mirrors: distinguish between source/binary mirror; simplify schema (#34523)

Allow the following formats:

```yaml
mirrors:
  name: <url>
```

```yaml
mirrors:
  name:
    url: s3://xyz
    access_pair: [x, y]
```

```yaml
mirrors:
  name:
    fetch: http://xyz
    push:
      url: s3://xyz
      access_pair: [x, y]
```

And reserve two new properties to indicate the mirror type (e.g.
mirror.spack.io is a source mirror, not a binary cache)

```yaml
mirrors:
  spack-public:
    source: true
    binary: false
    url: https://mirror.spack.io
```

+1. **`requires()` directive and enhanced package requirements**
+
+   We've added some more enhancements to requirements in Spack (#36286).
+
+   There is a new `requires()` directive for packages. `requires()` is the opposite of
+   `conflicts()`. You can use it to impose constraints on this package when certain
+   conditions are met:
+
+   ```python
+   requires(
+       "%apple-clang",
+       when="platform=darwin",
+       msg="This package builds only with clang on macOS"
+   )
+   ```
+
+   More on this in [the docs](
+     https://spack.rtfd.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#conflicts-and-requirements).
+
+   You can also now add a `when:` clause to `requires:` in your `packages.yaml`
+   configuration or in an environment:
+
+   ```yaml
+   packages:
+     openmpi:
+       require:
+       - any_of: ["%gcc"]
+         when: "@:4.1.4"
+         message: "Only OpenMPI 4.1.5 and up can build with fancy compilers"
+   ```
+
+   More details can be found [here](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_settings.html#package-requirements)
+
+2. **Exact versions**
+
+   Spack did not previously have a way to distinguish a version if it was a prefix of
+   some other version. For example, `@3.2` would match `3.2`, `3.2.1`, `3.2.2`, etc. You
+   can now match *exactly* `3.2` with `@=3.2`. This is useful, for example, if you need
+   to patch *only* the `3.2` version of a package. The new syntax is described in [the docs](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_usage.html#version-specifier).
+
+   Generally, when writing packages, you should prefer to use ranges like `@3.2` over
+   the specific versions, as this allows the concretizer more leeway when selecting
+   versions of dependencies. More details and recommendations are in the [packaging guide](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#ranges-versus-specific-versions).
+
+   See #36273 for full details on the version refactor.
+
+3. **New testing interface**
+
+   Writing package tests is now much simpler with a new [test interface](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#stand-alone-tests).
+
+   Writing a test is now as easy as adding a method that starts with `test_`:
+
+   ```python
+   class MyPackage(Package):
+       ...
+
+       def test_always_fails(self):
+           """use assert to always fail"""
+           assert False
+
+       def test_example(self):
+           """run installed example"""
+           example = which(self.prefix.bin.example)
+           example()
+    ```
+
+    You can use Python's native `assert` statement to implement your checks -- no more
+    need to fiddle with `run_test` or other test framework methods. Spack will
+    introspect the class and run `test_*` methods when you run `spack test`,
+
+4. **More stable concretization**
+
+   * Now, `spack concretize` will *only* concretize the new portions of the environment
+     and will not change existing parts of an environment unless you specify `--force`.
+     This has always been true for `unify:false`, but not for `unify:true` and
+     `unify:when_possible` environments. Now it is true for all of them (#37438, #37681).
+
+   * The concretizer has a new `--reuse-deps` argument that *only* reuses dependencies.
+     That is, it will always treat the *roots* of your environment as it would with
+     `--fresh`. This allows you to upgrade just the roots of your environment while
+     keeping everything else stable (#30990).
+
+5. **Weekly develop snapshot releases**
+
+   Since last year, we have maintained a buildcache of `develop` at
+   https://binaries.spack.io/develop, but the cache can grow to contain so many builds
+   as to be unwieldy. When we get a stable `develop` build, we snapshot the release and
+   add a corresponding tag the Spack repository. So, you can use a stack from a specific
+   day. There are now tags in the spack repository like:
+
+   * `develop-2023-05-14`
+   * `develop-2023-05-18`
+
+   that correspond to build caches like:
+
+   * https://binaries.spack.io/develop-2023-05-14/e4s
+   * https://binaries.spack.io/develop-2023-05-18/e4s
+
+   We plan to store these snapshot releases weekly.
+
+6. **Specs in buildcaches can be referenced by hash.**
+
+   * Previously, you could run `spack buildcache list` and see the hashes in
+     buildcaches, but referring to them by hash would fail.
+   * You can now run commands like `spack spec` and `spack install` and refer to
+     buildcache hashes directly, e.g. `spack install /abc123` (#35042)
+
+7. **New package and buildcache index websites**
+
+   Our public websites for searching packages have been completely revamped and updated.
+   You can check them out here:
+
+   * *Package Index*: https://packages.spack.io
+   * *Buildcache Index*: https://cache.spack.io
+
+   Both are searchable and more interactive than before. Currently major releases are
+   shown; UI for browsing `develop` snapshots is coming soon.
+
+8. **Default CMake and Meson build types are now Release**
+
+   Spack has historically defaulted to building with optimization and debugging, but
+   packages like `llvm` can be enormous with debug turned on. Our default build type for
+   all Spack packages is now `Release` (#36679, #37436). This has a number of benefits:
+
+   * much smaller binaries;
+   * higher default optimization level; and
+   * defining `NDEBUG` disables assertions, which may lead to further speedups.
+
+   You can still get the old behavior back through requirements and package preferences.

+
+## Removals, Deprecations, and disablements
+* Module file generation is disabled by default; you'll need to enable it to use it (#37258)
+* Support for Python 2 was deprecated in `v0.19.0` and has been removed. `v0.20.0` only
+  supports Python 3.6 and higher.
+* Deprecated target names are no longer recognized by Spack. Use generic names instead:
+  * `graviton` is now `cortex_a72`
+  * `graviton2` is now `neoverse_n1`
+  * `graviton3` is now `neoverse_v1`
+* `blacklist` and `whitelist` in module configuration were deprecated in `v0.19.0` and are
+  removed in this release. Use `exclude` and `include` instead.
+* The `ignore=` parameter of the `extends()` directive has been removed. It was not used by
+  any builtin packages and is no longer needed to avoid conflicts in environment views (#35588).
+* Support for the old YAML buildcache format has been removed. It was deprecated in `v0.19.0` (#34347).
+* `spack find --bootstrap` has been removed. It was deprecated in `v0.19.0`. Use `spack
+  --bootstrap find` instead (#33964).
+* `spack bootstrap trust` and `spack bootstrap untrust` are now removed, having been
+  deprecated in `v0.19.0`. Use `spack bootstrap enable` and `spack bootstrap disable`.
+* The `--mirror-name`, `--mirror-url`, and `--directory` options to buildcache and
+  mirror commands were deprecated in `v0.19.0` and have now been removed. They have been
+  replaced by positional arguments (#37457).
+* Deprecate `env:` as top level environment key (#37424)
+* deprecate buildcache create --rel, buildcache install --allow-root (#37285)
+* Support for very old perl-like spec format strings (e.g., `$_$@$%@+$+$=`) has been
+  removed (#37425). This was deprecated in in `v0.15` (#10556).

+
+## Major features in this release
+
+1. **Package requirements**
+
+   Spack's traditional [package preferences](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_settings.html#package-preferences)
+   are soft, but we've added hard requriements to `packages.yaml` and `spack.yaml`
+   (#32528, #32369). Package requirements use the same syntax as specs:
+
+   ```yaml
+   packages:
+     libfabric:
+       require: "@1.13.2"
+     mpich:
+       require:
+       - one_of: ["+cuda", "+rocm"]
+   ```
+
+   More details in [the docs](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_settings.html#package-requirements).
+
+2. **Environment UI Improvements**
+
+   * Fewer surprising modifications to `spack.yaml` (#33711):
+
+     * `spack install` in an environment will no longer add to the `specs:` list; you'll
+       need to either use `spack add <spec>` or `spack install --add <spec>`.
+
+     * Similarly, `spack uninstall` will not remove from your environment's `specs:`
+       list; you'll need to use `spack remove` or `spack uninstall --remove`.
+
+     This will make it easier to manage an environment, as there is clear separation
+     between the stack to be installed (`spack.yaml`/`spack.lock`) and which parts of
+     it should be installed (`spack install` / `spack uninstall`).
+
+   * `concretizer:unify:true` is now the default mode for new environments (#31787)
+
+     We see more users creating `unify:true` environments now. Users who need
+     `unify:false` can add it to their environment to get the old behavior. This will
+     concretize every spec in the environment independently.
+
+   * Include environment configuration from URLs (#29026, [docs](
+       https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environments.html#included-configurations))
+
+     You can now include configuration in your environment directly from a URL:
+
+     ```yaml
+     spack:
+       include:
+       - https://github.com/path/to/raw/config/compilers.yaml
+     ```
+
+4. **Multiple Build Systems**
+
+   An increasing number of packages in the ecosystem need the ability to support
+   multiple build systems (#30738, [docs](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#multiple-build-systems)),
+   either across versions, across platforms, or within the same version of the software.
+   This has been hard to support through multiple inheritance, as methods from different
+   build system superclasses would conflict. `package.py` files can now define separate
+   builder classes with installation logic for different build systems, e.g.:
+
+   ```python
+   class ArpackNg(CMakePackage, AutotoolsPackage):
+
+       build_system(
+           conditional("cmake", when="@0.64:"),
+           conditional("autotools", when="@:0.63"),
+           default="cmake",
+       )
+
+   class CMakeBuilder(spack.build_systems.cmake.CMakeBuilder):
+       def cmake_args(self):
+           pass
+
+   class Autotoolsbuilder(spack.build_systems.autotools.AutotoolsBuilder):
+       def configure_args(self):
+           pass
+   ```
+
+5. **Compiler and variant propagation**
+
+   Currently, compiler flags and variants are inconsistent: compiler flags set for a
+   package are inherited by its dependencies, while variants are not. We should have
+   these be consistent by allowing for inheritance to be enabled or disabled for both
+   variants and compiler flags.
+
+   Example syntax:
+   - `package ++variant`:
+         enabled variant that will be propagated to dependencies
+   - `package +variant`:
+         enabled variant that will NOT be propagated to dependencies
+   - `package ~~variant`:
+         disabled variant that will be propagated to dependencies
+   - `package ~variant`:
+         disabled variant that will NOT be propagated to dependencies
+   - `package cflags==-g`:
+         `cflags` will be propagated to dependencies
+   - `package cflags=-g`:
+         `cflags` will NOT be propagated to dependencies
+
+   Syntax for non-boolan variants is similar to compiler flags. More in the docs for
+   [variants](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_usage.html#variants) and [compiler flags](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_usage.html#compiler-flags).
+
+6. **Enhancements to git version specifiers**
+
+   * `v0.18.0` added the ability to use git commits as versions. You can now use the
+     `git.` prefix to specify git tags or branches as versions. All of these are valid git
+     versions in `v0.19` (#31200):
+
+     ```console
+     foo@abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234      # raw commit
+     foo@git.abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234  # commit with git prefix
+     foo@git.develop                                   # the develop branch
+     foo@git.0.19                                      # use the 0.19 tag
+     ```
+
+   * `v0.19` also gives you more control over how Spack interprets git versions, in case
+     Spack cannot detect the version from the git repository. You can suffix a git
+     version with `=<version>` to force Spack to concretize it as a particular version
+     (#30998, #31914, #32257):
+
+     ```console
+     # use mybranch, but treat it as version 3.2 for version comparison
+     foo@git.mybranch=3.2
+
+     # use the given commit, but treat it as develop for version comparison
+     foo@git.abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234=develop
+     ```
+
+     More in [the docs](
+       https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_usage.html#version-specifier)
+
+7. **Changes to Cray EX Support**
+
+   Cray machines have historically had their own "platform" within Spack, because we
+   needed to go through the module system to leverage compilers and MPI installations on
+   these machines. The Cray EX programming environment now provides standalone `craycc`
+   executables and proper `mpicc` wrappers, so Spack can treat EX machines like Linux
+   with extra packages (#29392).
+
+   We expect this to greatly reduce bugs, as external packages and compilers can now be
+   used by prefix instead of through modules. We will also no longer be subject to
+   reproducibility issues when modules change from Cray PE release to release and from
+   site to site. This also simplifies dealing with the underlying Linux OS on cray
+   systems, as Spack will properly model the machine's OS as either SuSE or RHEL.
+
+8. **Improvements to tests and testing in CI**
+
+   * `spack ci generate --tests` will generate a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that not only does
+     builds but also runs tests for built packages (#27877). Public GitHub pipelines now
+     also run tests in CI.
+
+   * `spack test run --explicit` will only run tests for packages that are explicitly
+     installed, instead of all packages.
+
+9. **Experimental binding link model**
+
+   You can add a new option to `config.yaml` to make Spack embed absolute paths to
+   needed shared libraries in ELF executables and shared libraries on Linux (#31948, [docs](
+     https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config_yaml.html#shared-linking-bind)):
+
+   ```yaml
+   config:
+     shared_linking:
+       type: rpath
+       bind: true
+   ```
+
+   This can improve launch time at scale for parallel applications, and it can make
+   installations less susceptible to environment variables like `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, even
+   especially when dealing with external libraries that use `RUNPATH`. You can think of
+   this as a faster, even higher-precedence version of `RPATH`.
+
+## Other new features of note
+
+* `spack spec` prints dependencies more legibly. Dependencies in the output now appear
+  at the *earliest* level of indentation possible (#33406)
+* You can override `package.py` attributes like `url`, directly in `packages.yaml`
+  (#33275, [docs](
+    https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_settings.html#assigning-package-attributes))
+* There are a number of new architecture-related format strings you can use in Spack
+  configuration files to specify paths (#29810, [docs](
+    https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#config-file-variables))
+* Spack now supports bootstrapping Clingo on Windows (#33400)
+* There is now support for an `RPATH`-like library model on Windows (#31930)
+
+## Performance Improvements
+
+* Major performance improvements for installation from binary caches (#27610, #33628,
+  #33636, #33608, #33590, #33496)
+* Test suite can now be parallelized using `xdist` (used in GitHub Actions) (#32361)
+* Reduce lock contention for parallel builds in environments (#31643)
+
+## New binary caches and stacks
+
+* We now build nearly all of E4S with `oneapi` in our buildcache (#31781, #31804,
+  #31804, #31803, #31840, #31991, #32117, #32107, #32239)
+* Added 3 new machine learning-centric stacks to binary cache: `x86_64_v3`, CUDA, ROCm
+  (#31592, #33463)
+
+## Removals and Deprecations
+
+* Support for Python 3.5 is dropped (#31908). Only Python 2.7 and 3.6+ are officially
+  supported.
+
+* This is the last Spack release that will support Python 2 (#32615). Spack `v0.19`
+  will emit a deprecation warning if you run it with Python 2, and Python 2 support will
+  soon be removed from the `develop` branch.
+
+* `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` is no longer set by default by `spack load` or module loads.
+
+  Setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in Spack environments/modules can cause binaries from
+  outside of Spack to crash, and Spack's own builds use `RPATH` and do not need
+  `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set in order to run. If you still want the old behavior, you
+  can run these commands to configure Spack to set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`:
+
+  ```console
+  spack config add modules:prefix_inspections:lib64:[LD_LIBRARY_PATH]
+  spack config add modules:prefix_inspections:lib:[LD_LIBRARY_PATH]
+  ```
+
+* The `spack:concretization:[together|separately]` has been removed after being
+  deprecated in `v0.18`. Use `concretizer:unify:[true|false]`.
+* `config:module_roots` is no longer supported after being deprecated in `v0.18`. Use
+  configuration in module sets instead (#28659, [docs](
+    https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/module_file_support.html)).
+* `spack activate` and `spack deactivate` are no longer supported, having been
+  deprecated in `v0.18`. Use an environment with a view instead of
+  activating/deactivating ([docs](
+    https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environments.html#configuration-in-spack-yaml)).
+* The old YAML format for buildcaches is now deprecated (#33707). If you are using an
+  old buildcache with YAML metadata you will need to regenerate it with JSON metadata.
+* `spack bootstrap trust` and `spack bootstrap untrust` are deprecated in favor of
+  `spack bootstrap enable` and `spack bootstrap disable` and will be removed in `v0.20`.
+  (#33600)
+* The `graviton2` architecture has been renamed to `neoverse_n1`, and `graviton3`
+  is now `neoverse_v1`. Buildcaches using the old architecture names will need to be rebuilt.
+* The terms `blacklist` and `whitelist` have been replaced with `include` and `exclude`
+  in all configuration files (#31569). You can use `spack config update` to
+  automatically fix your configuration files.
+
+## Notable Bugfixes
+
+* Permission setting on installation now handles effective uid properly (#19980)
+* `buildable:true` for an MPI implementation now overrides `buildable:false` for `mpi` (#18269)
+* Improved error messages when attempting to use an unconfigured compiler (#32084)
+* Do not punish explicitly requested compiler mismatches in the solver (#30074)
+* `spack stage`: add missing --fresh and --reuse (#31626)
+* Fixes for adding build system executables like `cmake` to package scope (#31739)
+* Bugfix for binary relocation with aliased strings produced by newer `binutils` (#32253)
+
+## Spack community stats
+

-Analyze
-=======
-
-
-The analyze command is a front-end to various tools that let us analyze
-package installations. Each analyzer is a module for a different kind
-of analysis that can be done on a package installation, including (but not
-limited to) binary, log, or text analysis. Thus, the analyze command group
-allows you to take an existing package install, choose an analyzer,
-and extract some output for the package using it.
-
-
------------------
-Analyzer Metadata
------------------
-
-For all analyzers, we write to an ``analyzers`` folder in ``~/.spack``, or the
-value that you specify in your spack config at ``config:analyzers_dir``. 
-For example, here we see the results of running an analysis on zlib:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ tree ~/.spack/analyzers/
-    └── linux-ubuntu20.04-skylake
-        └── gcc-9.3.0
-            └── zlib-1.2.11-sl7m27mzkbejtkrajigj3a3m37ygv4u2
-                ├── environment_variables
-                │   └── spack-analyzer-environment-variables.json
-                ├── install_files
-                │   └── spack-analyzer-install-files.json
-                └── libabigail
-                    └── spack-analyzer-libabigail-libz.so.1.2.11.xml
-    
-
-This means that you can always find analyzer output in this folder, and it
-is organized with the same logic as the package install it was run for. 
-If you want to customize this top level folder, simply provide the ``--path``
-argument to ``spack analyze run``. The nested organization will be maintained
-within your custom root.
-
------------------
-Listing Analyzers
------------------
-
-If you aren't familiar with Spack's analyzers, you can quickly list those that 
-are available:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze list-analyzers
-    install_files            : install file listing read from install_manifest.json
-    environment_variables    : environment variables parsed from spack-build-env.txt
-    config_args              : config args loaded from spack-configure-args.txt
-    libabigail               : Application Binary Interface (ABI) features for objects
-
-
-In the above, the first three are fairly simple - parsing metadata files from
-a package install directory to save
-
--------------------
-Analyzing a Package
--------------------
-
-The analyze command, akin to install, will accept a package spec to perform
-an analysis for. The package must be installed. Let's walk through an example
-with zlib. We first ask to analyze it. However, since we have more than one
-install, we are asked to disambiguate:

-Monitoring An Analysis
-----------------------
-
-For any kind of analysis, you can
-use a `spack monitor <https://github.com/spack/spack-monitor>`_ "Spackmon"
-as a server to upload the same run metadata to. You can
-follow the instructions in the `spack monitor documentation <https://spack-monitor.readthedocs.org>`_
-to first create a server along with a username and token for yourself.
-You can then use this guide to interact with the server.
-
-You should first export our spack monitor token and username to the environment:
-
-.. code-block:: console
- 
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-
-By default, the host for your server is expected to be at ``http://127.0.0.1``
-with a prefix of ``ms1``, and if this is the case, you can simply add the
-``--monitor`` flag to the install command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --monitor wget
-
-If you need to customize the host or the prefix, you can do that as well:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --monitor --monitor-prefix monitor --monitor-host https://monitor-service.io wget
-
-If your server doesn't have authentication, you can skip it:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --monitor --monitor-disable-auth wget
-    
-Regardless of your choice, when you run analyze on an installed package (whether
-it was installed with ``--monitor`` or not, you'll see the results generating as they did
-before, and a message that the monitor server was pinged:
-
-.. code-block:: console

+
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Version specifier
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-A version specifier comes somewhere after a package name and starts
-with ``@``.  It can be a single version, e.g. ``@1.0``, ``@3``, or
-``@1.2a7``.  Or, it can be a range of versions, such as ``@1.0:1.5``
-(all versions between ``1.0`` and ``1.5``, inclusive).  Version ranges
-can be open, e.g. ``:3`` means any version up to and including ``3``.
-This would include ``3.4`` and ``3.4.2``.  ``4.2:`` means any version
-above and including ``4.2``.  Finally, a version specifier can be a
-set of arbitrary versions, such as ``@1.0,1.5,1.7`` (``1.0``, ``1.5``,
-or ``1.7``).  When you supply such a specifier to ``spack install``,
-it constrains the set of versions that Spack will install.
+A version specifier ``pkg@<specifier>`` comes after a package name
+and starts with ``@``. It can be something abstract that matches
+multiple known versions, or a specific version. During concretization,
+Spack will pick the optimal version within the spec's constraints
+according to policies set for the particular Spack installation.
 
-If the version spec is not provided, then Spack will choose one
-according to policies set for the particular spack installation.  If
-the spec is ambiguous, i.e. it could match multiple versions, Spack
-will choose a version within the spec's constraints according to
-policies set for the particular Spack installation.
+The version specifier can be *a specific version*, such as ``@=1.0.0`` or
+``@=1.2a7``. Or, it can be *a range of versions*, such as ``@1.0:1.5``.
+Version ranges are inclusive, so this example includes both ``1.0``
+and any ``1.5.x`` version. Version ranges can be unbounded, e.g. ``@:3``
+means any version up to and including ``3``. This would include ``3.4``
+and ``3.4.2``.  Similarly, ``@4.2:`` means any version above and including
+``4.2``.  As a short-hand, ``@3`` is equivalent to the range ``@3:3`` and
+includes any version with major version ``3``.
+
+Notice that you can distinguish between the specific version ``@=3.2`` and
+the range ``@3.2``. This is useful for packages that follow a versioning
+scheme that omits the zero patch version number: ``3.2``, ``3.2.1``,
+``3.2.2``, etc. In general it is preferable to use the range syntax
+``@3.2``, since ranges also match versions with one-off suffixes, such as
+``3.2-custom``.
+
+A version specifier can also be a list of ranges and specific versions,
+separated by commas.  For example, ``@1.0:1.5,=1.7.1`` matches any version
+in the range ``1.0:1.5`` and the specific version ``1.7.1``.
+
+For packages with a ``git`` attribute, ``git`` references
+may be specified instead of a numerical version i.e. branches, tags
+and commits. Spack will stage and build based off the ``git``
+reference provided.  Acceptable syntaxes for this are:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # commit hashes
+   foo@abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234    # 40 character hashes are automatically treated as git commits
+   foo@git.abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234
+
+    # branches and tags
+   foo@git.develop # use the develop branch
+   foo@git.0.19 # use the 0.19 tag
+
+Spack always needs to associate a Spack version with the git reference,
+which is used for version comparison. This Spack version is heuristically
+taken from the closest valid git tag among ancestors of the git ref.
+
+Once a Spack version is associated with a git ref, it always printed with
+the git ref.  For example, if the commit ``@git.abcdefg`` is tagged
+``0.19``, then the spec will be shown as ``@git.abcdefg=0.19``.
+
+If the git ref is not exactly a tag, then the distance to the nearest tag
+is also part of the resolved version. ``@git.abcdefg=0.19.git.8`` means
+that the commit is 8 commits away from the ``0.19`` tag.
+
+In cases where Spack cannot resolve a sensible version from a git ref,
+users can specify the Spack version to use for the git ref. This is done
+by appending ``=`` and the Spack version to the git ref. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   foo@git.my_ref=3.2 # use the my_ref tag or branch, but treat it as version 3.2 for version comparisons
+   foo@git.abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234abcdef1234=develop # use the given commit, but treat it as develop for version comparisons
 
 Details about how versions are compared and how Spack determines if
 one version is less than another are discussed in the developer guide.

-to use :ref:`shell-support`.  You can simply ``load`` the extension,
-and it will be added to the ``PYTHONPATH`` in your current shell:
+The recommended way of working with extensions such as ``py-numpy``

+with a filesystem view in the ``./view`` directory:

+   $ spack -e . add py-numpy

+We recommend environments for two reasons. Firstly, environments
+can be activated (requires :ref:`shell-support`):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack env activate .
+
+which sets all the right environment variables such as ``PATH`` and
+``PYTHONPATH``. This ensures that
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ python
+   >>> import numpy
+
+works. Secondly, even without shell support, the view ensures
+that Python can locate its extensions:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ ./view/bin/python
+   >>> import numpy
+

+--------------------
+Package Requirements
+--------------------
+
+Spack can be configured to always use certain compilers, package
+versions, and variants during concretization through package
+requirements.
+
+Package requirements are useful when you find yourself repeatedly
+specifying the same constraints on the command line, and wish that
+Spack respects these constraints whether you mention them explicitly
+or not. Another use case is specifying constraints that should apply
+to all root specs in an environment, without having to repeat the
+constraint everywhere.
+
+Apart from that, requirements config is more flexible than constraints
+on the command line, because it can specify constraints on packages
+*when they occur* as a dependency. In contrast, on the command line it
+is not possible to specify constraints on dependencies while also keeping
+those dependencies optional.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Requirements syntax
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The package requirements configuration is specified in ``packages.yaml``,
+keyed by package name and expressed using the Spec syntax. In the simplest
+case you can specify attributes that you always want the package to have
+by providing a single spec string to ``require``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     libfabric:
+       require: "@1.13.2"
+
+In the above example, ``libfabric`` will always build with version 1.13.2. If you
+need to compose multiple configuration scopes ``require`` accepts a list of
+strings:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     libfabric:
+       require:
+       - "@1.13.2"
+       - "%gcc"
+
+In this case ``libfabric`` will always build with version 1.13.2 **and** using GCC
+as a compiler.
+
+For more complex use cases, require accepts also a list of objects. These objects
+must have either a ``any_of`` or a ``one_of`` field, containing a list of spec strings,
+and they can optionally have a ``when`` and a ``message`` attribute:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     openmpi:
+       require:
+       - any_of: ["@4.1.5", "%gcc"]
+         message: "in this example only 4.1.5 can build with other compilers"
+
+``any_of`` is a list of specs. One of those specs must be satisfied
+and it is also allowed for the concretized spec to match more than one.
+In the above example, that means you could build ``openmpi@4.1.5%gcc``,
+``openmpi@4.1.5%clang`` or ``openmpi@3.9%gcc``, but
+not ``openmpi@3.9%clang``.
+
+If a custom message is provided, and the requirement is not satisfiable,
+Spack will print the custom error message:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack spec openmpi@3.9%clang
+   ==> Error: in this example only 4.1.5 can build with other compilers
+
+We could express a similar requirement using the ``when`` attribute:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     openmpi:
+       require:
+       - any_of: ["%gcc"]
+         when: "@:4.1.4"
+         message: "in this example only 4.1.5 can build with other compilers"
+
+In the example above, if the version turns out to be 4.1.4 or less, we require the compiler to be GCC.
+For readability, Spack also allows a ``spec`` key accepting a string when there is only a single
+constraint:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     openmpi:
+       require:
+       - spec: "%gcc"
+         when: "@:4.1.4"
+         message: "in this example only 4.1.5 can build with other compilers"
+
+This code snippet and the one before it are semantically equivalent.
+
+Finally, instead of ``any_of`` you can use ``one_of`` which also takes a list of specs. The final
+concretized spec must match one and only one of them:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     mpich:
+       require:
+       - one_of: ["+cuda", "+rocm"]
+
+In the example above, that means you could build ``mpich+cuda`` or ``mpich+rocm`` but not ``mpich+cuda+rocm``.
+
+.. note::
+
+   For ``any_of`` and ``one_of``, the order of specs indicates a
+   preference: items that appear earlier in the list are preferred
+   (note that these preferences can be ignored in favor of others).
+
+.. note::
+
+   When using a conditional requirement, Spack is allowed to actively avoid the triggering
+   condition (the ``when=...`` spec) if that leads to a concrete spec with better scores in
+   the optimization criteria. To check the current optimization criteria and their
+   priorities you can run ``spack solve zlib``.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Setting default requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can also set default requirements for all packages under ``all``
+like this:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     all:
+       require: '%clang'
+
+which means every spec will be required to use ``clang`` as a compiler.
+
+Note that in this case ``all`` represents a *default set of requirements* -
+if there are specific package requirements, then the default requirements
+under ``all`` are disregarded. For example, with a configuration like this:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     all:
+       require: '%clang'
+     cmake:
+       require: '%gcc'
+
+Spack requires ``cmake`` to use ``gcc`` and all other nodes (including ``cmake``
+dependencies) to use ``clang``.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Setting requirements on virtual specs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A requirement on a virtual spec applies whenever that virtual is present in the DAG.
+This can be useful for fixing which virtual provider you want to use:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     mpi:
+       require: 'mvapich2 %gcc'
+

+In some cases package requirements can be too strong, and package

-Multiple Build Systems
-----------------------
-
-Quite frequently, a package will change build systems from one version to the
-next. For example, a small project that once used a single Makefile to build
-may now require Autotools to handle the increased number of files that need to
-be compiled. Or, a package that once used Autotools may switch to CMake for
-Windows support. In this case, it becomes a bit more challenging to write a
-single build recipe for this package in Spack.
-
-There are several ways that this can be handled in Spack:
-
-#. Subclass the new build system, and override phases as needed (preferred)
-#. Subclass ``Package`` and implement ``install`` as needed
-#. Create separate ``*-cmake``, ``*-autotools``, etc. packages for each build system
-#. Rename the old package to ``*-legacy`` and create a new package
-#. Move the old package to a ``legacy`` repository and create a new package
-#. Drop older versions that only support the older build system
-
-Of these options, 1 is preferred, and will be demonstrated in this
-documentation. Options 3-5 have issues with concretization, so shouldn't be
-used. Options 4-5 also don't support more than two build systems. Option 6 only
-works if the old versions are no longer needed. Option 1 is preferred over 2
-because it makes it easier to drop the old build system entirely.
-
-The exact syntax of the package depends on which build systems you need to
-support. Below are a couple of common examples.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Makefile -> Autotools
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Let's say we have the following package:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Foo(MakefilePackage):
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def edit(self, spec, prefix):
-           filter_file("CC=", "CC=" + spack_cc, "Makefile")
-
-       def install(self, spec, prefix):
-           install_tree(".", prefix)
-
-
-The package subclasses from :ref:`makefilepackage`, which has three phases:
-
-#. ``edit`` (does nothing by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-In this case, the ``install`` phase needed to be overridden because the
-Makefile did not have an install target. We also modify the Makefile to use
-Spack's compiler wrappers. The default ``build`` phase is not changed.
-
-Starting with version 1.3.0, we want to use Autotools to build instead.
-:ref:`autotoolspackage` has four phases:
-
-#. ``autoreconf`` (does not if a configure script already exists)
-#. ``configure`` (runs ``./configure --prefix=...`` by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-If the only version we need to support is 1.3.0, the package would look as
-simple as:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Foo(AutotoolsPackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-
-In this case, we use the default methods for each phase and only override
-``configure_args`` to specify additional flags to pass to ``./configure``.
-
-If we wanted to write a single package that supports both versions 1.2.0 and
-1.3.0, it would look something like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Foo(AutotoolsPackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...", deprecated=True)
-
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.2.0 is dropped
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def patch(self):
-           filter_file("CC=", "CC=" + spack_cc, "Makefile")
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def autoreconf(self, spec, prefix):
-           pass
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def configure(self, spec, prefix):
-           pass
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def install(self, spec, prefix):
-           install_tree(".", prefix)
-
-
-There are a few interesting things to note here:
-
-* We added ``deprecated=True`` to version 1.2.0. This signifies that version
-  1.2.0 is deprecated and shouldn't be used. However, if a user still relies
-  on version 1.2.0, it's still there and builds just fine.
-* We moved the contents of the ``edit`` phase to the ``patch`` function. Since
-  ``AutotoolsPackage`` doesn't have an ``edit`` phase, the only way for this
-  step to be executed is to move it to the ``patch`` function, which always
-  gets run.
-* The ``autoreconf`` and ``configure`` phases become no-ops. Since the old
-  Makefile-based build system doesn't use these, we ignore these phases when
-  building ``foo@1.2.0``.
-* The ``@when`` decorator is used to override these phases only for older
-  versions. The default methods are used for ``foo@1.3:``.
-
-Once a new Spack release comes out, version 1.2.0 and everything below the
-comment can be safely deleted. The result is the same as if we had written a
-package for version 1.3.0 from scratch.
-

-#. ``configure`` (runs ``./configure --prefix=...`` by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-In this case, we use the default methods for each phase and only override
-``configure_args`` to specify additional flags to pass to ``./configure``.
-
-Starting with version 1.3.0, we want to use CMake to build instead.
-:ref:`cmakepackage` has three phases:
-
-#. ``cmake`` (runs ``cmake ...`` by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-If the only version we need to support is 1.3.0, the package would look as
-simple as:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Bar(CMakePackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def cmake_args(self):
-           return [self.define("BUILD_SHARED_LIBS", True)]
-
-
-In this case, we use the default methods for each phase and only override
-``cmake_args`` to specify additional flags to pass to ``cmake``.
-
-If we wanted to write a single package that supports both versions 1.2.0 and
-1.3.0, it would look something like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Bar(CMakePackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...", deprecated=True)
-
-       def cmake_args(self):
-           return [self.define("BUILD_SHARED_LIBS", True)]
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.2.0 is dropped
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def cmake(self, spec, prefix):
-           configure("--prefix=" + prefix, *self.configure_args())
-
-
-There are a few interesting things to note here:
-
-* We added ``deprecated=True`` to version 1.2.0. This signifies that version
-  1.2.0 is deprecated and shouldn't be used. However, if a user still relies
-  on version 1.2.0, it's still there and builds just fine.
-* Since CMake and Autotools are so similar, we only need to override the
-  ``cmake`` phase, we can use the default ``build`` and ``install`` phases.
-* We override ``cmake`` to run ``./configure`` for older versions.
-  ``configure_args`` remains the same.
-* The ``@when`` decorator is used to override these phases only for older
-  versions. The default methods are used for ``bar@1.3:``.
-
-Once a new Spack release comes out, version 1.2.0 and everything below the
-comment can be safely deleted. The result is the same as if we had written a
-package for version 1.3.0 from scratch.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Multiple build systems for the same version
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-During the transition from one build system to another, developers often
-support multiple build systems at the same time. Spack can only use a single
-build system for a single version. To decide which build system to use for a
-particular version, take the following things into account:
-
-1. If the developers explicitly state that one build system is preferred over
-   another, use that one.
-2. If one build system is considered "experimental" while another is considered
-   "stable", use the stable build system.
-3. Otherwise, use the newer build system.
-
-The developer preference for which build system to use can change over time as
-a newer build system becomes stable/recommended.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Dropping support for old build systems
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-When older versions of a package don't support a newer build system, it can be
-tempting to simply delete them from a package. This significantly reduces
-package complexity and makes the build recipe much easier to maintain. However,
-other packages or Spack users may rely on these older versions. The recommended
-approach is to first support both build systems (as demonstrated above),
-:ref:`deprecate <deprecate>` versions that rely on the old build system, and
-remove those versions and any phases that needed to be overridden in the next
-Spack release.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Three or more build systems
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In rare cases, a package may change build systems multiple times. For example,
-a package may start with Makefiles, then switch to Autotools, then switch to
-CMake. The same logic used above can be extended to any number of build systems.
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Baz(CMakePackage):
-       version("1.4.0", sha256="...")  # CMake
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")  # Autotools
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...")  # Makefile
-
-       def cmake_args(self):
-           return [self.define("BUILD_SHARED_LIBS", True)]
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.3.0 is dropped
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-       @when("@1.3")
-       def cmake(self, spec, prefix):
-           configure("--prefix=" + prefix, *self.configure_args())
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.2.0 is dropped
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def patch(self):
-           filter_file("CC=", "CC=" + spack_cc, "Makefile")
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def cmake(self, spec, prefix):
-           pass
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def install(self, spec, prefix):
-           install_tree(".", prefix)

 DO NOT MIX the two options within the same install tree.
 
+-----------------------
+``shared_linking:bind``
+-----------------------
+
+This is an *experimental option* that controls whether Spack embeds absolute paths
+to needed shared libraries in ELF executables and shared libraries on Linux. Setting
+this option to ``true`` has two advantages:
+
+1. **Improved startup time**: when running an executable, the dynamic loader does not
+   have to perform a search for needed libraries, they are loaded directly.
+2. **Reliability**: libraries loaded at runtime are those that were linked to. This
+   minimizes the risk of accidentally picking up system libraries.
+
+In the current implementation, Spack sets the soname (shared object name) of
+libraries to their install path upon installation. This has two implications:
+
+1. binding does not apply to libraries installed *before* the option was enabled;
+2. toggling the option off does *not* prevent binding of libraries installed when
+   the option was still enabled.
+
+It is also worth noting that:
+
+1. Applications relying on ``dlopen(3)`` will continue to work, even when they open
+   a library by name. This is because ``RPATH``\s are retained in binaries also
+   when ``bind`` is enabled.
+2. ``LD_PRELOAD`` continues to work for the typical use case of overriding
+   symbols, such as preloading a library with a more efficient ``malloc``.
+   However, the preloaded library will be loaded *additionally to*, instead of
+   *in place of* another library with the same name --- this can be problematic
+   in very rare cases where libraries rely on a particular ``init`` or ``fini``
+   order.
+
+.. note::
+
+   In some cases packages provide *stub libraries* that only contain an interface
+   for linking, but lack an implementation for runtime. An example of this is
+   ``libcuda.so``, provided by the CUDA toolkit; it can be used to link against,
+   but the library needed at runtime is the one installed with the CUDA driver.
+   To avoid binding those libraries, they can be marked as non-bindable using
+   a property in the package:
+
+   .. code-block:: python
+
+      class Example(Package):
+         non_bindable_shared_objects = ["libinterface.so"]

+Extending the Jinja2 Templates
+------------------------------
+
+The Dockerfile and the Singularity definition file that Spack can generate are based on
+a few Jinja2 templates that are rendered according to the environment being containerized.
+Even though Spack allows a great deal of customization by just setting appropriate values for
+the configuration options, sometimes that is not enough.
+
+In those cases, a user can directly extend the template that Spack uses to render the image
+to e.g. set additional environment variables or perform specific operations either before or
+after a given stage of the build. Let's consider as an example the following structure:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ tree /opt/environment
+   /opt/environment
+   ├── data
+   │     └── data.csv
+   ├── spack.yaml

+       └── container
+           └── CustomDockerfile

+       depfile: true
+       template: container/CustomDockerfile
+

+This means that any package in the environment corresponds to a single concrete spec. In

+Building a subset of the environment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The generated ``Makefile``\s contain install targets for each spec, identified
+by ``<name>-<version>-<hash>``. This allows you to install only a subset of the
+packages in the environment. When packages are unique in the environment, it's
+enough to know the name and let tab-completion fill out the version and hash.
+
+The following phony targets are available: ``install/<spec>`` to install the
+spec with its dependencies, and ``install-deps/<spec>`` to *only* install
+its dependencies. This can be useful when certain flags should only apply to
+dependencies. Below we show a use case where a spec is installed with verbose
+output (``spack install --verbose``) while its dependencies are installed silently:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   $ spack env depfile -o Makefile
+
+   # Install dependencies in parallel, only show a log on error.
+   $ make -j16 install-deps/python-3.11.0-<hash> SPACK_INSTALL_FLAGS=--show-log-on-error
+
+   # Install the root spec with verbose output.
+   $ make -j16 install/python-3.11.0-<hash> SPACK_INSTALL_FLAGS=--verbose
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Adding post-install hooks
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Another advanced use-case of generated ``Makefile``\s is running a post-install
+command for each package. These "hooks" could be anything from printing a
+post-install message, running tests, or pushing just-built binaries to a buildcache.
+
+This can be accomplished through the generated ``[<prefix>/]SPACK_PACKAGE_IDS``
+variable. Assuming we have an active and concrete environment, we generate the
+associated ``Makefile`` with a prefix ``example``:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   $ spack env depfile -o env.mk --make-prefix example
+
+And we now include it in a different ``Makefile``, in which we create a target
+``example/push/%`` with ``%`` referring to a package identifier. This target
+depends on the particular package installation. In this target we automatically
+have the target-specific ``HASH`` and ``SPEC`` variables at our disposal. They
+are respectively the spec hash (excluding leading ``/``), and a human-readable spec.
+Finally, we have an entrypoint target ``push`` that will update the buildcache
+index once every package is pushed. Note how this target uses the generated
+``example/SPACK_PACKAGE_IDS`` variable to define its prerequisites.

-To read about how to monitor an analysis (meaning you want to send analysis results
-to a server) see :ref:`analyze_monitoring`.

-Monitoring An Install
----------------------
-
-Since an install is typically when you build packages, we logically want
-to tell spack to monitor during this step. Let's start with an example
-where we want to monitor the install of hdf5. Unless you have disabled authentication
-for the server, we first want to export our spack monitor token and username to the environment:
-
-.. code-block:: console
- 
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-
-By default, the host for your server is expected to be at ``http://127.0.0.1``
-with a prefix of ``ms1``, and if this is the case, you can simply add the
-``--monitor`` flag to the install command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor hdf5
-
-
-If you need to customize the host or the prefix, you can do that as well:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-prefix monitor --monitor-host https://monitor-service.io hdf5
-
-
-As a precaution, we cut out early in the spack client if you have not provided
-authentication credentials. For example, if you run the command above without
-exporting your username or token, you'll see:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    ==> Error: You are required to export SPACKMON_TOKEN and SPACKMON_USER
-
-This extra check is to ensure that we don't start any builds,
-and then discover that you forgot to export your token. However, if 
-your monitoring server has authentication disabled, you can tell this to
-the client to skip this step:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-disable-auth hdf5
-
-If the service is not running, you'll cleanly exit early - the install will
-not continue if you've asked it to monitor and there is no service.
-For example, here is what you'll see if the monitoring service is not running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    [Errno 111] Connection refused
-
-
-If you want to continue builds (and stop monitoring) you can set the ``--monitor-keep-going``
-flag. 
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-keep-going hdf5
-
-This could mean that if a request fails, you only have partial or no data
-added to your monitoring database. This setting will not be applied to the
-first request to check if the server is running, but to subsequent requests.
-If you don't have a monitor server running and you want to build, simply
-don't provide the ``--monitor`` flag! Finally, if you want to provide one or
-more tags to your build, you can do:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # Add one tag, "pizza"
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-tags pizza hdf5
-
-    # Add two tags, "pizza" and "pasta"
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-tags pizza,pasta hdf5
-
-
-----------------------------
-Monitoring with Containerize
-----------------------------
-
-The same argument group is available to add to a containerize command. 
-
-^^^^^^
-Docker
-^^^^^^
-
-To add monitoring to a Docker container recipe generation using the defaults,
-and assuming a monitor server running on localhost, you would
-start with a spack.yaml in your present working directory:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   spack:
-     specs:
-       - samtools
-
-And then do:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # preview first
-    spack containerize --monitor
-    
-    # and then write to a Dockerfile
-    spack containerize --monitor > Dockerfile
-    
-    
-The install command will be edited to include commands for enabling monitoring.
-However, getting secrets into the container for your monitor server is something
-that should be done carefully. Specifically you should:
-
- - Never try to define secrets as ENV, ARG, or using ``--build-arg``
- - Do not try to get the secret into the container via a "temporary" file that you remove (it in fact will still exist in a layer)
-
-Instead, it's recommended to use buildkit `as explained here <https://pythonspeed.com/articles/docker-build-secrets/>`_.
-You'll need to again export environment variables for your spack monitor server:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-And then use buildkit along with your build and identifying the name of the secret:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --secret id=st,env=SPACKMON_TOKEN --secret id=su,env=SPACKMON_USER -t spack/container . 
-    
-The secrets are expected to come from your environment, and then will be temporarily mounted and available
-at ``/run/secrets/<name>``. If you forget to supply them (and authentication is required) the build
-will fail. If you need to build on your host (and interact with a spack monitor at localhost) you'll
-need to tell Docker to use the host network:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --network="host" --secret id=st,env=SPACKMON_TOKEN --secret id=su,env=SPACKMON_USER -t spack/container . 
-    
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-Singularity
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To add monitoring to a Singularity container build, the spack.yaml needs to
-be modified slightly to specify wanting a different format:
-
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   spack:
-     specs:
-       - samtools
-     container:
-       format: singularity
-       
-       
-Again, generate the recipe:
-
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # preview first
-    $ spack containerize --monitor
-    
-    # then write to a Singularity recipe
-    $ spack containerize --monitor > Singularity
-
-
-Singularity doesn't have a direct way to define secrets at build time, so we have
-to do a bit of a manual command to add a file, source secrets in it, and remove it.
-Since Singularity doesn't have layers like Docker, deleting a file will truly
-remove it from the container and history. So let's say we have this file,
-``secrets.sh``:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # secrets.sh
-    export SPACKMON_USER=spack
-    export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-
-
-We would then generate the Singularity recipe, and add a files section,
-a source of that file at the start of ``%post``, and **importantly**
-a removal of the final at the end of that same section.
-
-.. code-block::
-
-    Bootstrap: docker
-    From: spack/ubuntu-bionic:latest
-    Stage: build
-
-    %files
-      secrets.sh /opt/secrets.sh 
-
-    %post
-      . /opt/secrets.sh
-
-      # spack install commands are here
-      ...
-      
-      # Don't forget to remove here!
-      rm /opt/secrets.sh
-
-
-You can then build the container as your normally would.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ sudo singularity build container.sif Singularity 
-
-
-------------------
-Monitoring Offline
-------------------
-
-In the case that you want to save monitor results to your filesystem
-and then upload them later (perhaps you are in an environment where you don't
-have credentials or it isn't safe to use them) you can use the ``--monitor-save-local``
-flag.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-save-local hdf5 
-
-This will save results in a subfolder, "monitor" in your designated spack
-reports folder, which defaults to ``$HOME/.spack/reports/monitor``. When
-you are ready to upload them to a spack monitor server:
-
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack monitor upload ~/.spack/reports/monitor 
-
-
-You can choose the root directory of results as shown above, or a specific
-subdirectory. The command accepts other arguments to specify configuration
-for the monitor.
