* extend Version class so that 2.0 > 1.develop > 1.1
* add concretization tests, with preferences and preferred version.
* add master, head, trunk as develop-like versions, develop > master > head > trunk
* update documentation on version comparison
#11152 added documentation for #8772 but some details were based on
an earlier implementation that had changed by the time #8772 was
merged. In particular, #11152 mentioned that upstream Spack instances
were configured in config.yaml, when in fact they should be placed in
a separate upstreams.yaml config file; this PR updates the
documentation accordingly.
* Update spec format to simpler syntax, maintain backwards compatibility
* Switch to new spec.format method throughout internals
* update package files for new format strings
* documentation and minor code cleanup. removed nonsensical variant sigils
- add CombinatorialSpecSet in spack.util.spec_set module.
- class is iterable and encaspulated YAML parsing and validation.
- Adjust YAML format to be more generic
- YAML spec-set format now has a `matrix` section, which can contain
multiple lists of specs, generated different ways. Including:
- specs: a raw list of specs.
- packages: a list of package names and versions
- compilers: a list of compiler names and versions
- All of the elements of `matrix` are dimensions for the build matrix;
we take the cartesian product of these lists of specs to generate a
build matrix. This means we can add things like [^mpich, ^openmpi]
to get builds with different MPI versions. It also means we can
multiply the build matrix out with lots of different parameters.
- Add a schema format for spec-sets
* Note that `none` is the default for lmod autoload
Save a bit of confusion by *explicitly* pointing out that `none` is
the default value for autoload in the lmod module file generator.
* Add a tip re building software externally
Add a tip about using `autoload: all` when building packages outside
of the tree that use artifacts (e.g. libraries, includes) within the
tree.
Allow customizing views with Spec-formatted directory structure
Allow views to specify projections that are more complicated than
merging every package into a single shared prefix. This will allow
sites to configure a view for the way they want to present packages
to their users; for example this can be used to create a prefix for
each package but omit the DAG hash from the path.
This includes a new YAML format file for specifying the simplified
prefix for a spec in a view. This configuration allows the use of
different prefix formats for different specs (i.e. specs depending
on MPI can include the MPI implementation in the prefix).
Documentation on usage of the view projection configuration is
included.
Depending on the projection configuration, paths are not guaranteed
to be unique and it may not be possible to add multiple installs of
a package to a view.
This enforces conventions that allow for correct handling of
multi-valued variants where specifying no value is an option,
and adds convenience functionality for specifying multi-valued
variants with conflicting sets of values. This also adds a notion
of "feature values" for variants, which are those that are understood
by the build system (e.g. those that would appear as configure
options). In more detail:
* Add documentation on variants to the packaging guide
* Forbid usage of '' or None as a possible variant value, in
particular as a default. To indicate choosing no value, the user
must explicitly define an option like 'none'. Without this,
multi-valued variants with default set to None were not parsable
from the command line (Fixes#6314)
* Add "disjoint_sets" function to support the declaration of
multi-valued variants with conflicting sets of options. For example
a variant "foo" with possible values "a", "b", and "c" where "c"
is exclusive of the other values ("foo=a,b" and "foo=c" are
valid but "foo=a,c" is not).
* Add "any_combination_of" function to support the declaration of
multi-valued variants where it is valid to choose none of the
values. This automatically defines "none" as an option (exclusive
with all other choices); this value does not appear when iterating
over the variant's values, for example in "with_or_without" (which
constructs autotools option strings from variant values).
* The "disjoint_sets" and "any_combination_of" methods return an
object which tracks the possible values. It is also possible to
indicate that some of these values do not correspond to options
understood by the package's build system, such that methods like
"with_or_without" will not define options for those values (this
occurs automatically for "none")
* Add documentation for usage of new functions for specifying
multi-valued variants
- currently just looks at patches
- allows you to find out which package applied a patch to a spec
- intended to work with tarballs and resources in the future.
- add tab completion for `spack resource` and subcommands
* Remove /nfs/tmp2 from default configuration
* /nfs/tmp2 is going away from LC... and doesn’t exist for the rest of the world.
* update documentation to remove /nfs/tmp2 as well
* "spack install" now uses cache by default, update examples accordingly
* Replace some example packages with others
* Packing tutorial reference to "spack env" replaced with "spack build-env"
* Command line prompts in examples are shortened
* Example output (including paths) are updated to be more relevant to training environment
Update all examples that need an MPI provider to build with MPICH; reorganize so that fixing MPICH (as part of environment section) comes first in the tutorial (most examples in the tutorial use an MPI provider).
* Update Makefile to use property methods ("build_targets"/"install_targets")
to demonstrate their usage
* Fix highlighting
* Change cbench example to ESMF:
CBench package file was changed and no longer uses the example shown in
the old docs
Scopes added with -C are now referred to as "custom scopes"
rather than "command line scopes". "command line scope" now refers
to specific config options that are set on the command line (like
"--insecure")
- `spack.util.environment` is the new home for routines that modify
environment variables.
- This is to make room for `spack.environment` to contain new routines
for dealing with spack environments
* modified tutorial packages
* update hint in hdf5 tutorial file (typo for suggested argument)
* add repo.yaml to tutorial repository
* update tutorial docs to refer user to tutorial package repository

* recommend site scope vs. defaults
* you don't specify the repo's name when adding a repo, just the path
* Unite Dockerfiles - add build/run/push scripts
* update docker documentation
* update .travis.yml
* switch to using a preprocessor on Dockerfiles
* skip building docker images on pull requests
* update files with copyright info
* tweak when travis builds for docker files are done
- 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
compilers.yaml can track a module that is needed for a compiler, but
Spack does not fill this in automatically. This adds a note to the
documentation informing the user how to do this.
Spack can now be configured to assign permissions to the files installed by a package.
In the `packages.yaml` file under `permissions`, the attributes `read`, `write`, and `group` control the package permissions. These attributes can be set per-package, or for all packages under `all`. If permissions are set under `all` and for a specific package, the package-specific settings take precedence. The `read` and `write` attributes take one of `user`, `group`, and `world`.
packages:
all:
permissions:
write: group
group: spack
my_app:
permissions:
read: group
group: my_team
* Push default flag handlers into module scope
* Preserve backwards compatibility of builtin flag handler names
Ensure Spack continues to work for packages using the `Package.env_flags` idiom and equivalent.
* update docs and tests to match
* Update packages to match new syntax
Consolidate prefix calculation logic for intel packages into the
IntelPackage class.
Add documentation on installing Intel packages with Spack an
(alternatively) adding them as external packages in Spack.
- Support for Python 3.3 isn't really needed, as nothing uses it as the
default system Python, and nearly everyone will have a newer Python 3
version installed.
* Branch with the meson build-system
* Fix build_environment for dual loads and add create code
* Add documentation
* Fixed option list
* Update build_system_guess for meson
* Fixed documentation errors
* Added meson to build and configure and updated documentation
* fix typos
As requested in the review all the commands meant to manage module
files have been grouped under the `spack module` command.
Unit tests have been refactored to match the new command structure.
