-# v0.20.0 (2023-05-21)
-
-`v0.20.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Features in this release
-
-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.
-
-## Other new commands and directives

-
-## Binary cache and stack updates
-
-* Major simplification of CI boilerplate in stacks (#34272, #36045)
-* Many improvements to our CI pipeline's reliability
-
-## 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).
-

-# v0.19.0 (2022-11-11)
-
-`v0.19.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## 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)

-* 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)

-
-# v0.18.0 (2022-05-28)
-
-`v0.18.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Major features in this release
-
-1. **Concretizer now reuses by default**
-
-   `spack install --reuse` was introduced in `v0.17.0`, and `--reuse`
-   is now the default concretization mode. Spack will try hard to
-   resolve dependencies using installed packages or binaries (#30396).
-
-   To avoid reuse and to use the latest package configurations, (the
-   old default), you can use `spack install --fresh`, or add
-   configuration like this to your environment or `concretizer.yaml`:
-
-   ```yaml
-   concretizer:
-       reuse: false
-   ```
-
-2. **Finer-grained hashes**
-
-   Spack hashes now include `link`, `run`, *and* `build` dependencies,
-   as well as a canonical hash of package recipes. Previously, hashes
-   only included `link` and `run` dependencies (though `build`
-   dependencies were stored by environments). We coarsened the hash to
-   reduce churn in user installations, but the new default concretizer
-   behavior mitigates this concern and gets us reuse *and* provenance.
-   You will be able to see the build dependencies of new installations
-   with `spack find`. Old installations will not change and their
-   hashes will not be affected. (#28156, #28504, #30717, #30861)
-
-3. **Improved error messages**
-
-   Error handling with the new concretizer is now done with
-   optimization criteria rather than with unsatisfiable cores, and
-   Spack reports many more details about conflicting constraints.
-   (#30669)
-
-4. **Unify environments when possible**
-
-   Environments have thus far supported `concretization: together` or
-   `concretization: separately`. These have been replaced by a new
-   preference in `concretizer.yaml`:
-
-   ```yaml
-   concretizer:
-       unify: [true|false|when_possible]
-   ```
-
-   `concretizer:unify:when_possible` will *try* to resolve a fully
-   unified environment, but if it cannot, it will create multiple
-   configurations of some packages where it has to. For large
-   environments that previously had to be concretized separately, this
-   can result in a huge speedup (40-50x). (#28941)
-
-5. **Automatically find externals on Cray machines**
-
-   Spack can now automatically discover installed packages in the Cray
-   Programming Environment by running `spack external find` (or `spack
-   external read-cray-manifest` to *only* query the PE). Packages from
-   the PE (e.g., `cray-mpich` are added to the database with full
-   dependency information, and compilers from the PE are added to
-   `compilers.yaml`. Available with the June 2022 release of the Cray
-   Programming Environment. (#24894, #30428)
-
-6. **New binary format and hardened signing**
-
-   Spack now has an updated binary format, with improvements for
-   security. The new format has a detached signature file, and Spack
-   verifies the signature before untarring or decompressing the binary
-   package. The previous format embedded the signature in a `tar`
-   file, which required the client to run `tar` *before* verifying
-   (#30750). Spack can still install from build caches using the old
-   format, but we encourage users to switch to the new format going
-   forward.
-
-   Production GitLab pipelines have been hardened to securely sign
-   binaries. There is now a separate signing stage so that signing
-   keys are never exposed to build system code, and signing keys are
-   ephemeral and only live as long as the signing pipeline stage.
-   (#30753)
-
-7. **Bootstrap mirror generation**
-
-   The `spack bootstrap mirror` command can automatically create a
-   mirror for bootstrapping the concretizer and other needed
-   dependencies in an air-gapped environment. (#28556)
-
-8. **Nascent Windows support**
-
-   Spack now has initial support for Windows. Spack core has been
-   refactored to run in the Windows environment, and a small number of
-   packages can now build for Windows. More details are
-   [in the documentation](https://spack.rtfd.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#spack-on-windows)
-   (#27021, #28385, many more)
-
-9. **Makefile generation**
-
-   `spack env depfile` can be used to generate a `Makefile` from an
-   environment, which can be used to build packages the environment
-   in parallel on a single node. e.g.:
-
-   ```console
-   spack -e myenv env depfile > Makefile
-   make
-   ```
-
-   Spack propagates `gmake` jobserver information to builds so that
-   their jobs can share cores. (#30039, #30254, #30302, #30526)
-
-10. **New variant features**
-
-    In addition to being conditional themselves, variants can now have
-    [conditional *values*](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#conditional-possible-values)
-    that are only possible for certain configurations of a package. (#29530)
-
-    Variants can be
-    [declared "sticky"](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#sticky-variants),
-    which prevents them from being enabled or disabled by the
-    concretizer. Sticky variants must be set explicitly by users
-    on the command line or in `packages.yaml`. (#28630)
-
-* Allow conditional possible values in variants
-* Add a "sticky" property to variants
-
-
-## Other new features of note
-
-* Environment views can optionally link only `run` dependencies
-  with `link:run` (#29336)
-* `spack external find --all` finds library-only packages in
-  addition to build dependencies (#28005)
-* Customizable `config:license_dir` option (#30135)
-* `spack external find --path PATH` takes a custom search path (#30479)
-* `spack spec` has a new `--format` argument like `spack find` (#27908)
-* `spack concretize --quiet` skips printing concretized specs (#30272)
-* `spack info` now has cleaner output and displays test info (#22097)
-* Package-level submodule option for git commit versions (#30085, #30037)
-* Using `/hash` syntax to refer to concrete specs in an environment
-  now works even if `/hash` is not installed. (#30276)
-
-## Major internal refactors
-
-* full hash (see above)
-* new develop versioning scheme `0.19.0-dev0`
-* Allow for multiple dependencies/dependents from the same package (#28673)
-* Splice differing virtual packages (#27919)
-
-## Performance Improvements
-
-* Concretization of large environments with `unify: when_possible` is
-  much faster than concretizing separately (#28941, see above)
-* Single-pass view generation algorithm is 2.6x faster (#29443)
-
-## Archspec improvements
-
-* `oneapi` and `dpcpp` flag support (#30783)
-* better support for `M1` and `a64fx` (#30683)
-
-## Removals and Deprecations
-
-* Spack no longer supports Python `2.6` (#27256)
-* Removed deprecated `--run-tests` option of `spack install`;
-  use `spack test` (#30461)
-* Removed deprecated `spack flake8`; use `spack style` (#27290)
-
-* Deprecate `spack:concretization` config option; use
-  `concretizer:unify` (#30038)
-* Deprecate top-level module configuration; use module sets (#28659)
-* `spack activate` and `spack deactivate` are deprecated in favor of
-  environments; will be removed in `0.19.0` (#29430; see also `link:run`
-  in #29336 above)
-
-## Notable Bugfixes
-
-* Fix bug that broke locks with many parallel builds (#27846)
-* Many bugfixes and consistency improvements for the new concretizer
-  and `--reuse` (#30357, #30092, #29835, #29933, #28605, #29694, #28848)
-
-## Packages
-
-* `CMakePackage` uses `CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH` (#29703)
-* Refactored `lua` support: `lua-lang` virtual supports both
-  `lua` and `luajit` via new `LuaPackage` build system(#28854)
-* PythonPackage: now installs packages with `pip` (#27798)
-* Python: improve site_packages_dir handling (#28346)
-* Extends: support spec, not just package name (#27754)
-* `find_libraries`: search for both .so and .dylib on macOS (#28924)
-* Use stable URLs and `?full_index=1` for all github patches (#29239)

-# v0.17.0 (2021-11-05)
-
-`v0.17.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Major features in this release
-
-1. **New concretizer is now default**
-   The new concretizer introduced as an experimental feature in `v0.16.0`
-   is now the default (#25502). The new concretizer is based on the
-   [clingo](https://github.com/potassco/clingo) logic programming system,
-   and it enables us to do much higher quality and faster dependency solving
-   The old concretizer is still available via the `concretizer: original`
-   setting, but it is deprecated and will be removed in `v0.18.0`.
-
-2. **Binary Bootstrapping**
-   To make it easier to use the new concretizer and binary packages,
-   Spack now bootstraps `clingo` and `GnuPG` from public binaries. If it
-   is not able to bootstrap them from binaries, it installs them from
-   source code. With these changes, you should still be able to clone Spack
-   and start using it almost immediately. (#21446, #22354, #22489, #22606,
-   #22720, #22720, #23677, #23946, #24003, #25138, #25607, #25964, #26029,
-   #26399, #26599).
-
-3. **Reuse existing packages (experimental)**
-   The most wanted feature from our
-   [2020 user survey](https://spack.io/spack-user-survey-2020/) and
-   the most wanted Spack feature of all time (#25310). `spack install`,
-   `spack spec`, and `spack concretize` now have a `--reuse` option, which
-   causes Spack to minimize the number of rebuilds it does. The `--reuse`
-   option will try to find existing installations and binary packages locally
-   and in registered mirrors, and will prefer to use them over building new
-   versions. This will allow users to build from source *far* less than in
-   prior versions of Spack. This feature will continue to be improved, with
-   configuration options and better CLI expected in `v0.17.1`. It will become
-   the *default* concretization mode in `v0.18.0`.
-
-4. **Better error messages**
-   We have improved the error messages generated by the new concretizer by
-   using *unsatisfiable cores*. Spack will now print a summary of the types
-   of constraints that were violated to make a spec unsatisfiable (#26719).
-
-5. **Conditional variants**
-   Variants can now have a `when="<spec>"` clause, allowing them to be
-   conditional based on the version or other attributes of a package (#24858).
-
-6. **Git commit versions**
-   In an environment and on the command-line, you can now provide a full,
-   40-character git commit as a version for any package with a top-level
-   `git` URL.  e.g., `spack install hdf5@45bb27f58240a8da7ebb4efc821a1a964d7712a8`.
-   Spack will compare the commit to tags in the git repository to understand
-   what versions it is ahead of or behind.
-
-7. **Override local config and cache directories**
-   You can now set `SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG` to disable the `~/.spack` and
-   `/etc/spack` configuration scopes. `SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH` allows you to
-   move caches out of `~/.spack`, as well (#27022, #26735). This addresses
-   common problems where users could not isolate CI environments from local
-   configuration.
-
-8. **Improvements to Spack Containerize**
-   For added reproducibility, you can now pin the Spack version used by
-   `spack containerize` (#21910). The container build will only build
-   with the Spack version pinned at build recipe creation instead of the
-   latest Spack version.
-
-9. **New commands for dealing with tags**
-   The `spack tags` command allows you to list tags on packages (#26136), and you
-   can list tests and filter tags with `spack test list` (#26842).
-

-:: This file is part of Spack and sets up the spack environment for batch,
-:: This includes environment modules and lmod support,

-:: This is a wrapper around the spack command that forwards calls to
-:: 'spack load' and 'spack unload' to shell functions.  This in turn
-:: allows them to be used to invoke environment modules functions.
-::
-:: 'spack load' is smarter than just 'load' because it converts its
-:: arguments into a unique Spack spec that is then passed to module
-:: commands.  This allows the user to use packages without knowing all
-:: their installation details.
-::
-:: e.g., rather than requiring a full spec for libelf, the user can type:
-::
-::     spack load libelf
-::
-:: This will first find the available libelf module file and use a
-:: matching one.  If there are two versions of libelf, the user would
-:: need to be more specific, e.g.:
-::
-::     spack load libelf@0.8.13
-::
-:: This is very similar to how regular spack commands work and it
-:: avoids the need to come up with a user-friendly naming scheme for
-:: spack module files.

+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
+    abigail                  : 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:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ spack analyze run zlib
+    ==> Error: zlib matches multiple packages.
+      Matching packages:
+        fz2bs56 zlib@1.2.11%gcc@7.5.0 arch=linux-ubuntu18.04-skylake
+        sl7m27m zlib@1.2.11%gcc@9.3.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-skylake
+      Use a more specific spec.
+
+
+We can then specify the spec version that we want to analyze:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ spack analyze run zlib/fz2bs56
+
+If you don't provide any specific analyzer names, by default all analyzers 
+(shown in the ``list-analyzers`` subcommand list) will be run. If an analyzer does not
+have any result, it will be skipped. For example, here is a result running for
+zlib:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ ls ~/.spack/analyzers/linux-ubuntu20.04-skylake/gcc-9.3.0/zlib-1.2.11-sl7m27mzkbejtkrajigj3a3m37ygv4u2/

+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
+
+    $ spack analyze --monitor wget
+    ...
+    ==> Sending result for wget bin/wget to monitor.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Version specifier
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-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.
+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.
 
-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
+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.

 one version is less than another are discussed in the developer guide.

+
+Several things have happened here.  The user requested that
+``py-numpy`` be activated in the ``python`` installation it was built
+with.  Spack knows that ``py-numpy`` depends on ``py-nose`` and
+``py-setuptools``, so it activated those packages first.  Finally,
+once all dependencies were activated in the ``python`` installation,
+``py-numpy`` was activated as well.
+

+
+Now, when a user runs python, ``numpy`` will be available for import
+*without* the user having to explicitly load it.  ``python@2.7.8`` now
+acts like a system Python installation with ``numpy`` installed inside
+of it.
+
+Spack accomplishes this by symbolically linking the *entire* prefix of
+the ``py-numpy`` package into the prefix of the ``python`` package.  To the
+python interpreter, it looks like ``numpy`` is installed in the
+``site-packages`` directory.
+
+The only limitation of global activation is that you can only have a *single*
+version of an extension activated at a time.  This is because multiple
+versions of the same extension would conflict if symbolically linked
+into the same prefix.  Users who want a different version of a package
+can still get it by using environment modules or views, but they will have to
+explicitly load their preferred version.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+``spack activate --force``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If, for some reason, you want to activate a package *without* its
+dependencies, you can use ``spack activate --force``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack activate --force py-numpy
+   ==> Activated extension py-numpy@1.9.1%gcc@4.4.7 arch=linux-debian7-x86_64-66733244 for python@2.7.8%gcc@4.4.7.
+
+.. _cmd-spack-deactivate:
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+``spack deactivate``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We've seen how activating an extension can be used to set up a default
+version of a Python module.  Obviously, you may want to change that at
+some point.  ``spack deactivate`` is the command for this.  There are
+several variants:
+
+* ``spack deactivate <extension>`` will deactivate a single
+  extension.  If another activated extension depends on this one,
+  Spack will warn you and exit with an error.
+* ``spack deactivate --force <extension>`` deactivates an extension
+  regardless of packages that depend on it.
+* ``spack deactivate --all <extension>`` deactivates an extension and
+  all of its dependencies.  Use ``--force`` to disregard dependents.
+* ``spack deactivate --all <extendee>`` deactivates *all* activated
+  extensions of a package.  For example, to deactivate *all* python
+  extensions, use:
+
+  .. code-block:: console
+
+     $ spack deactivate --all python

-
-You can check what is installed in the bootstrapping store at any time using:

-Enabling and disabling bootstrapping methods
---------------------------------------------
-
-Bootstrapping is always performed by trying the methods listed by:
-
-.. command-output:: spack bootstrap list
-
-in the order they appear, from top to bottom. By default Spack is
-configured to try first bootstrapping from pre-built binaries and to
-fall-back to bootstrapping from sources if that failed.
-
-If need be, you can disable bootstrapping altogether by running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap disable
-
-in which case it's your responsibility to ensure Spack runs in an
-environment where all its prerequisites are installed. You can
-also configure Spack to skip certain bootstrapping methods by disabling
-them specifically:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap disable github-actions
-   ==> "github-actions" is now disabled and will not be used for bootstrapping
-
-tells Spack to skip trying to bootstrap from binaries. To add the "github-actions" method back you can:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap enable github-actions
-
-There is also an option to reset the bootstrapping configuration to Spack's defaults:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap reset
-   ==> Bootstrapping configuration is being reset to Spack's defaults. Current configuration will be lost.
-   Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

-----------------------------------------
-Creating a mirror for air-gapped systems
-----------------------------------------
-
-Spack's default configuration for bootstrapping relies on the user having
-access to the internet, either to fetch pre-compiled binaries or source tarballs.
-Sometimes though Spack is deployed on air-gapped systems where such access is denied.
-
-To help with similar situations Spack has a command that recreates, in a local folder
-of choice, a mirror containing the source tarballs and/or binary packages needed for
-bootstrapping.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap mirror --binary-packages /opt/bootstrap

-   ==> Adding "patchelf@0.13.1:0.13.99 %apple-clang target=x86_64" and dependencies to the mirror at /opt/bootstrap/local-mirror
-   ==> Adding binary packages from "https://github.com/alalazo/spack-bootstrap-mirrors/releases/download/v0.1-rc.2/bootstrap-buildcache.tar.gz" to the mirror at /opt/bootstrap/local-mirror
-
-   To register the mirror on the platform where it's supposed to be used run the following command(s):
-     % spack bootstrap add --trust local-sources /opt/bootstrap/metadata/sources
-     % spack bootstrap add --trust local-binaries /opt/bootstrap/metadata/binaries
-
-
-This command needs to be run on a machine with internet access and the resulting folder
-has to be moved over to the air-gapped system. Once the local sources are added using the
-commands suggested at the prompt, they can be used to bootstrap Spack.

+Concretization Preferences
+--------------------------
 
-``packages.yaml`` gives the concretizer preferences for specific packages,
-but you can also use ``concretizer.yaml`` to customize aspects of the
-algorithm it uses to select the dependencies you install:
-
-.. literalinclude:: _spack_root/etc/spack/defaults/concretizer.yaml
-   :language: yaml
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Reuse already installed packages
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``reuse`` attribute controls whether Spack will prefer to use installed packages (``true``), or
-whether it will do a "fresh" installation and prefer the latest settings from
-``package.py`` files and ``packages.yaml`` (``false``).
-You can use:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack install --reuse <spec>
-
-to enable reuse for a single installation, and you can use:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   spack install --fresh <spec>
-
-to do a fresh install if ``reuse`` is enabled by default.
-``reuse: true`` is the default.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Selection of the target microarchitectures
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The options under the ``targets`` attribute control which targets are considered during a solve.
-Currently the options in this section are only configurable from the ``concretizer.yaml`` file
-and there are no corresponding command line arguments to enable them for a single solve.
-
-The ``granularity`` option can take two possible values: ``microarchitectures`` and ``generic``.
-If set to:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   concretizer:
-     targets:
-       granularity: microarchitectures
-
-Spack will consider all the microarchitectures known to ``archspec`` to label nodes for
-compatibility. If instead the option is set to:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   concretizer:
-     targets:
-       granularity: generic
-
-Spack will consider only generic microarchitectures. For instance, when running on an
-Haswell node, Spack will consider ``haswell`` as the best target in the former case and
-``x86_64_v3`` as the best target in the latter case.
-
-The ``host_compatible`` option is a Boolean option that determines whether or not the
-microarchitectures considered during the solve are constrained to be compatible with the
-host Spack is currently running on. For instance, if this option is set to ``true``, a
-user cannot concretize for ``target=icelake`` while running on an Haswell node.
-
-.. _package-requirements:
-
---------------------
-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'
-
-With the configuration above the only allowed ``mpi`` provider is ``mvapich2 %gcc``.
-
-Requirements on the virtual spec and on the specific provider are both applied, if
-present. For instance with a configuration like:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   packages:
-     mpi:
-       require: 'mvapich2 %gcc'
-     mvapich2:
-       require: '~cuda'
-
-you will use ``mvapich2~cuda %gcc`` as an ``mpi`` provider.
-
-.. _package-preferences:
-

-Package Preferences
--------------------
-
-In some cases package requirements can be too strong, and package
-preferences are the better option. Package preferences do not impose

-The CachedCMakePackage base class is used for CMake-based workflows
-that create a CMake cache file prior to running ``cmake``. This is
-useful for packages with arguments longer than the system limit, and
-for reproducibility.
-
-The documentation for this class assumes that the user is familiar with
-the ``CMakePackage`` class from which it inherits. See the documentation
-for :ref:`CMakePackage <cmakepackage>`.
-
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``CachedCMakePackage`` base class comes with the following phases:
-
-#. ``initconfig`` - generate the CMake cache file
-#. ``cmake`` - generate the Makefile
-#. ``build`` - build the package
-#. ``install`` - install the package
-
-By default, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ mkdir spack-build
-   $ cd spack-build
-   $ cat << EOF > name-arch-compiler@version.cmake
-   # Write information on compilers and dependencies
-   # includes information on mpi and cuda if applicable
-   $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/installation/prefix -C name-arch-compiler@version.cmake
-   $ make
-   $ make test  # optional
-   $ make install
-
-The ``CachedCMakePackage`` class inherits from the ``CMakePackage``
-class, and accepts all of the same options and adds all of the same
-flags to the ``cmake`` command. Similar to the ``CMakePAckage`` class,
-you may need to add a few arguments yourself, and the
-``CachedCMakePackage`` provides the same interface to add those
-flags.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Adding entries to the CMake cache
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In addition to adding flags to the ``cmake`` command, you may need to
-add entries to the CMake cache in the ``initconfig`` phase. This can
-be done by overriding one of four methods:
-
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_compiler_entries``
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_mpi_entries``
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_hardware_entries``
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_package_entries``
-
-Each of these methods returns a list of CMake cache strings. The
-distinction between these methods is merely to provide a
-well-structured and legible cmake cache file -- otherwise, entries
-from each of these methods are handled identically.
-
-Spack also provides convenience methods for generating CMake cache
-entries. These methods are available at module scope in every Spack
-package. Because CMake parses boolean options, strings, and paths
-differently, there are three such methods:
-
-#. ``cmake_cache_option``
-#. ``cmake_cache_string``
-#. ``cmake_cache_path``
-
-These methods each accept three parameters -- the name of the CMake
-variable associated with the entry, the value of the entry, and an
-optional comment -- and return strings in the appropriate format to be
-returned from any of the ``initconfig*`` methods. Additionally, these
-methods may return comments beginning with the ``#`` character.
-
-A typical usage of these methods may look something like this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   def initconfig_mpi_entries(self)
-       # Get existing MPI configurations
-       entries = super(self, Foo).initconfig_mpi_entries()
-
-       # The existing MPI configurations key on whether ``mpi`` is in the spec
-       # This spec has an MPI variant, and we need to enable MPI when it is on.
-       # This hypothetical package controls MPI with the ``FOO_MPI`` option to
-       # cmake.
-       if '+mpi' in self.spec:
-           entries.append(cmake_cache_option('FOO_MPI', True, "enable mpi"))
-       else:
-           entries.append(cmake_cache_option('FOO_MPI', False, "disable mpi"))
-
-   def initconfig_package_entries(self):
-       # Package specific options
-       entries = []
-
-       entries.append('#Entries for build options')
-
-       bar_on = '+bar' in self.spec
-       entries.append(cmake_cache_option('FOO_BAR', bar_on, 'toggle bar'))
-
-       entries.append('#Entries for dependencies')
-
-       if self.spec['blas'].name == 'baz':  # baz is our blas provider
-       entries.append(cmake_cache_string('FOO_BLAS', 'baz', 'Use baz'))
-       entries.append(cmake_cache_path('BAZ_PREFIX', self.spec['baz'].prefix))

-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The following default arguments are controlled by Spack:
-
-
-``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX``
-------------------------
-
-Is set to the the package's install directory.
-
-
-``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH``
----------------------
-
-CMake finds dependencies through calls to ``find_package()``, ``find_program()``,
-``find_library()``, ``find_file()``, and ``find_path()``, which use a list of search
-paths from ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH``. Spack sets this variable to a list of prefixes of the
-spec's transitive dependencies.
-
-For troubleshooting cases where CMake fails to find a dependency, add the
-``--debug-find`` flag to ``cmake_args``.
-
-``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE``
---------------------
-
-Every CMake-based package accepts a ``-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` flag to
-dictate which level of optimization to use. In order to ensure
-uniformity across packages, the ``CMakePackage`` base class adds
-a variant to control this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   variant('build_type', default='RelWithDebInfo',
-           description='CMake build type',
-           values=('Debug', 'Release', 'RelWithDebInfo', 'MinSizeRel'))
-
-However, not every CMake package accepts all four of these options.
-Grep the ``CMakeLists.txt`` file to see if the default values are
-missing or replaced. For example, the
-`dealii <https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/dealii/package.py>`_
-package overrides the default variant with:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   variant('build_type', default='DebugRelease',
-           description='The build type to build',
-           values=('Debug', 'Release', 'DebugRelease'))
-
-For more information on ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE``, see:
-https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.html
-
-
-``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` and ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=ON``
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-CMake uses different RPATHs during the build and after installation, so that executables
-can locate the libraries they're linked to during the build, and installed executables
-do not have RPATHs to build directories. In Spack, we have to make sure that RPATHs are
-set properly after installation.
-
-Spack sets ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` to a list of ``<prefix>/lib`` or ``<prefix>/lib64``
-directories of the spec's link-type dependencies. Apart from that, it sets
-``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=ON``, which should add RPATHs for directories of
-linked libraries not in the directories covered by ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH``.
-
-Usually it's enough to set only ``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=ON``, but the
-reason to provide both options is that packages may dynamically open shared libraries,
-which CMake cannot detect. In those cases, the RPATHs from ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` are
-used as search paths.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Some packages provide stub libraries, which contain an interface for linking without
-   an implementation. When using such libraries, it's best to override the option
-   ``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=OFF`` in ``cmake_args``, so that stub libraries
-   are not used at runtime.

-#. ``preprocess`` - adjust sources or rockspec to fix build
-#. ``install`` - install the project
-
-By default, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   # If the archive is a source rock
-   $ luarocks unpack <archive>.src.rock
-   $ # preprocess is a noop by default
-   $ luarocks make <name>.rockspec
-
-
-Any of these phases can be overridden in your package as necessary.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Important files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Packages that use the Lua/LuaRocks build system can be identified by the
-presence of a ``*.rockspec`` file in their sourcetree, or can be fetched as
-a source rock archive (``.src.rock``). This file declares things like build
-instructions and dependencies, the ``.src.rock`` also contains all code.
-
-It is common for the rockspec file to list the lua version required in
-a dependency. The LuaPackage class adds appropriate dependencies on a Lua
-implementation, but it is a good idea to specify the version required with
-a ``depends_on`` statement.  The block normally will be a table definition like
-this:
-
-.. code-block:: lua
-
-   dependencies = {
-      "lua >= 5.1",
-   }
-
-The LuaPackage class supports source repositories and archives containing
-a rockspec and directly downloading source rock files.  It *does not* support
-downloading dependencies listed inside a rockspec, and thus does not support
-directly downloading a rockspec as an archive.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Build system dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-All base dependencies are added by the build system, but LuaRocks is run to
-avoid downloading extra Lua dependencies during build.  If the package needs
-Lua libraries outside the standard set, they should be added as dependencies.
-
-To specify a Lua version constraint but allow all lua implementations, prefer
-to use ``depends_on("lua-lang@5.1:5.1.99")`` to express any 5.1 compatible
-version. If the package requires LuaJit rather than Lua,
-a ``depends_on("luajit")`` should be used to ensure a LuaJit distribution is
-used instead of the Lua interpreter. Alternately, if only interpreted Lua will
-work ``depends_on("lua")`` will express that.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Passing arguments to luarocks make
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you need to pass any arguments to the ``luarocks make`` call, you can
-override the ``luarocks_args`` method like so:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def luarocks_args(self):
-        return ['flag1', 'flag2']
-
-One common use of this is to override warnings or flags for newer compilers, as in:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def luarocks_args(self):
-        return ["CFLAGS='-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration'"]
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-External documentation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-
-Unlike Python, Racket currently on supports two installation scopes for packages, user
-or system, and keeps a registry of installed packages at each scope in its configuration files.
-This means we can't simply compose a "``RACKET_PATH``" environment variable listing all of the
-places packages are installed, and update this at will.
-
-Unfortunately this means that all currently installed packages which extend Racket via ``raco pkg install``
-are accessible whenever Racket is accessible.
-
-Additionally, because Spack does not implement uninstall hooks, uninstalling a Spack  ``rkt-`` package
-will have no effect on the ``raco`` installed packages visible to your Racket installation.
-Instead, you must manually run ``raco pkg remove`` to keep the two package managers in a mutually
-consistent state.

-
------------------------
-``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"]
-
-----------------------
-``install_status``
-----------------------
-
-When set to ``true``, Spack will show information about its current progress
-as well as the current and total package numbers. Progress is shown both
-in the terminal title and inline. Setting it to ``false`` will not show any
-progress information.
-
-To work properly, this requires your terminal to reset its title after
-Spack has finished its work, otherwise Spack's status information will
-remain in the terminal's title indefinitely. Most terminals should already
-be set up this way and clear Spack's status information.

-Overriding Local Configuration
-------------------------------
-
-Spack's ``system`` and ``user`` scopes provide ways for administrators and users to set
-global defaults for all Spack instances, but for use cases where one wants a clean Spack
-installation, these scopes can be undesirable. For example, users may want to opt out of
-global system configuration, or they may want to ignore their own home directory
-settings when running in a continuous integration environment.
-
-Spack also, by default, keeps various caches and user data in ``~/.spack``, but
-users may want to override these locations.
-
-Spack provides three environment variables that allow you to override or opt out of
-configuration locations:
-
-* ``SPACK_USER_CONFIG_PATH``: Override the path to use for the
-  ``user`` scope (``~/.spack`` by default).
-* ``SPACK_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH``: Override the path to use for the
-  ``system`` scope (``/etc/spack`` by default).
-* ``SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG``: set this environment variable to completely disable
-  **both** the system and user configuration directories. Spack will only consider its
-  own defaults and ``site`` configuration locations.
-
-And one that allows you to move the default cache location:
-
-* ``SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH``: Override the default path to use for user data
-  (misc_cache, tests, reports, etc.)
-
-With these settings, if you want to isolate Spack in a CI environment, you can do this::
-
-  export SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG=true
-  export SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH=/tmp/spack

-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
-   ├── data
-   └── templates
-       └── container
-           └── CustomDockerfile
-

-     container:
-       format: docker
-       depfile: true
-       template: container/CustomDockerfile
-
-The template extension can override two blocks, named ``build_stage`` and ``final_stage``, similarly to
-the example below:
-
-.. code-block::
