stage: add $instance path component

Separate spack instances installing to separate install trees can fight
over the same stage directory because we do not currently unique stage
paths by instance.

- [x] add a new `$instance` substitution that gives an 8-digit hash
      unique to the spack instance
- [x] make the default stage directory use `$instance`

- [x] rework `spack.util.path.substitute_config_variables()` so that
      expensive operations like hashing are done lazily, not at module
      load time.

-# 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.
-

-
-# 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

-# 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).
-

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Using Extensions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-The recommended way of working with extensions such as ``py-numpy``
-above is through :ref:`Environments <environments>`. For example,
-the following creates an environment in the current working directory
-with a filesystem view in the ``./view`` directory:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack env create --with-view view --dir .
-   $ spack -e . add py-numpy
-   $ spack -e . concretize
-   $ spack -e . install
-
-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
-
-See :ref:`environments` for a more in-depth description of Spack
-environments and customizations to views.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Using ``spack load``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-A more traditional way of using Spack and extensions is ``spack load``
-(requires :ref:`shell-support`). This will add the extension to ``PYTHONPATH``
-in your current shell, and Python itself will be available in the ``PATH``:
+There are four ways to get ``numpy`` working in Python.  The first is
+to use :ref:`shell-support`.  You can simply ``load`` the extension,
+and it will be added to the ``PYTHONPATH`` in your current shell:
 
 .. code-block:: console
 
+   $ spack load python
    $ spack load py-numpy
-   $ python
-   >>> import numpy
 
-The loaded packages can be checked using ``spack find --loaded``
+Now ``import numpy`` will succeed for as long as you keep your current
+session open.
 
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Loading Extensions via Modules
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-Apart from ``spack env activate`` and ``spack load``, you can load numpy
-through your environment modules (using ``environment-modules`` or
-``lmod``). This will also add the extension to the ``PYTHONPATH`` in
-your current shell.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Activating Extensions in a View
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Another way to use extensions is to create a view, which merges the
+python installation along with the extensions into a single prefix.
+See :ref:`filesystem-views` for a more in-depth description of views and
+:ref:`cmd-spack-view` for usage of the ``spack view`` command.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Activating Extensions Globally
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As an alternative to creating a merged prefix with Python and its extensions,
+and prior to support for views, Spack has provided a means to install the
+extension into the Spack installation prefix for the extendee. This has
+typically been useful since extendable packages typically search their own
+installation path for addons by default.
+
+Global activations are performed with the ``spack activate`` command:
+
+.. _cmd-spack-activate:
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+``spack activate``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack activate 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.
+
+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.
+
+If we run ``spack extensions`` again, we now see the three new
+packages listed as activated:
+

+
+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.

+
+We've seen how activating an extension can be used to set up a default

+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

 Build caches are created via:

-provided binary cache, which can be a local directory or a remote URL.

-Here is an example where a build cache is created in a local directory named

-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.

-Concretizer options

+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.
-
-The package requirements configuration is specified in ``packages.yaml``
-keyed by package name:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   packages:
-     libfabric:
-       require: "@1.13.2"
-     openmpi:
-       require:
-       - any_of: ["~cuda", "%gcc"]
-     mpich:
-      require:
-      - one_of: ["+cuda", "+rocm"]
-
-Requirements are expressed using Spec syntax (the same as what is provided
-to ``spack install``). In the simplest case, you can specify attributes
-that you always want the package to have by providing a single spec to
-``require``; in the above example, ``libfabric`` will always build
-with version 1.13.2.
-
-You can provide a more-relaxed constraint and allow the concretizer to
-choose between a set of options using ``any_of`` or ``one_of``:
-
-* ``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+cuda%gcc``,
-  ``openmpi~cuda%clang`` or ``openmpi~cuda%gcc`` (in the last case,
-  note that both specs in the ``any_of`` for ``openmpi`` are
-  satisfied).
-* ``one_of`` is also a list of specs, and the final concretized spec
-  must match exactly one of them.  In the above example, that means
-  you could build ``mpich+cuda`` or ``mpich+rocm`` but not
-  ``mpich+cuda+rocm`` (note the current package definition for
-  ``mpich`` already includes a conflict, so this is redundant but
-  still demonstrates the concept).
-
-.. 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).
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-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
-constraints on packages for particular versions or variants values,
-they rather only set defaults -- the concretizer is free to change
-them if it must due to other constraints. Also note that package
-preferences are of lower priority than reuse of already installed
-packages.

-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.

+   You are right to ask: "Why on earth is that necessary?" [fn8]_.
+   The answer lies in Spack striving for strict compiler consistency.
+   Consider what happens without such a pre-declared compiler stub:
+   Say, you ask Spack to install a particular version
+   ``intel-parallel-studio@edition.V``.  Spack will apply an unrelated compiler
+   spec to concretize and install your request, resulting in
+   ``intel-parallel-studio@edition.V %X``. That compiler ``%X`` is not going to
+   be the version that this new package itself provides. Rather, it would
+   typically be ``%gcc@...`` in a default Spack installation or possibly indeed
+   ``%intel@...``, but at a version that precedes ``V``.
 
-   The reason for this stub is that ``intel-parallel-studio`` also provides the
-   ``mpi`` and ``mkl`` packages and when concretizing a spec, Spack ensures
-   strong consistency of the used compiler across all dependencies:  [fn8]_.
-   Installing a package ``foo +mkl %intel`` will make Spack look for a package
-   ``mkl %intel``, which can be provided by ``intel-parallel-studio+mkl %intel``,
-   but not by ``intel-parallel-studio+mkl %gcc``.
+   The problem comes to the fore as soon as you try to use any virtual ``mkl``
+   or ``mpi`` packages that you would expect to now be provided by
+   ``intel-parallel-studio@edition.V``.  Spack will indeed see those virtual
+   packages, but only as being tied to the compiler that the package
+   ``intel-parallel-studio@edition.V`` was concretized with *at installation*.
+   If you were to install a client package with the new compilers now available
+   to you, you would naturally run ``spack install foo +mkl %intel@V``, yet
+   Spack will either complain about ``mkl%intel@V`` being missing (because it
+   only knows about ``mkl%X``) or it will go and attempt to install *another
+   instance* of ``intel-parallel-studio@edition.V %intel@V`` so as to match the
+   compiler spec ``%intel@V`` that you gave for your client package ``foo``.
+   This will be unexpected and will quickly get annoying because each
+   reinstallation takes up time and extra disk space.
 
-   Failure to do so may result in additional installations of ``mkl``, ``intel-mpi`` or
-   even ``intel-parallel-studio`` as dependencies for other packages.
+   To escape this trap, put the compiler stub declaration shown here in place,
+   then use that pre-declared compiler spec to install the actual package, as
+   shown next.  This approach works because during installation only the
+   package's own self-sufficient installer will be used, not any compiler.

-The ``Lua`` build-system is a helper for the common case of Lua packages that provide
-a rockspec file.  This is not meant to take a rock archive, but to build
-a source archive or repository that provides a rockspec, which should cover
-most lua packages. In the case a Lua package builds by Make rather than
-luarocks, prefer MakefilePackage.
-
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``LuaBuilder`` and `LuaPackage`` base classes come with the following phases:
-
-#. ``unpack`` - if using a rock, unpacks the rock and moves into the source directory
-#. ``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'"]

-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"]
-
-----------------------
-``terminal_title``
-----------------------
-
-By setting this option to ``true``, Spack will update the terminal's title to
-provide information about its current progress as well as the current and
-total package numbers.
-
-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

-Writing Hooks
--------------
-
-A hook is a callback that makes it easy to design functions that run
-for different events. We do this by way of defining hook types, and then
-inserting them at different places in the spack code base. Whenever a hook
-type triggers by way of a function call, we find all the hooks of that type,
-and run them.
-
-Spack defines hooks by way of a module at ``lib/spack/spack/hooks`` where we can define
-types of hooks in the ``__init__.py``, and then python files in that folder
-can use hook functions. The files are automatically parsed, so if you write
-a new file for some integration (e.g., ``lib/spack/spack/hooks/myintegration.py``
-you can then write hook functions in that file that will be automatically detected,
-and run whenever your hook is called. This section will cover the basic kind
-of hooks, and how to write them.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Types of Hooks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The following hooks are currently implemented to make it easy for you,
-the developer, to add hooks at different stages of a spack install or similar.
-If there is a hook that you would like and is missing, you can propose to add a new one.
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""
-``pre_install(spec)``
-"""""""""""""""""""""
-
-A ``pre_install`` hook is run within an install subprocess, directly before
-the install starts. It expects a single argument of a spec, and is run in
-a multiprocessing subprocess. Note that if you see ``pre_install`` functions associated with packages these are not hooks
-as we have defined them here, but rather callback functions associated with
-a package install.
-
-
-""""""""""""""""""""""
-``post_install(spec)``
-""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-A ``post_install`` hook is run within an install subprocess, directly after
-the install finishes, but before the build stage is removed. If you
-write one of these hooks, you should expect it to accept a spec as the only
-argument. This is run in a multiprocessing subprocess. This ``post_install`` is
-also seen in packages, but in this context not related to the hooks described
-here.
-
-
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_install_start(spec)``
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-This hook is run at the beginning of ``lib/spack/spack/installer.py``,
-in the install function of a ``PackageInstaller``,
-and importantly is not part of a build process, but before it. This is when
-we have just newly grabbed the task, and are preparing to install. If you
-write a hook of this type, you should provide the spec to it.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def on_install_start(spec):
-        """On start of an install, we want to...
-        """
-        print('on_install_start')
-
-
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_install_success(spec)``
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-This hook is run on a successful install, and is also run inside the build
-process, akin to ``post_install``. The main difference is that this hook
-is run outside of the context of the stage directory, meaning after the
-build stage has been removed and the user is alerted that the install was
-successful. If you need to write a hook that is run on success of a particular
-phase, you should use ``on_phase_success``.
-
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_install_failure(spec)``
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-This hook is run given an install failure that happens outside of the build
-subprocess, but somewhere in ``installer.py`` when something else goes wrong.
-If you need to write a hook that is relevant to a failure within a build
-process, you would want to instead use ``on_phase_failure``.
-
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_install_cancel(spec)``
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-The same, but triggered if a spec install is cancelled for any reason.
-
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_phase_success(pkg, phase_name, log_file)``
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-This hook is run within the install subprocess, and specifically when a phase
-successfully finishes. Since we are interested in the package, the name of
-the phase, and any output from it, we require:
-
- - **pkg**: the package variable, which also has the attached spec at ``pkg.spec``
- - **phase_name**: the name of the phase that was successful (e.g., configure)
- - **log_file**: the path to the file with output, in case you need to inspect or otherwise interact with it.
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_phase_error(pkg, phase_name, log_file)``
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-In the case of an error during a phase, we might want to trigger some event
-with a hook, and this is the purpose of this particular hook. Akin to
-``on_phase_success`` we require the same variables - the package that failed,
-the name of the phase, and the log file where we might find errors.
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Adding a New Hook Type
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Adding a new hook type is very simple!  In ``lib/spack/spack/hooks/__init__.py``
-you can simply create a new ``HookRunner`` that is named to match your new hook.
-For example, let's say you want to add a new hook called ``post_log_write``
-to trigger after anything is written to a logger. You would add it as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    # pre/post install and run by the install subprocess
-    pre_install = HookRunner('pre_install')
-    post_install = HookRunner('post_install')
-
-    # hooks related to logging
-    post_log_write = HookRunner('post_log_write') # <- here is my new hook!
-
-
-You then need to decide what arguments my hook would expect. Since this is
-related to logging, let's say that you want a message and level. That means
-that when you add a python file to the ``lib/spack/spack/hooks``
-folder with one or more callbacks intended to be triggered by this hook. You might
-use my new hook as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def post_log_write(message, level):
-        """Do something custom with the messsage and level every time we write
-        to the log
-        """
-        print('running post_log_write!')
-
-
-To use the hook, we would call it as follows somewhere in the logic to do logging.
-In this example, we use it outside of a logger that is already defined:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    import spack.hooks
-
-    # We do something here to generate a logger and message
-    spack.hooks.post_log_write(message, logger.level)
-
-
-This is not to say that this would be the best way to implement an integration
-with the logger (you'd probably want to write a custom logger, or you could
-have the hook defined within the logger) but serves as an example of writing a hook.

 If the new release is the **highest** Spack release yet, you should

+      $ git tag --force releases/latest
+      $ git push --tags
+
+   The ``--force`` argument makes ``git`` overwrite the existing
+   ``releases/latest`` tag with the new one.
+
+We also merge each release that we tag as ``releases/latest`` into ``develop``.
+Make sure to do this with a merge commit:
 
 .. code-block:: console
 
-   $ git checkout releases/vX.Y     # vX.Y is the new release's branch
-   $ git tag --force releases/latest
-   $ git push --force --tags

-The ``--force`` argument to ``git tag`` makes ``git`` overwrite the existing
-``releases/latest`` tag with the new one.
+We merge back to ``develop`` because it:
 
+  * updates the version and ``CHANGELOG.md`` on ``develop``.
+  * ensures that your release tag is reachable from the head of
+    ``develop``
+
+We *must* use a real merge commit (via the ``--no-ff`` option) because it
+ensures that the release tag is reachable from the tip of ``develop``.
+This is necessary for ``spack -V`` to work properly -- it uses ``git
+describe --tags`` to find the last reachable tag in the repository and
+reports how far we are from it. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack -V
+   0.14.2-1486-b80d5e74e5
+
+This says that we are at commit ``b80d5e74e5``, which is 1,486 commits
+ahead of the ``0.14.2`` release.
+
+We put this step last in the process because it's best to do it only once
+the release is complete and tagged. If you do it before you've tagged the
+release and later decide you want to tag some later commit, you'll need
+to merge again.
