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

* Refactor platform etc. to avoid circular dependencies
All the base classes in spack.architecture have been
moved to the corresponding specialized subpackages,
e.g. Platform is now defined within spack.platforms.
This resolves a circular dependency where spack.architecture
was both:
- Defining the base classes for spack.platforms, etc.
- Collecting derived classes from spack.platforms, etc.
Now it dopes only the latter.
* Move a few platform related functions to "spack.platforms"
* Removed spack.architecture.sys_type()
* Fixup for docs
* Rename Python modules according to review
* 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
The output order for `spack diff` is nondeterministic for larger diffs -- if you
ran it several times it will not put the fields in the spec in the same order on
successive invocations.
This makes a few fixes to `spack diff`:
- [x] Implement the change discussed in https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/22283#discussion_r598337448
to make `AspFunction` comparable in and of itself and to eliminate the need for `to_tuple()`
- [x] Sort the lists of diff properties so that the output is always in the same order.
- [x] Make the output for different fields the same as what we use in the solver. Previously, we
would use `Type(value)` for non-string values and `value` for strings. Now we just use
the value. So the output looks a little cleaner:
```

I suppose if we want to use `repr()` in the output we could do that and could be
consistent but we don't do that elsewhere -- the types of things in Specs are
all stringifiable so the string and the name of the attribute (`version`, `node_os`,
etc.) are sufficient to know what they are.
A `spack diff` will take two specs, and then use the spack.solver.asp.SpackSolverSetup to generate
lists of facts about each (e.g., nodes, variants, etc.) and then take a set difference between the
two to show the user the differences.

Currently this uses diff-like output but we will attempt to improve on this in the future.
One use case for `spack diff` is whenever a user has a disambiguate situation and cannot
remember how two different installs are different. The command can also output `--json` in
the case of a more analysis type use case where we want to save complete data with all
diffs and the intersection. However, the command is really more intended for a command
line use case, and we likely will have an analyzer more suited to saving data

This uses our bootstrapping logic to automatically install dependencies for
`spack style`. Users should no longer have to pre-install all of the tools
(`isort`, `mypy`, `black`, `flake8`). The command will do it for them.
- [x] add logic to bootstrap specs with specific version requirements in `spack style`
- [x] remove style tools from CI requirements (to ensure we test bootstrapping)
- [x] rework dependencies for `mypy` and `py-typed-ast`
- `py-typed-ast` needs to be a link dependency
- it needs to be at 1.4.1 or higher to work with python 3.9

015e29efe1 that introduced this section to the
documentation said “two” here instead of the actual count, three.
9f54cea5c5 then added a fourth, BLAS/LAPACK.
Rather than trying to keep this leading count in sync, this change just replaces
the wording with something more generic/stable.
* fix remaining flake8 errors
* imports: sort imports everywhere in Spack
We enabled import order checking in #23947, but fixing things manually drives
people crazy. This used `spack style --fix --all` from #24071 to automatically
sort everything in Spack so PR submitters won't have to deal with it.
This should go in after #24071, as it assumes we're using `isort`, not
`flake8-import-order` to order things. `isort` seems to be more flexible and
allows `llnl` mports to be in their own group before `spack` ones, so this
seems like a good switch.
This PR adds a context manager that permit to group the common part of a `when=` argument and add that to the context:
```python
class Gcc(AutotoolsPackage):
with when('+nvptx'):
depends_on('cuda')
conflicts('@:6', msg='NVPTX only supported in gcc 7 and above')
conflicts('languages=ada')
conflicts('languages=brig')
conflicts('languages=go')
```
The above snippet is equivalent to:
```python
class Gcc(AutotoolsPackage):
depends_on('cuda', when='+nvptx')
conflicts('@:6', when='+nvptx', msg='NVPTX only supported in gcc 7 and above')
conflicts('languages=ada', when='+nvptx')
conflicts('languages=brig', when='+nvptx')
conflicts('languages=go', when='+nvptx')
```
which needs a repetition of the `when='+nvptx'` argument. The context manager might help improving readability and permits to group together directives related to the same semantic aspect (e.g. all the directives needed to model the behavior of `gcc` when `+nvptx` is active).
Modifications:
- [x] Added a `when` context manager to be used with package directives
- [x] Add unit tests and documentation for the new feature
- [x] Modified `cp2k` and `gcc` to show the use of the context manager
Spack packages can now fetch versions from CVS repositories. Note
this fetch mechanism is unsafe unless using :extssh:. Most public
CVS repositories use an insecure protocol implemented as part of CVS.
Add a new "spack audit" command. This command can check for issues
with configuration or with packages and is intended to help a
user debug a failed Spack build.
In some cases the reported issues are always errors but are too
costly to check for (e.g. packages that specify missing variants on
dependencies). In other cases the issues may be legitimate but
uncommon usage of Spack and we want to be sure the user intended the
behavior (e.g. duplicate compiler definitions).
Audits are grouped by theme, and for now the two themes are packages
and configuration. For example you can run all available audits
on packages with "spack audit packages". It is intended that in
the future users will be able to define their own audits.
The package audits are good candidates for running in package_sanity
(i.e. they could catch bugs in user-submitted packages before they
are merged) but that is left for a later PR.
This should get us most of the way there to support using monitor during a spack container build, for both Singularity and Docker. Some quick notes:
### Docker
Docker works by way of BUILDKIT and being able to specify --secret. What this means is that you can prefix a line with a mount of type secret as follows:
```bash
# Install the software, remove unnecessary deps
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=su --mount=type=secret,id=st cd /opt/spack-environment && spack env activate . && export SPACKMON_USER=$(cat /run/secrets/su) && export SPACKMON_TOKEN=$(cat /run/secrets/st) && spack install --monitor --fail-fast && spack gc -y
```
Where the id for one or more secrets corresponds to the file mounted at `/run/secrets/<name>`. So, for example, to build this container with su (spackmon user) and sv (spackmon token) defined I would export them on my host and do:
```bash
$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --network="host" --secret id=st,env=SPACKMON_TOKEN --secret id=su,env=SPACKMON_USER -t spack/container .
```
And when we add `env` to the secret definition that tells the build to look for the secret with id "st" in the environment variable `SPACKMON_TOKEN` for example.
If the user is building locally with a local spack monitor, we also need to set the `--network` to be the host, otherwise you can't connect to it (a la isolation of course.)
## Singularity
Singularity doesn't have as nice an ability to clearly specify secrets, so (hoping this eventually gets implemented) what I'm doing now is providing the user instructions to write the credentials to a file, add it to the container to source, and remove when done.
## Tags
Note that the tags PR https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/23712 will need to be merged before `--monitor-tags` will actually work because I'm checking for the attribute (that doesn't exist yet):
```bash
"tags": getattr(args, "monitor_tags", None)
```
So when that PR is merged to update the argument group, it will work here, and I can either update the PR here to not check if the attribute is there (it will be) or open another one in the case this PR is already merged.
Finally, I added a bunch of documetation for how to use monitor with containerize. I say "mostly working" because I can't do a full test run with this new version until the container base is built with the updated spack (the request to the monitor server for an env install was missing so I had to add it here).

Currently, module configurations are inconsistent because modulefiles are generated with the configs for the active environment, but are shared among all environments (and spack outside any environment).
This PR fixes that by allowing Spack environments (or other spack config scopes) to define additional sets of modules to generate. Each set of modules can enable either lmod or tcl modules, and contains all of the previously available module configuration. The user defines the name of each module set -- the set configured in Spack by default is named "default", and is the one returned by module manipulation commands in the absence of user intervention.
As part of this change, the module roots configuration moved from the config section to inside each module configuration.
Additionally, it adds a feature that the modulefiles for an environment can be configured to be relative to an environment view rather than the underlying prefix. This will not be enabled by default, as it should only be enabled within an environment and for non-default views constructed with separate projections per-spec.
### Overview
The goal of this PR is to make gitlab pipeline builds (especially build failures) more reproducible outside of the pipeline environment. The two key changes here which aim to improve reproducibility are:
1. Produce a `spack.lock` during pipeline generation which is passed to child jobs via artifacts. This concretized environment is used both by generated child jobs as well as uploaded as an artifact to be used when reproducing the build locally.
2. In the `spack ci rebuild` command, if a spec needs to be rebuilt from source, do this by generating and running an `install.sh` shell script which is then also uploaded as a job artifact to be run during local reproduction.
To make it easier to take advantage of improved build reproducibility, this PR also adds a new subcommand, `spack ci reproduce-build`, which, given a url to job artifacts:
- fetches and unzips the job artifacts to a local directory
- looks for the generated pipeline yaml and parses it to find details about the job to reproduce
- attempts to provide a copy of the same version of spack used in the ci build
- if the ci build used a docker image, the command prints a `docker run` command you can run to get an interactive shell for reproducing the build
#### Some highlights
One consequence of this change will be much smaller pipeline yaml files. By encoding the concrete environment in a `spack.lock` and passing to child jobs via artifacts, we will no longer need to encode the concrete root of each spec and write it into the job variables, greatly reducing the size of the generated pipeline yaml.
Additionally `spack ci rebuild` output (stdout/stderr) is no longer internally redirected to a log file, so job output will appear directly in the gitlab job trace. With debug logging turned on, this often results in log files getting truncated because they exceed the maximum amount of log output gitlab allows. If this is a problem, you still have the option to `tee` command output to a file in the within the artifacts directory, as now each generated job exposes a `user_data` directory as an artifact, which you can fill with whatever you want in your custom job scripts.
There are some changes to be aware of in how pipelines should be set up after this PR:
#### Pipeline generation
Because the pipeline generation job now writes a `spack.lock` artifact to be consumed by generated downstream jobs, `spack ci generate` takes a new option `--artifacts-root`, inside which it creates a `concrete_env` directory to place the lockfile. This artifacts root directory is also where the `user_data` directory will live, in case you want to generate any custom artifacts. If you do not provide `--artifacts-root`, the default is for it to create a `jobs_scratch_dir` within your `CI_PROJECT_DIR` (a gitlab predefined environment variable) or whatever is your current working directory if that variable isn't set. Here's the diff of the PR testing `.gitlab-ci.yml` taking advantage of the new option:
```

```
Notice how we replaced the specific pointer to the generated pipeline file with its containing folder, the same folder we passed as `--artifacts-root`. This way anything in that directory (the generated pipeline yaml, as well as the concrete environment directory containing the `spack.lock`) will be uploaded as an artifact and available to the downstream jobs.
#### Rebuild jobs
Rebuild jobs now must activate the concrete environment created by `spack ci generate` and provided via artifacts. When the pipeline is generated, a directory called `concrete_environment` is created within the artifacts root directory, and this is where the `spack.lock` file is written to be passed to the generated rebuild jobs. The artifacts root directory can be specified using the `--artifacts-root` option to `spack ci generate`, otherwise, it is assumed to be `$CI_PROJECT_DIR`. The directory containing the concrete environment files (`spack.yaml` and `spack.lock`) is then passed to generated child jobs via the `SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR` variable in the generated pipeline yaml file.
When you don't provide custom `script` sections in your `mappings` within the `gitlab-ci` section of your `spack.yaml`, the default behavior of rebuild jobs is now to change into `SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR` and activate that environment. If you do provide custom rebuild scripts in your `spack.yaml`, be aware those scripts should do the same thing: assume `SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR` contains the concretized environment to activate. No other changes to existing custom rebuild scripts should be required as a result of this PR.
As mentioned above, one key change made in this PR is the generation of the `install.sh` script by the rebuild jobs, as that same script is both run by the CI rebuild job as well as exported as an artifact to aid in subsequent attempts to reproduce the build outside of CI. The generated `install.sh` script contains only a single `spack install` command with arguments computed by `spack ci rebuild`. If the install fails, the job trace in gitlab will contain instructions on how to reproduce the build locally:
```
To reproduce this build locally, run:
spack ci reproduce-build https://gitlab.next.spack.io/api/v4/projects/7/jobs/240607/artifacts [--working-dir <dir>]
If this project does not have public pipelines, you will need to first:
export GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN=<generated_token>
... then follow the printed instructions.
```
When run locally, the `spack ci reproduce-build` command shown above will download and process the job artifacts from gitlab, then print out instructions you can copy-paste to run a local reproducer of the CI job.
This PR includes a few other changes to the way pipelines work, see the documentation on pipelines for more details.

Bash has a builtin `fc` that will override the compiler if you use "fc",
so it's better to use the full spack-supplied compiler path.
Additionally, the filter regex in the docs was wrong: it replaced the
entire assignment operation with the RHS.
* Modification to R environment
This PR modifies how the R environmnet is presented, and fixes
installing the standalone Rmath library.
- The Rmath build and install methods are combined into one
- Set parallel=False when installing Rmath
- remove the run environment that set up variables for libraries and
headers that are not really needed, and pollute the environment.
* Add setup_run_environment back
- Add back the setup_run_environment with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
- Adjust documentation to reflect the current code.
There have been a lot of questions and some confusion recently surrounding Spack installation test capabilities so this PR is intended to clean up and refine the documentation for "Checking an installation".
It aims to better distinguish between checks that are performed during an installation (i.e., build-time tests) and those that can be done days and weeks after the software has been installed (i.e., install (or smoke) tests).
In an active concretize environment, support installing one or more
cli specs only if they are already present in the environment. The
`--no-add` option is the default for root specs, but optional for
dependency specs. I.e. if you `spack install <depspec>` in an
environment, the dependency-only spec `depspec` will be added as a
root of the environment before being installed. In addition,
`spack install --no-add <spec>` fails if it does not find an
unambiguous match for `spec`.
This is as much a question as it is a minor fine-tuning of the docs. I've been known to add things to an environment by editing the `spack.yaml` file directly. When I read the previous version of this sentence, I was afraid that `spack add` was actually doing *two* things, modifying the `spack.yaml` and updating something else that defined the roots of the Environment. A bit of experimentation suggests that editing the `spack.yaml` file is sufficient to change the roots.

This provides initial support for [spack monitor](https://github.com/spack/spack-monitor), a web application that stores information and analysis about Spack installations. Spack can now contact a monitor server and upload analysis -- even after a build is already done.
Specifically, this adds:
- [x] monitor options for `spack install`
- [x] `spack analyze` command
- [x] hook architecture for analyzers
- [x] separate build logs (in addition to the existing combined log)
- [x] docs for spack analyze
- [x] reworked developer docs, with hook docs
- [x] analyzers for:
- [x] config args
- [x] environment variables
- [x] installed files
- [x] libabigail
There is a lot more information in the docs contained in this PR, so consult those for full details on this feature.
Additional tests will be added in a future PR.
* Clarify stub compiler definition in compilers.yaml
* Update explanation of why stub compiler definition is needed
* Add note about required module definition when using Spack-installed
intel-parallel-studio as intel-compiler
* Add suggestion about updating package config preferences based on
choice of variants when installing intel-parallel-studio to avoid
reinstallation
- Use debugoptimized as default build type, just like RelWithDebInfo for cmake
- Do not strip by default, and add a default_library variant which conveniently support both shared and static
* Make -j flag less exceptional
The -j flag in spack behaves differently from make, ctest, ninja, etc,
because it caps the number of jobs to an arbitrary number 16.
Spack will behave like other tools if `spack install` uses a reasonable
default, and `spack install -j <num>` *overrides* that default.
This will be particularly useful for Spack usage outside of a traditional
HPC context and for HPC centers that encourage users to compile on
login nodes with many cores instead of on compute nodes, which has
become increasingly common as individual nodes have more cores.
This maintains the existing default value of min(num_cpus, 16). However,
as it is right now, Spack does a poor job at determining the number of
cpus on linux, since it doesn't take cgroups into account. This is
particularly problematic when using distributed builds with slurm. This PR
also introduces `spack.util.cpus.cpus_available()` to consolidate
knowledge on determining the number of available cores, and improves
core detection for linux. This should also improve core detection for Docker/
Kubernetes, which also use cgroups.
* Replace URL computation in base IntelOneApiPackage class with
defining URLs in component packages (this is expected to be
simpler for now)
* Add component_dir property that all oneAPI component packages must
define. This property names a directory that should exist after
installation completes (useful for making sure the install was
successful) and also defines the search location for the
component's environment update script.
* Add needed dependencies for components (e.g. intel-oneapi-dnn
requires intel-oneapi-tbb). The compilers provided by
intel-oneapi-compilers need some components under certain
circumstances (e.g. when enabling SYCL support) but these were
omitted since the libraries should only be linked when a
dependent package requests that feature
* Remove individual setup_run_environment implementations and use
IntelOneApiPackage superclass method which sources vars.sh

Pipelines: DAG pruning
During the pipeline generation staging process we check each spec against all configured mirrors to determine whether it is up to date on any of the mirrors. By default, and with the --prune-dag argument to "spack ci generate", any spec already up to date on at least one remote mirror is omitted from the generated pipeline. To generate jobs for up to date specs instead of omitting them, use the --no-prune-dag argument. To speed up the pipeline generation process, pass the --check-index-only argument. This will cause spack to check only remote buildcache indices and avoid directly fetching any spec.yaml files from mirrors. The drawback is that if the remote buildcache index is out of date, spec rebuild jobs may be scheduled unnecessarily.
This change removes the final-stage-rebuild-index block from gitlab-ci section of spack.yaml. Now rebuilding the buildcache index of the mirror specified in the spack.yaml is the default, unless "rebuild-index: False" is set. Spack assigns the generated rebuild-index job runner attributes from an optional new "service-job-attributes" block, which is also used as the source of runner attributes for another generated non-build job, a no-op job, which spack generates to avoid gitlab errors when DAG pruning results in empty pipelines.
The SPACK_PYTHON environment variable can be set to a python interpreter to be
used by the spack command. This allows the spack command itself to use a
consistent and separate interpreter from whatever python might be used for package
building.
* Procedure to deprecate old versions of software
* Add documentation
* Fix bug in logic
* Update tab completion
* Deprecate legacy packages
* Deprecate old mxnet as well
* More explicit docs
This adds a -i option to "spack python" which allows use of the
IPython interpreter; it can be used with "spack python -i ipython".
This assumes it is available in the Python instance used to run
Spack (i.e. that you can "import IPython").
- [x] add `concretize.lp`, `spack.yaml`, etc. to licensed files
- [x] update all licensed files to say 2013-2021 using
`spack license update-copyright-year`
- [x] appease mypy with some additions to package.py that needed
for oneapi.py
I lost my mind a bit after getting the completion stuff working and
decided to get Mypy working for spack as well. This adds a
`.mypy.ini` that checks all of the spack and llnl modules, though
not yet packages, and fixes all of the identified missing types and
type issues for the spack library.
In addition to these changes, this includes:
* rename `spack flake8` to `spack style`
Aliases flake8 to style, and just runs flake8 as before, but with
a warning. The style command runs both `flake8` and `mypy`,
in sequence. Added --no-<tool> options to turn off one or the
other, they are on by default. Fixed two issues caught by the tools.
* stub typing module for python2.x
We don't support typing in Spack for python 2.x. To allow 2.x to
support `import typing` and `from typing import ...` without a
try/except dance to support old versions, this adds a stub module
*just* for python 2.x. Doing it this way means we can only reliably
use all type hints in python3.7+, and mypi.ini has been updated to
reflect that.
* add non-default black check to spack style
This is a first step to requiring black. It doesn't enforce it by
default, but it will check it if requested. Currently enforcing the
line length of 79 since that's what flake8 requires, but it's a bit odd
for a black formatted project to be quite that narrow. All settings are
in the style command since spack has no pyproject.toml and I don't
want to add one until more discussion happens. Also re-format
`style.py` since it no longer passed the black style check
with the new length.
* use style check in github action
Update the style and docs action to use `spack style`, adding in mypy
and black to the action even if it isn't running black right now.
This adds a new `mark` command that can be used to mark packages as either
explicitly or implicitly installed. Apart from fixing the package
database after installing a dependency manually, it can be used to
implement upgrade workflows as outlined in #13385.
The following commands demonstrate how the `mark` and `gc` commands can be
used to only keep the current version of a package installed:
```console
$ spack install pkgA
$ spack install pkgB
$ git pull # Imagine new versions for pkgA and/or pkgB are introduced
$ spack mark -i -a
$ spack install pkgA
$ spack install pkgB
$ spack gc
```
If there is no new version for a package, `install` will simply mark it as
explicitly installed and `gc` will not remove it.

Users can add test() methods to their packages to run smoke tests on
installations with the new `spack test` command (the old `spack test` is
now `spack unit-test`). spack test is environment-aware, so you can
`spack install` an environment and then run `spack test run` to run smoke
tests on all of its packages. Historical test logs can be perused with
`spack test results`. Generic smoke tests for MPI implementations, C,
C++, and Fortran compilers as well as specific smoke tests for 18
packages.
Inside the test method, individual tests can be run separately (and
continue to run best-effort after a test failure) using the `run_test`
method. The `run_test` method encapsulates finding test executables,
running and checking return codes, checking output, and error handling.
This handles the following trickier aspects of testing with direct
support in Spack's package API:
- [x] Caching source or intermediate build files at build time for
use at test time.
- [x] Test dependencies,
- [x] packages that require a compiler for testing (such as library only
packages).
See the packaging guide for more details on using Spack testing support.
Included is support for package.py files for virtual packages. This does
not change the Spack interface, but is a major change in internals.

As of #18260, `spack load` and `spack env activate` now use
`prefix_inspections` from the modules configuration to decide
how to modify environment variables.
This updates the modules configuration documentation to describe
how to update environment variables with the `prefix_inspections`
section. This also updates the `spack load` and environments
documentation to refer to the new `prefix_inspections` documentation.
This PR reworks a few attributes in the container subsection of
spack.yaml to permit the injection of custom base images when
generating containers with Spack. In more detail, users can still
specify the base operating system and Spack version they want to use:
spack:
container:
images:
os: ubuntu:18.04
spack: develop
in which case the generated recipe will use one of the Spack images
built on Docker Hub for the build stage and the base OS image in the
final stage. Alternatively, they can specify explicitly the two
base images:
spack:
container:
images:
build: spack/ubuntu-bionic:latest
final: ubuntu:18.04
and it will be up to them to ensure their consistency.
Additional changes:
* This commit adds documentation on the two approaches.
* Users can now specify OS packages to install (e.g. with apt or yum)
prior to the build (previously this was only available for the
finalized image).
* Handles to avoid an update of the available system packages have been
added to the configuration to facilitate the generation of recipes
permitting deterministic builds.
As of #13100, Spack installs the dependencies of a _single_ spec in parallel.
Environments, when installed, can only get parallelism from each individual
spec, as they're installed in order. This PR makes entire environments build
in parallel by extending Spack's package installer to accept multiple root
specs. The install command and Environment class have been updated to use
the new parallel install method.
The specs and kwargs for each *uninstalled* package (when not force-replacing
installations) of an environment are collected, passed to the `PackageInstaller`,
and processed using a single build queue.
This introduces a `BuildRequest` class to track install arguments, and it
significantly cleans up the code used to track package ids during installation.
Package ids in the build queue are now just DAG hashes as you would expect,
Other tasks:
- [x] Finish updating the unit tests based on `PackageInstaller`'s use of
`BuildRequest` and the associated changes
- [x] Change `environment.py`'s `install_all` to use the `PackageInstaller` directly
- [x] Change the `install` command to leverage the new installation process for multiple specs
- [x] Change install output messages for external packages, e.g.:
`[+] /usr` -> `[+] /usr (external bzip2-1.0.8-<dag-hash>`
- [x] Fix incomplete environment install's view setup/update and not confirming all
packages are installed (?)
- [x] Ensure externally installed package dependencies are properly accounted for in
remaining build tasks
- [x] Add tests for coverage (if insufficient and can identity the appropriate, uncovered non-comment lines)
- [x] Add documentation
- [x] Resolve multi-compiler environment install issues
- [x] Fix issue with environment installation reporting (restore CDash/JUnit reports)
Previously, we hardcoded a list of Spack versions which could be used by the containerize command.
This PR removes that list. It's a maintenance burden when cutting a release, and prevents older versions of Spack from creating containers to be used by newer versions.

Shell integration no longer requires setting `SPACK_ROOT`, so we can
simplify the documentation on it. The docs on shell support and using
packages are getting a bit old, and information on `spack load` (which
seems to be everyone's most common way of using packages) is hard to
find.
This PR simplifies the shell documentation to remove SPACK_ROOT, and also
moves some sections around for clearer organization.
- [x] make docs on sourcing setup scripts clearer and simpler
- [x] introduce `spack load` early in the basic usage guide instead of
burying it in the module docs
- [x] clean up module docs so that spack module tcl loads comes later
- [x] be clear about the different ways to use packages so that the users
can find the docs better.

The package list at https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/package_list.html claims "it is automatically generated based on the packages in the latest Spack release" but it is actually based on the develop branch. This leads to confusion when users find that e.g. herwigpp is included in the list, but it cannot be found when they install the latest release. That latest release has a package list at https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package_list.html which does indeed not include herwigpp.
Changing the language from "the latest Spack release" to "this Spack version" might make that clearer. Maybe.
Update pipelines documentation to describe how 'tags', 'variables',
'image', 'before_script', 'script', and 'after_script' can be
supplied at the top level, to be used by any of the runner mappings,
and also overridden by any of the runner mappings.
Also show an example of capturing the custom spack SHA at pipeline
generation time, so all jobs are sure to run with the same version
of spack, as a means to illustrate the $env:VARIABLE_NAME syntax.
I know that it's just an example, but I was trying to figure out what was going on and it wasn't making sense....
`tput sgr0` resets the terminal state (http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_adv_tput.php) and I can't see any reason to do it twice. Deleting the second occurrence doesn't seem to break the fancy prompt effect.
Packages can implement “detect_version” to support detection
of external instances of a package. This is generally easier
than implementing “determine_spec_details”. The API for
determine_version is similar: for example you can return
“None” to indicate that an executable is not an instance
of a package.
Users may implement a “determine_variants” method for a package.
When doing external detection, executables are grouped by version
and each group results in a single invocation of “determine_variants”
for the associated spec. The method returns a string specifying
the variants for the package. The method may additionally return
a dictionary representing extra attributes for the package.
These will be stored in the spec yaml and can be retrieved
from self.spec.extra_attributes
The Spack GCC package has been updated with an implementation
of “determine_variants” which adds the following extra
attributes to the package: c, cxx, fortran
The YAML config for paths and modules of external packages has
changed: the new format allows a single spec to load multiple
modules. Spack will automatically convert from the old format
when reading the configs (the updates do not add new essential
properties, so this change in Spack is backwards-compatible).
With this update, Spack cannot modify existing configs/environments
without updating them (e.g. “spack config add” will fail if the
configuration is in a format that predates this PR). The user is
prompted to do this explicitly and commands are provided. All
config scopes can be updated at once. Each environment must be
updated one at a time.

We got rid of `master` after #17377, but users still want a way to get
the latest stable release without knowing its number.
We've added a `releases/latest` tag to replace what was once `master`.

This change also adds a code path through the spack ci pipelines
infrastructure which supports PR testing on the Spack repository.
Gitlab pipelines run as a result of a PR (either creation or pushing
to a PR branch) will only verify that the packages in the environment
build without error. When the PR branch is merged to develop,
another pipeline will run which results in the generated binaries
getting pushed to the binary mirror.
Packages built with lmod core_compiler are placed in `Core`.
Other packages may belong in `Core`. For example, python may be built with a proprietary compiler for performance, but belong on the `Core` directory.
With this PR, lmod config can include a `core_specs` list. Any package that satisfies a spec in that list is placed in `Core`, regardless of its compiler or dependencies.
This improves the documentation for `spack external find` in several ways:
* Provide a code example of implementing `determine_spec_details` for a package
* Explain how to define executables to look for (and also e.g. that they are treated as regular expressions and so can pull in unexpected files).
* Add the "why" for a couple of constraints (i.e. explain that this logic only works for build/run deps because it examines `PATH` for executables)
* Spread the docs between build customization and packaging sections
* Add cross-references
* Add a label so that `spack external find` is linked from the command reference.
