Currently, when we setup the ASP problem for `clingo`, we don't take into account the configuration. This results in setting up ASP problems that are larger than necessary, with possibly redundant information, and higher concretization times.
This PR tries to improve things by adding an opt-in feature that computes the _possible dependencies_ of a solve taking also into account the current configuration, and avoids adding possible dependencies that we are certain can't be in the final solution.
The feature can be activated with:
```yaml
concretizer:
static_analysis: true
```
Examples of simple rules to discard dependencies are:
- Dependencies that are not buildable, and for which no binary is present (e.g. `cray-mpich` etc. on non Cray systems)
- Dependencies that are not for the current platform (e.g. `msmpi` on non Windows platforms)
- Conditional dependencies that cannot be activated, because of some user requirement (e.g. `cuda` etc. if the user requires `~cuda` in configuration)
- Virtual providers that cannot be used, because of a requirement on a virtual
The speed-up these rules seem to give depends on the use case at hand, but if the configuration is updated properly, they are noticeable.
Since in cases where there is no rule to exclude packages upfront, reuse is active, and this option is activated, it's possible to see some minor slow down, the feature has been added as opt-in, so it's turned off by default.
This adds a new configuration section called `env_vars:` that can be set in an environment.
It looks very similar to the existing `environment:` section that can be added to `modules.yaml`,
but it is global for an entire spack environment. It's called `env_vars:` to deconflate it with spack
environments (the term was too overloaded).
The syntax looks like this:
```yaml
spack:
specs:
- cmake%gcc
env_vars:
set:
ENVAR_SET_IN_ENV_LOAD: "True"
```
Any of our standard environment modifications can be added to the `env_vars` section, e.g.
`prepend_path:`, `unset:`, `append_path:`, etc. Operations in `env_vars:` are performed
on `spack env activate` and undone on `spack env deactivate`.
* e4s cray rhel ci stack: re-enable and update for new cpe, should fix cray libsci issue
* only run e4s-cray-rhel stack
* Mkae Autotools build_system point at correct build_directory
* remove selective enable of cray-rhel stacks
* restore SPACK_CI_DISABLE_STACKS
* use dot prefix to hide cray-sles jobs instead of comment-out

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
`kcov` was removed in Ubuntu 24.04, and it is no longer
installable via `apt` in our CI images. Instal it via
Linuxbrew instead, at least until it comes back to Ubuntu.
`subversion` is also not installed on ubuntu 24 by default,
so we have to install it manually.
- [x] Add linuxbrew to linux tests
- [x] Install `kcov` with brew
- [x] Install subversion with `apt`

There are still more fix ups required for the missing libs to work as
expected in CI. Dropping the error requirement in favor of moving to a
log scraping method until we can verify all package issues have been
addressed correctly.
* Set the "build_jobs" on concretization/generate for CI
build_jobs also controls the concretization pool size. Set this
in the config section for CI generate.
This config is overwritten by build_job CI using the SPACK_BUILD_JOBS
environment variable. This implicitly will drop the default build
CPU request on all "default" grouped build jobs from (max) 16 to 8.
* Add default allocations for build jobs
* Add common jobs and concretize args to ci generate and rebuild
* CI: Specify parallel concretize and build jobs via argument
* Increase power and cray concretization limits
Lowering limits for these stacks creates timeout
* Increase default pool size to 8
intermittent timeouts with 4 CPU
* Add reduced requests for windows for now
This commit adds a config option `config:shared_linking:missing_library_policy:error/warn/ignore` which will cause installation errors or warnings when ELF executables or libraries need shared libraries which cannot be resolved from RPATH search paths. The default is to ignore.
This is a safeguard against accidentally linking to system libraries instead of Spack libraries. It makes it more likely that build cache installs work on different machines. It works only at the level of libraries, not at the level of symbols. Some system dependencies are allowed (e.g. kernel and libc).
Packages can (but are discouraged to) set `unresolved_libraries` to a list of patterns of sonames/library names that are know to be unresolvable in RPATHs. In the future this could be made more fine-grained in a non-breaking way by allowing a dictionary of patterns `lib => [deps]`.
Add missing encoding=utf-8 to various open calls. This makes
files like spec.json, spack.yaml, spack.lock, config.yaml etc locale
independent w.r.t. text encoding. In practice this is not often an
issue since Python 3.7, where the C locale is promoted to
C.UTF-8. But it's better to enforce UTF-8 explicitly, since there is
no guarantee text files are written in the right encoding.
Also avoid opening in text mode if it can be avoided.
* Python: deprecate 3.8
* Remove preference for EOL Python versions
* Explicitly deprecate things requiring EOL Python
* More deprecations
* deprecate old versions of slepc, py-petsc4py, py-slepc4py in sync with old versions of petsc

Reorganize the pipeline generation aspect of the ci module,
mostly to separate the representation, generation, and
pruning of pipeline graphs from platform-specific output
formatting.
Introduce a pipeline generation registry to support generating
pipelines for other platforms, though gitlab is still the only
supported format currently.
Fix a long-existing bug in pipeline pruning where only direct
dependencies were added to any nodes dependency list.
