested conditionals and a near-trivial lexer.
There are places, namely in `VERSION`, where we have to use negative lookahead judiciously
to avoid ambiguity. Specifically, this parse is ambiguous without `(?!\s*=)` in `VERSION_RANGE`
and an extra final `\b` in `VERSION`:
```
@ 1.2.3 : develop # This is a version range 1.2.3:develop
@ 1.2.3 : develop=foo # This is a version range 1.2.3: followed by a key-value pair
```
## Differences with the previous parser
~There are currently 2 known differences with the previous parser, which have been added on purpose:~
- ~No spaces allowed after a sigil (e.g. `foo @ 1.2.3` is invalid while `foo @1.2.3` is valid)~
- ~`/<hash> @1.2.3` can be parsed as a concrete spec followed by an anonymous spec (before was invalid)~
~We can recover the previous behavior on both ones but, especially for the second one, it seems the current behavior in the PR is more consistent.~
The parser is currently 100% backward compatible.
## Error handling
Being based on more complex regexes, we can possibly improve error
handling by adding regexes for common issues and hint users on that.
I'll leave that for a following PR, but there's a stub for this approach in the PR.
## Performance
To be sure we don't add any performance penalty with this new encoding, I measured:
```console
$ spack python -m timeit -s "import spack.spec" -c "spack.spec.Spec(<spec>)"
```
for different specs on my machine:
* **Spack:** 0.20.0.dev0 (c9db4e50ba045f5697816187accaf2451cb1aae7)
* **Python:** 3.8.10
* **Platform:** linux-ubuntu20.04-icelake
* **Concretizer:** clingo
results are:
| Spec | develop | this PR |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------- |
| `trilinos` | 28.9 usec | 13.1 usec |
| `trilinos @1.2.10:1.4.20,2.0.1` | 131 usec | 120 usec |
| `trilinos %gcc` | 44.9 usec | 20.9 usec |
| `trilinos +foo` | 44.1 usec | 21.3 usec |
| `trilinos foo=bar` | 59.5 usec | 25.6 usec |
| `trilinos foo=bar ^ mpich foo=baz` | 120 usec | 82.1 usec |
so this new parser seems to be consistently faster than the previous one.
## Modifications
In this PR we just substituted the Spec parser, which means:
- [x] Deleted in `spec.py` the `SpecParser` and `SpecLexer` classes. deleted `spack/parse.py`
- [x] Added a new parser in `spack/parser.py`
- [x] Hooked the new parser in all the places the previous one was used
- [x] Adapted unit tests in `test/spec_syntax.py`
## Possible future improvements
Random thoughts while working on the PR:
- Currently we transform hashes and files into specs during parsing. I think
we might want to introduce an additional step and parse special objects like
a `FileSpec` etc. in-between parsing and concretization.
* Enable hdf5 build (including +mpi) on Windows
* This includes updates to hdf5 dependencies openssl (minor edit) and
bzip2 (more-extensive edits)
* Add binary-based installation of msmpi (this is currently the only
supported MPI implementation in Spack for Windows). Note that this
does not install to the Spack-specified prefix. This implementation
will be replaced with a source-based implementation

* Remove CI jobs related to Python 2.7
* Remove Python 2.7 specific code from Spack core

* Remove llnl.util.compat
Environments and environment views have taken over the role of `spack activate/deactivate`, and we should deprecate these commands for several reasons:
- Global activation is a really poor idea:
- Install prefixes should be immutable; since they can have multiple, unrelated dependents; see below
- Added complexity elsewhere: verification of installations, tarballs for build caches, creation of environment views of packages with unrelated extensions "globally activated"... by removing the feature, it gets easier for people to contribute, and we'd end up with fewer bugs due to edge cases.
- Environment accomplish the same thing for non-global "activation" i.e. `spack view`, but better.
Also we write in the docs:
```
However, Spack global activations have two potential drawbacks:
#. Activated packages that involve compiled C extensions may still
need their dependencies to be loaded manually. For example,
``spack load openblas`` might be required to make ``py-numpy``
work.
#. Global activations "break" a core feature of Spack, which is that
multiple versions of a package can co-exist side-by-side. For example,
suppose you wish to run a Python package in two different
environments but the same basic Python --- one with
``py-numpy@1.7`` and one with ``py-numpy@1.8``. Spack extensions
will not support this potential debugging use case.
```
Now that environments are established and views can take over the role of activation
non-destructively, we can remove global activation/deactivation.
`spack env create` enables a view by default (in a weird hidden
directory, but well...). This is asking for trouble with the other
default of `concretizer:unify:false`, since having different flavors of
the same spec in an environment, leads to collision errors when
generating the view.
A change of defaults would improve user experience:
However, `unify:true` makes most sense, since any time the issue is
brought up in Slack, the user changes the concretization config, since
it wasn't the intention to have different flavors of the same spec, and
install times are decreased.
Further we improve the docs and drop the duplicate root spec limitation
Argparse started raising ArgumentError exceptions
when the same parser is added twice. Therefore, we
perform the addition only if the parser is not there
already
Port match syntax to our unparser
A user may want to set some attributes on a package without actually modifying the package (e.g. if they want to git pull updates to the package without conflicts). This PR adds a per-package configuration section called "set", which is a dictionary of attribute names to desired values. For example:
packages:
openblas:
package_attributes:
submodules: true
git: "https://github.com/myfork/openblas"
in this case, the package will always retrieve git submodules, and will use an alternate location for the git repo.
While git, url, and submodules are the attributes for which we envision the most usage, this allows any attribute to be overridden, and the acceptable values are any value parseable from yaml.
Adds another post install hook that loops over the install prefix, looking for shared libraries type of ELF files, and sets the soname to their own absolute paths.
The idea being, whenever somebody links against those libraries, the linker copies the soname (which is the absolute path to the library) as a "needed" library, so that at runtime the dynamic loader realizes the needed library is a path which should be loaded directly without searching.
As a result:
1. rpaths are not used for the fixed/static list of needed libraries in the dynamic section (only for _actually_ dynamically loaded libraries through `dlopen`), which largely solves the issue that Spack's rpaths are a heuristic (`<prefix>/lib` and `<prefix>/lib64` might not be where libraries really are...)
2. improved startup times (no library search required)
Currently, compiler flags and variants are inconsistent: compiler flags set for a
package are inherited by its dependencies, while variants are not. We should have these
be consistent by allowing for inheritance to be enabled or disabled for both variants
and compiler flags.
- [x] Make new (spec language) operators
- [x] Apply operators to variants and compiler flags
- [x] Conflicts currently result in an unsatisfiable spec
(i.e., you can't propagate two conflicting values)
What I propose is using two of the currently used sigils to symbolized that the variant
or compiler flag will be inherited:
Example syntax:
- `package ++variant`
enabled variant that will be propagated to dependencies
- `package +variant`
enabled variant that will NOT be propagated to dependencies
- `package ~~variant`
disabled variant that will be propagated to dependencies
- `package ~variant`
disabled variant that will NOT be propagated to dependencies
- `package cflags==True`
`cflags` will be propagated to dependencies
- `package cflags=True`
`cflags` will NOT be propagated to dependencies
Syntax for string-valued variants is similar to compiler flags.
The `spack info <package>` command does not show the `Virtual Packages:` output unless the `--virtuals` command option is passed. Before this changes, the information that the command is supposed to be illustrating is not shown in the example and is confusing.
This commit extends the DSL that can be used in packages
to allow declaring that a package uses different build-systems
under different conditions.
It requires each spec to have a `build_system` single valued
variant. The variant can be used in many context to query, manipulate
or select the build system associated with a concrete spec.
The knowledge to build a package has been moved out of the
PackageBase hierarchy, into a new Builder hierarchy. Customization
of the default behavior for a given builder can be obtained by
coding a new derived builder in package.py.
The "run_after" and "run_before" decorators are now applied to
methods on the builder. They can also incorporate a "when="
argument to specify that a method is run only when certain
conditions apply.
For packages that do not define their own builder, forwarding logic
is added between the builder and package (methods not found in one
will be retrieved from the other); this PR is expected to be fully
backwards compatible with unmodified packages that use a single
build system.

fixes#31484
Before this change if anything was matching an external
condition, it was considered "external" and thus something
to be "built".
This was happening in particular to external packages
that were re-read from the DB, which then couldn't be
reused, causing the problems shown in #31484.
This PR fixes the issue by excluding specs with a
"hash" from being considered "external"
* Test that users have a way to select a virtual
This ought to be solved by extending the "require"
attribute to virtual packages, so that one can:
```yaml
mpi:
require: 'multi-provider-mpi'
```
* Prevent conflicts to be enforced on specs that can be reused.
* Rename the "external_only" fact to "buildable_false", to better reflect its origin
* Preliminary support for include URLs in spack.yaml (environment) files
This commit adds support in environments for external configuration files obtained from a URL with a preference for grabbing raw text from GitHub and gitlab for efficient downloads of the relevant files. The URL can also be a link to a directory that contains multiple configuration files.
Remote configuration files are retrieved and cached for the environment. Configuration files with the same name will not be overwritten once cached.
Extend the semantics of package requirements to
allow using them also under a virtual package
attribute in packages.yaml
These requirements are enforced whenever that
virtual spec is present in the DAG.
Allow users to express default requirements in packages.yaml.
These requirements are overridden if more specific requirements
are present for a given package.
Spack doesn't have an easy way to say something like "If I build
package X, then I *need* version Y":
* If you specify something on the command line, then you ensure
that the constraints are applied, but the package is always built
* Likewise if you `spack add X...`` to your environment, the
constraints are guaranteed to hold, but the environment always
builds the package
* You can add preferences to packages.yaml, but these are not
guaranteed to hold (Spack can choose other settings)
This commit adds a 'require' subsection to packages.yaml: the
specs added there are guaranteed to hold. The commit includes
documentation for the feature.

All PRs are failing the docs build on account of an error with
pygments. These errors coincide with a new release of pygments
(2.13.0) and restricting to < 2.13 allows the doc tests to pass,
so this commit enforces that constraint for the docs build.

`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` can break system executables (e.g., when an enviornment is loaded) and isn't necessary thanks to `RPATH`s. Packages that require `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` can set this in `setup_run_environment`.
- [x] Prefix inspections no longer set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` by default
- [x] Document changes and workarounds for people who want `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
For a long time the module configuration has had a few settings that use
`blacklist`/`whitelist` terminology. We've been asked by some of our users to replace
this with more inclusive language. In addition to being non-inclusive, `blacklist` and
`whitelist` are inconsistent with the rest of Spack, which uses `include` and `exclude`
for the same concepts.
- [x] Deprecate `blacklist`, `whitelist`, `blacklist_implicits` and `environment_blacklist`
in favor of `exclude`, `include`, `exclude_implicits` and `exclude_env_vars` in module
configuration, to be removed in Spack v0.20.
- [x] Print deprecation warnings if any of the deprecated names are in module config.
- [x] Update tests to test old and new names.
- [x] Update docs.
- [x] Update `spack config update` to fix this automatically, and include a note in the error
that you can use this command.
The "submodules" argument of the "version" directive can now accept
a callable that returns a list of submodules, in addition to the usual
Boolean values
Explicitly import package utilities in all packages, and corresponding fallout.
This includes:
* rename `spack.package` to `spack.package_base`
* rename `spack.pkgkit` to `spack.package`
* update all packages in builtin, builtin_mock and tutorials to include `from spack.package import *`
* update spack style
* ensure packages include the import
* automatically add the new import and remove any/all imports of `spack` and `spack.pkgkit`
from packages when using `--fix`
* add support for type-checking packages with mypy when SPACK_MYPY_CHECK_PACKAGES
is set in the environment
* fix all type checking errors in packages in spack upstream
* update spack create to include the new imports
* update spack repo to inject the new import, injection persists to allow for a deprecation period
Original message below:
As requested @adamjstewart, update all packages to use pkgkit. I ended up using isort to do this,
so repro is easy:
```console
$ isort -a 'from spack.pkgkit import *' --rm 'spack' ./var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/*/package.py
$ spack style --fix
```
There were several line spacing fixups caused either by space manipulation in isort or by packages
that haven't been touched since we added requirements, but there are no functional changes in here.
* [x] add config to isort to make sure this is maintained going forward
This PR builds on #28392 by adding a convenience command to create a local mirror that can be used to bootstrap Spack. This is to overcome the inconvenience in setting up this mirror manually, which has been reported when trying to setup Spack on air-gapped systems.
Using this PR the user can create a bootstrapping mirror, on a machine with internet access, by:
% spack bootstrap mirror --binary-packages /opt/bootstrap
==> Adding "clingo-bootstrap@spack+python %apple-clang target=x86_64" and dependencies to the mirror at /opt/bootstrap/local-mirror
==> Adding "gnupg@2.3: %apple-clang target=x86_64" and dependencies to the mirror at /opt/bootstrap/local-mirror
==> Adding "patchelf@0.13.1:0.13.99 %apple-clang target=x86_64" and dependencies to the mirror at /opt/bootstrap/local-mirror
==> Adding binary packages from "https://github.com/alalazo/spack-bootstrap-mirrors/releases/download/v0.1-rc.2/bootstrap-buildcache.tar.gz" to the mirror at /opt/bootstrap/local-mirror
To register the mirror on the platform where it's supposed to be used run the following command(s):
% spack bootstrap add --trust local-sources /opt/bootstrap/metadata/sources
% spack bootstrap add --trust local-binaries /opt/bootstrap/metadata/binaries
The mirror has to be moved over to the air-gapped system, and registered using the commands shown at prompt. The command has options to:
1. Add pre-built binaries downloaded from Github (default is not to add them)
2. Add development dependencies for Spack (currently the Python packages needed to use spack style)
* bootstrap: refactor bootstrap.yaml to move sources metadata out
* bootstrap: allow adding/removing custom bootstrapping sources
This operation can be performed from the command line since
new subcommands have been added to `spack bootstrap`
* Add --trust argument to spack bootstrap add
* Add a command to generate a local mirror for bootstrapping
* Add a unit test for mirror creation
Currently, environments can either be concretized fully together or fully separately. This works well for users who create environments for interoperable software and can use `concretizer:unify:true`. It does not allow environments with conflicting software to be concretized for maximal interoperability.
The primary use-case for this is facilities providing system software. Facilities provide multiple MPI implementations, but all software built against a given MPI ought to be interoperable.
This PR adds a concretization option `concretizer:unify:when_possible`. When this option is used, Spack will concretize specs in the environment separately, but will optimize for minimal differences in overlapping packages.
* Add a level of indirection to root specs
This commit introduce the "literal" atom, which comes with
a few different "arities". The unary "literal" contains an
integer that id the ID of a spec literal. Other "literals"
contain information on the requests made by literal ID. For
instance zlib@1.2.11 generates the following facts:
literal(0,"root","zlib").
literal(0,"node","zlib").
literal(0,"node_version_satisfies","zlib","1.2.11").
This should help with solving large environments "together
where possible" since later literals can be now solved
together in batches.
* Add a mechanism to relax the number of literals being solved
* Modify spack solve to display the new criteria
Since the new criteria is above all the build criteria,
we need to modify the way we display the output.

Instead of coupling the PyclingoDriver() object with
spack.config, inject the concrete specs that can be
reused.
A method level function takes care of reading from
the store and the buildcache.
* spack solve: show output of multi-rounds

* Introduce concretizer:unify option to replace spack:concretization
* Deprecate concretization
* Make spack:concretization overrule concretize:unify for now
* Add environment update logic to move from spack:concretization to spack:concretizer:reuse
* Migrate spack:concretization to spack:concretize:unify in all locations

Reworking lua to allow easier substitution of the base lua implementation.
Also adding in a maintained version of luajit and re-factoring the entire stack
to use a custom build-system to centralize functionality like environment
variable management and luarocks installation.
The `lua-lang` virtual is now versioned so that a package that requires
Lua 5.1 semantics can get any lua, but one that requires 5.2 will only
get upstream lua.
The luaposix package requires lua-bit32, but only when built with a
lua conforming to version 5.1. This adds the package, and the
dependencies, but exposed a problem with luarocks dependency
detection. Since we're installing each package in its own "tree" and
there's no environment variable to list extra trees, spack now
generates a luarocks config file that lists all the trees of all the
dependencies, and references it by setting `LUAROCKS_CONFIG`
in the build environment of every LuaPackage. This allows luarocks
to find the spack installed dependencies correctly rather than
trying (and failing) to download them.

`make` solves a lot of headaches that would otherwise have to be implemented in Spack:
1. Parallelism over packages through multiple `spack install` processes
2. Orderly output of parallel package installs thanks to `make --sync-output=recurse` or `make -Orecurse` (works well in GNU Make 4.3; macOS is unfortunately on a 16 years old 3.x version, but it's one `spack install gmake` away...)
3. Shared jobserver across packages, which means a single `-j` to rule them all, instead of manually finding a balance between `#spack install processes` & `#jobs per package` (See #30302).
This pr adds the `spack env depfile` command that generates a Makefile with dag hashes as
targets, and dag hashes of dependencies as prerequisites, and a command
along the lines of `spack install --only=packages /hash` to just install
a single package.
It exposes two convenient phony targets: `all`, `fetch-all`. The former installs the environment, the latter just fetches all sources. So one can either use `make all -j16` directly or run `make fetch-all -j16` on a login node and `make all -j16` on a compute node.
Example:
```yaml
spack:
specs: [perl]
view: false
```
running
```
$ spack -e . env depfile --make-target-prefix env | tee Makefile
```
generates
```Makefile

Then with `make -O` you get very nice orderly output when packages are built in parallel:
```console

```
For Perl, at least for me, using `make -j16` versus `spack -e . install -j16` speeds up the builds from 3m32.623s to 2m22.775s, as some configure scripts run in parallel.
Another nice feature is you can do Makefile "metaprogramming" and depend on packages built by Spack. This example fetches all sources (in parallel) first, print a message, and only then build packages (in parallel).
```Makefile
SPACK ?= spack
.PHONY: env

spack.lock: spack.yaml
$(SPACK) -e . concretize -f
env.mk: spack.lock
$(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix spack

@echo Fetched all packages && touch $@

@echo This executes after the environment has been installed
clean:
rm -rf spack/ env.mk spack.lock
ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))

endif
```
* ASP-based solver: allow configuring target selection
This commit adds a new "concretizer:targets" configuration
section, and two options under it.
- "concretizer:targets:granularity" allows switching from
considering only generic targets to consider all possible
microarchitectures.
- "concretizer:targets:host_compatible" instead controls
whether we can concretize for microarchitectures that
are incompatible with the current host.
* Add documentation
* Add unit-tests
* Ignore top-level module config; add auto-update
In Spack 0.17 we got module sets (modules:[name]:[prop]), and for
backwards compat modules:[prop] was short for modules:default:[prop].
But this makes it awkward to define default config for the "default"
module set.
Since 0.17 is branched off, we can now deprecate top-level module config
(that is, just ignore it with a warning).
This PR does that, and it implements `spack config update modules` to
make upgrading easy (we should have added that to 0.17 already...)
It also removes references to `dotkit` stuff which was already
deprecated in 0.13 and could have been removed in 0.14.
Prefix inspections are the only exception, since the top-level prefix inspections
used for `spack load` and `spack env activate`.
* Extract the MetaPathFinder and Loaders for packages in their own classes
https://peps.python.org/pep-0451/
Currently, RepoPath and Repo implement the (deprecated) interface of
MetaPathFinder (find_module) and of Loader (load_module). This commit
extracts both of them and places the code in their own classes.
The MetaPathFinder interface is updated to contain both the deprecated
"find_module" (for Python 2.7 support) and the recommended "find_spec".
Update of the Loader interface is deferred at a subsequent commit.
* Move the lines to be prepended inside "RepoLoader"
Also adjust the naming of a few variables too
* Remove spack.util.imp, since code is only used in spack.repo
* Remove support from loading Python modules Python > 3 but < 3.5
* Remove `Repo._create_namespace`
This function was interacting badly with the MetaPathFinder
and causing issues with "normal" imports. Removing the
function allows to do things like:
```python
import spack.pkg.builtin.mpich
cls = spack.pkg.builtin.mpich.Mpich
```
* Remove code needed to trigger the Singleton evaluation
The finder is coded in a way to trigger the Singleton,
so we don't need external code now that we register it
at module level into `sys.meta_path`.
* Add unit tests
Allow declaring possible values for variants with an associated condition. If the variant takes one of those values, the condition is imposed as a further constraint.
The idea of this PR is to implement part of the mechanisms needed for modeling [packages with multiple build-systems]( https://github.com/spack/seps/pull/3). After this PR the build-system directive can be implemented as:
```python
variant(
'build-system',
default='cmake',
values=(
'autotools',
conditional('cmake', when='@X.Y:')
),
description='...',
)
```
Modifications:
- [x] Allow conditional possible values in variants
- [x] Add a unit-test for the feature
- [x] Add documentation
- 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.
* cmake: use CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH
Spack has a heuristic to add rpaths for packages it knows are required,
but it's really a heuristic, and it does not work when the dependencies
put their libraries in a different folder than `<prefix>/lib{64,}`.
CMake patches binaries after install with the "install rpaths", which by
default are provided by Spack and its heuristic through
`CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`.
CMake however knows better what libraries are effectively being linked
to, and has an option to include those in the install rpath too, through
`CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH`.
These two CMake options are complementary, repeated rpaths seem to be
filtered, and the "use link path" paths are appended to Spack's
heuristic "install rpath".
So, it seems like a good idea to enable "use link path" by default, so
that:
- `dlopen` by library name uses Spack's heuristic search paths
- linked libraries in non-standard locations within a prefix get an
rpath thanks to CMake.
