A few changes to tarball creation (for build caches):
- do not run file to distinguish binary from text
- file is slow, even when running it in a batched fashion -- it usually reads all bytes and has slow logic to categorize specific types
- we don't need a highly detailed file categorization; a crude categorization of elf, mach-o, text suffices.
detecting elf and mach-o is straightforward and cheap
- detecting utf-8 (and with that ascii) is highly accurate: false positive rate decays exponentially as file size increases. Further it's not only the most common encoding, but the most common file type in package prefixes.
iso-8859-1 is cheaply (but heuristically) detected too, and sufficiently accurate after binaries and utf-8 files are classified earlier
- remove file as a dependency of Spack in general, which makes Spack itself easier to install
- detect file type and need to relocate as part of creating the tarball, which is more cache friendly and thus faster
While the existing getting started guide does in fact reference the
powershell support, it's a footnote and easily missed. This PR adds
explicit, upfront mentions of the powershell support. Additionally
this PR adds notes about some of the issues with certain components
of the spec syntax when using CMD.
Remove support for `cray` as a separate platform.
Any platform previously detected as `cray` is now detected as `linux`.
Users who still need platform=cray have to stick to Spack 0.22
This creates shared infrastructure for compiler packages to implement the
detailed search capabilities from the `spack compiler find` command for the
`spack external find` command.
After this commit, `spack compiler find` can be replaced with
`spack external find --tag compiler`, with the exception of mixed toolchains.
Adds a pre-concretization check for the Windows SDK and WGL (Windows
GL) packages as non-buildable externals.
This is a redo of https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/43459, but makes
sure to modify the configuration scope outside of the bootstrap scope:
whichever is highest-precedence in the user's environment at the time
the concretization runs, which should either be an env scope or the
~ scope.
Adds pytest fixture mocking the check for WGL and WSDK as if they were
present.
On Windows, bootstrapping logic now searches for and adds the win-sdk
and wgl packages to the user's top scope as externals if they are not
present.
These packages are generally required to install most packages with
Spack on Windows, and are only available as externals, so it is
assumed that doing this automatically would be useful and avoid
a mandatory manual step for each new Spack instance.
Note this is the first case of bootstrapping logic modifying
configuration other than the bootstrap configuration.
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:`)
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

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.
* 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

Finally document what one needs to install to use Spack on
Linux and Mac :-)
With <3 for minimal container users and my colleagues with
their fancy Macs.

- build-essential: includes gcc, g++ (thx Cory)
- Python: add python3-venv, python3-distutils (thx Pradyun)
* Add RHEL8 Dependencies
* Incorporate new search location
* Add external user option
* proper doc string
* Explicit commands in getting started
* raise during chgrp on Win

* Loading Intel's ifx Fortran compiler into MSVC; if there are multiple
versions of MSVC installed and detected, ifx will only be placed into
the first block written in compilers.yaml. The version number of ifx can
be detected using MSVC's version flag (instead of /QV) by using
ignore_version_errors. This commit also provides support for detection
of Intel compilers in their own compiler block by adding ifx.exe to the
fc/f77_name blocks inside intel.py

Update Installer CI

When `spack compiler list` is run without being restricted to a
particular scope, and no compilers are found, say that none are
available, and hint that the use should run spack compiler find to
auto detect compilers.
* Improve docs
* Check if stdin is a tty
* add a test
* Isolate bootstrap configuration from user configuration
* Search for build dependencies automatically if bootstrapping from sources
The bootstrapping logic will search for build dependencies
automatically if bootstrapping anything form sources. Any
external spec, if found, is written in a scope that is specific
to bootstrapping.
* Don't clean the bootstrap store with "spack clean -a"
* Copy bootstrap.yaml and config.yaml in the bootstrap area
Git 2.24 introduced a feature flag for repositories with many files, see:
https://github.blog/2019-11-03-highlights-from-git-2-24/#feature-macros
Since Spack's Git repository contains roughly 8,500 files, it can be
worthwhile to enable this, especially on slow file systems such as NFS:
```
$ hyperfine --warmup 3 'cd spack-default; git status' 'cd spack-manyfiles; git status'
Benchmark #1: cd spack-default; git status
Time (mean ± σ): 3.388 s ± 0.095 s [User: 256.2 ms, System: 625.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 3.168 s … 3.535 s 10 runs
Benchmark #2: cd spack-manyfiles; git status
Time (mean ± σ): 168.7 ms ± 10.9 ms [User: 98.6 ms, System: 126.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 144.8 ms … 188.0 ms 19 runs
Summary
'cd spack-manyfiles; git status' ran
20.09 ± 1.42 times faster than 'cd spack-default; git status'
```
* Bootstrap clingo from binaries
* Move information on clingo binaries to a JSON file
* Add support to bootstrap on Cray
Bootstrapping on Cray requires, at the moment, to
swap the platform when looking for binaries - due
to #22800.
* Add SHA256 verification for bootstrapped software
Use sha256 verification for binaries necessary to bootstrap
the concretizer and gpg for signature verification
* patchelf: use Spec._old_concretize() to bootstrap
As noted in #24450 we may happen to need the
concretizer when bootstrapping clingo. In that case
only the old concretizer is available.
* Add a schema for bootstrapping methods
Two fields have been added to bootstrap.yaml:
"sources" which lists the methods available for
bootstrapping software
"trusted" which records if a source is trusted or not
A subcommand has been added to "spack bootstrap" to list
the sources currently available.
* Methods used for bootstrapping are configurable from bootstrap:sources
The function that tries to ensure a given Python module
is importable now tries bootstrapping methods in the same
order as they are defined in `bootstrap.yaml`
* Permit to trust/untrust bootstrapping methods
* Add binary tests for MacOS, Ubuntu
* Add documentation
* Add a note on bash
