Users can now list mirrors of the main url in packages.
- [x] Instead of just a single `url` attribute, users can provide a list (`urls`) in the package, and these will be tried by in order by the fetch strategy.
- [x] To handle one of the most common mirror cases, define a `GNUMirrorPackage` mixin to handle all the standard GNU mirrors. GNU packages can set `gnu_mirror_path` to define the path within a mirror, and the mixin handles setting up all the requisite GNU mirror URLs.
- [x] update all GNU packages in `builtin` to use the `GNUMirrorPackage` mixin.
* guile package: Handling the threads option.
Currently guile by default tries to compile its thread variant.
However, the threaded version can only be compiled if bdw-gc is
compiled with some threads support. Currently, the default
compilation of the bdw garbage collector is compiled without any
thread support resulting in a compilation error.
I have changed the the default guile compilation to the non-threaded
version. I have also added the appropiated options for the bdw-gc
compilation in case the user prefers the threaded variant.
* guile package(flake8): fixed identation issues
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
- 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
