-The ``spack verify libraries`` command can be used to verify that packages

-Spack allows you to include configuration files through ``include.yaml``.
-Using the ``include:`` heading results in pulling in external configuration
-information to be used by any Spack command.
-
-Included configuration files are required *unless* they are explicitly optional
-or the entry's condition evaluates to ``false``. Optional includes are specified
-with the ``optional`` clause and conditional with the ``when`` clause. For
-example,
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   include:
-   - /path/to/a/required/config.yaml
-   - path: /path/to/$os/$target/config
-     optional: true
-   - path: /path/to/os-specific/config-dir
-     when: os == "ventura"
-
-shows all three. The first entry, ``/path/to/a/required/config.yaml``,
-indicates that included ``config.yaml`` file is required (so must exist).
-Use of ``optional: true`` for ``/path/to/$os/$target/config`` means
-the path is only included if it exists. The condition ``os == "ventura"``
-in the ``when`` clause for ``/path/to/os-specific/config-dir`` means the
-path is only included when the operating system (``os``) is ``ventura``.
-
-The same conditions and variables in `Spec List References 
-<https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environments.html#spec-list-references>`_
-can be used for conditional activation in the ``when`` clauses.
-
-Included files can be specified by path or by their parent directory.
-Paths may be absolute, relative (to the configuration file including the path), 
-or specified as URLs. Only the ``file``, ``ftp``, ``http`` and ``https`` protocols (or
-schemes) are supported. Spack-specific, environment and user path variables
-can be used. (See :ref:`config-file-variables` for more information.)
-
-.. warning::
-
-   Recursive includes are not currently processed in a breadth-first manner
-   so the value of a configuration option that is altered by multiple included
-   files may not be what you expect. This will be addressed in a future

-.. _ci_artifacts:
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-CI Artifacts Directory Layout
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-When running the CI build using the command ``spack ci rebuild`` a number of directories are created for
-storing data generated during the CI job. The default root directory for artifacts is ``job_scratch_root``.
-This can be overridden by passing the argument ``--artifacts-root`` to the ``spack ci generate`` command
-or by setting the ``SPACK_ARTIFACTS_ROOT`` environment variable in the build job scripts.
-
-The top level directories under the artifact root are ``concrete_environment``, ``logs``, ``reproduction``,
-``tests``, and ``user_data``. Spack does not restrict what is written to any of these directories nor does
-it require user specified files be written to any specific directory.
-
-------------------------
-``concrete_environment``
-------------------------
-
-The directory ``concrete_environment`` is used to communicate the ci generate processed ``spack.yaml`` and
-the concrete ``spack.lock`` for the CI environment.
-
---------
-``logs``
---------
-
-The directory ``logs`` contains the spack build log, ``spack-build-out.txt``, and the spack build environment
-modification file, ``spack-build-mod-env.txt``. Additionally all files specified by the packages ``Builder``
-property ``archive_files`` are also copied here (ie. ``CMakeCache.txt`` in ``CMakeBuilder``).
-
-----------------
-``reproduction``
-----------------
-
-The directory ``reproduction`` is used to store the files needed by the ``spack reproduce-build`` command.
-This includes ``repro.json``, copies of all of the files in ``concrete_environment``, the concrete spec
-JSON file for the current spec being built, and all of the files written in the artifacts root directory.
-
-The ``repro.json`` file is not versioned and is only designed to work with the version of spack CI was run with.
-An example of what a ``repro.json`` may look like is here.
-
-.. code:: json
-
-  {
-    "job_name": "adios2@2.9.2 /feaevuj %gcc@11.4.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-x86_64_v3 E4S ROCm External",
-    "job_spec_json": "adios2.json",
-    "ci_project_dir": "/builds/spack/spack"
-  }
-
----------
-``tests``
----------
-
-The directory ``tests`` is used to store output from running ``spack test <job spec>``. This may or may not have
-data in it depending on the package that was built and the availability of tests.
-
--------------
-``user_data``
--------------
-
-The directory ``user_data`` is used to store everything else that shouldn't be copied to the ``reproduction`` direcotory.
-Users may use this to store additional logs or metrics or other types of files generated by the build job.
