 Variants

-The names of variants available for a particular package depend on
+Variants are named options associated with a particular package. They are
+optional, as each package must provide default values for each variant it
+makes available. Variants can be specified using
+a flexible parameter syntax ``name=<value>``. For example,
+``spack install mercury debug=True`` will install mercury built with debug
+flags. The names of particular variants available for a package depend on
 what was provided by the package author. ``spack info <package>`` will
 provide information on what build variants are available.
 
-There are different types of variants:
+For compatibility with earlier versions, variants which happen to be
+boolean in nature can be specified by a syntax that represents turning
+options on and off. For example, in the previous spec we could have
+supplied ``mercury +debug`` with the same effect of enabling the debug
+compile time option for the libelf package.
 
-1. Boolean variants. Typically used to enable or disable a feature at
-   compile time. For example, a package might have a ``debug`` variant that
-   can be explicitly enabled with ``+debug`` and disabled with ``~debug``.
-2. Single-valued variants. Often used to set defaults. For example, a package
-   might have a ``compression`` variant that determines the default
-   compression algorithm, which users could set to ``compression=gzip`` or
-   ``compression=zstd``.
-3. Multi-valued variants. A package might have a ``fabrics`` variant that
-   determines which network fabrics to support. Users could set this to
-   ``fabrics=verbs,ofi`` to enable both InfiniBand verbs and OpenFabrics
-   interfaces. The values are separated by commas.
+Depending on the package a variant may have any default value.  For
+``mercury`` here, ``debug`` is ``False`` by default, and we turned it on
+with ``debug=True`` or ``+debug``.  If a variant is ``True`` by default
+you can turn it off by either adding ``-name`` or ``~name`` to the spec.
 
-   The meaning of ``fabrics=verbs,ofi`` is to enable *at least* the specified
-   fabrics, but other fabrics may be enabled as well. If the intent is to
-   enable *only* the specified fabrics, then the ``fabrics:=verbs,ofi``
-   syntax should be used with the ``:=`` operator.
+There are two syntaxes here because, depending on context, ``~`` and
+``-`` may mean different things.  In most shells, the following will
+result in the shell performing home directory substitution:
 
-.. note::
+.. code-block:: sh
 
-   In certain shells, the the ``~`` character is expanded to the home
-   directory. To avoid these issues, avoid whitespace between the package
-   name and the variant:
+   mpileaks ~debug   # shell may try to substitute this!
+   mpileaks~debug    # use this instead
 
-   .. code-block:: sh
+If there is a user called ``debug``, the ``~`` will be incorrectly
+expanded.  In this situation, you would want to write ``libelf
+-debug``.  However, ``-`` can be ambiguous when included after a
+package name without spaces:
 
-      mpileaks ~debug   # shell may try to substitute this!
-      mpileaks~debug    # use this instead
+.. code-block:: sh
 
-   Alternatively, you can use the ``-`` character to disable a variant,
-   but be aware that this requires a space between the package name and
-   the variant:
+   mpileaks-debug     # wrong!
+   mpileaks -debug    # right
 
-   .. code-block:: sh
+Spack allows the ``-`` character to be part of package names, so the
+above will be interpreted as a request for the ``mpileaks-debug``
+package, not a request for ``mpileaks`` built without ``debug``
+options.  In this scenario, you should write ``mpileaks~debug`` to
+avoid ambiguity.
 
-      mpileaks-debug     # wrong: refers to a package named "mpileaks-debug"
-      mpileaks -debug    # right: refers to a package named mpileaks with debug disabled
-
-   As a last resort, ``debug=False`` can also be used to disable a boolean variant.

 Spack allows variants to propagate their value to the package's
 dependency by using ``++``, ``--``, and ``~~`` for boolean variants.

 Spack ensures that all instances of a

-When working deep in the graph it is often desirable to have multiple specs marked

-===============================
-Include Settings (include.yaml)
-===============================
-
-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.)
-
-A ``sha256`` is required for remote file URLs and must be specified as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   include:
-   - path: https://github.com/path/to/raw/config/compilers.yaml
-     sha256: 26e871804a92cd07bb3d611b31b4156ae93d35b6a6d6e0ef3a67871fcb1d258b
-
-Additionally, remote file URLs must link to the **raw** form of the file's
-contents (e.g., `GitHub
-<https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/viewing-and-understanding-files#viewing-or-copying-the-raw-file-content>`_
-or `GitLab
-<https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/repository_files.html#get-raw-file-from-repository>`_).
-
-.. 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
-   update.

-
-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.
