-# v0.16.0 (2020-11-18)
-
-`v0.16.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Major features in this release
-
-1. **New concretizer (experimental)** Our new backtracking concretizer is
-   now in Spack as an experimental feature. You will need to install
-   `clingo@master+python` and set `concretizer: clingo` in `config.yaml`
-   to use it. The original concretizer is not exhaustive and is not
-   guaranteed to find a solution if one exists. We encourage you to use
-   the new concretizer and to report any bugs you find with it. We
-   anticipate making the new concretizer the default and including all
-   required dependencies for it in Spack `v0.17`. For more details, see
-   #19501.
-
-2. **spack test (experimental)** Users can add `test()` methods to their
-   packages to run smoke tests on installations with the new `spack test`
-   command (the old `spack test` is now `spack unit-test`). `spack test`
-   is environment-aware, so you can `spack install` an environment and
-   `spack test run` smoke tests on all of its packages. Historical test
-   logs can be perused with `spack test results`. Generic smoke tests for
-   MPI implementations, C, C++, and Fortran compilers as well as specific
-   smoke tests for 18 packages. This is marked experimental because the
-   test API (`self.run_test()`) is likely to be change, but we encourage
-   users to upstream tests, and we will maintain and refactor any that
-   are added to mainline packages (#15702).
-
-3. **spack develop** New `spack develop` command allows you to develop
-   several packages at once within a Spack environment. Running
-   `spack develop foo@v1` and `spack develop bar@v2` will check
-    out specific versions of `foo` and `bar` into subdirectories, which you
-    can then build incrementally with `spack install ` (#15256).
-
-4. **More parallelism** Spack previously installed the dependencies of a
-   _single_ spec in parallel. Entire environments can now be installed in
-   parallel, greatly accelerating builds of large environments. get
-   parallelism from individual specs. Spack now parallelizes entire
-   environment builds (#18131).
-
-5. **Customizable base images for spack containerize**
-    `spack containerize` previously only output a `Dockerfile` based
-    on `ubuntu`. You may now specify any base image of your choosing (#15028).
-
-6. **more external finding** `spack external find` was added in `v0.15`,
-   but only `cmake` had support. `spack external find` can now find
-   `bison`, `cuda`, `findutils`, `flex`, `git`, `lustre` `m4`, `mpich`,
-   `mvapich2`, `ncurses`, `openmpi`, `perl`, `spectrum-mpi`, `tar`, and
-   `texinfo` on your system and add them automatically to
-   `packages.yaml`.
-
-7. **Support aocc, nvhpc, and oneapi compilers** We are aggressively
-   pursuing support for the newest vendor compilers, especially those for
-   the U.S. exascale and pre-exascale systems. Compiler classes and
-   auto-detection for `aocc`, `nvhpc`, `oneapi` are now in Spack (#19345,
-   #19294, #19330).
-
-## Additional new features of note
-
-* New `spack mark` command can be used to designate packages as explicitly
-  installed, so that `spack gc` will not garbage-collect them (#16662).
-* `install_tree` can be customized with Spack's projection format (#18341)
-* `sbang` now lives in the `install_tree` so that all users can access it (#11598)
-* `csh` and `tcsh` users no longer need to set `SPACK_ROOT` before
-  sourcing `setup-env.csh` (#18225)
-* Spec syntax now supports `variant=*` syntax for finding any package
-  that has a particular variant (#19381).
-* Spack respects `SPACK_GNUPGHOME` variable for custom GPG directories (#17139)
-* Spack now recognizes Graviton chips
-
-## Major refactors
-
-* Use spawn instead of fork on Python >= 3.8 on macOS (#18205)
-* Use indexes for public build caches (#19101, #19117, #19132, #19141,  #19209)
-* `sbang` is an external package now (https://github.com/spack/sbang, #19582)
-* `archspec` is an external package now (https://github.com/archspec/archspec, #19600)
-
-## Deprecations and Removals
-
-* `spack bootstrap` was deprecated in v0.14.0, and has now been removed.
-* `spack setup` is deprecated as of v0.16.0.
-* What was `spack test` is now called `spack unit-test`. `spack test` is
-  now the smoke testing feature in (2) above.
-
-## Bugfixes
-
-Some of the most notable bugfixes in this release include:
-
-* Better warning messages for deprecated syntax in `packages.yaml` (#18013)
-* `buildcache list --allarch` now works properly (#17827)
-* Many fixes and tests for buildcaches and binary relcoation (#15687,
-  *#17455, #17418, #17455, #15687, #18110)
-
-## Package Improvements
-
-Spack now has 5050 total packages, 720 of which were added since `v0.15`.
-
-* ROCm packages (`hip`, `aomp`, more) added by AMD (#19957, #19832, others)
-* Many improvements for ARM support
-* `llvm-flang`, `flang`, and `f18` removed, as `llvm` has real `flang`
-  support since Flang was merged to LLVM mainline
-* Emerging support for `spack external find` and `spack test` in packages.
-
-## Infrastructure
-
-* Major infrastructure improvements to pipelines on `gitlab.spack.io`
-* Support for testing PRs from forks (#19248) is being enabled for all
-  forks to enable rolling, up-to-date binary builds on `develop`
-
-
-# v0.15.4 (2020-08-12)
-
-This release contains one feature addition:
-
-* Users can set `SPACK_GNUPGHOME` to override Spack's GPG path (#17139)
-
-Several bugfixes for CUDA, binary packaging, and `spack -V`:
-
-* CUDA package's `.libs` method searches for `libcudart` instead of `libcuda` (#18000)
-* Don't set `CUDAHOSTCXX` in environments that contain CUDA (#17826)
-* `buildcache create`: `NoOverwriteException` is a warning, not an error (#17832)
-* Fix `spack buildcache list --allarch` (#17884)
-* `spack -V` works with `releases/latest` tag and shallow clones (#17884)
-
-And fixes for GitHub Actions and tests to ensure that CI passes on the
-release branch (#15687, #17279, #17328, #17377, #17732).

 # `sbang`: Run scripts with long shebang lines.
 #
-# Many operating systems limit the length and number of possible
-# arguments in shebang lines, making it hard to use interpreters that are
-# deep in the directory hierarchy or require special arguments.
+# Many operating systems limit the length of shebang lines, making it
+# hard to use interpreters that are deep in the directory hierarchy.
+# `sbang` can run such scripts, either as a shebang interpreter, or
+# directly on the command line.
 #
-# To use, put the long shebang on the second line of your script, and
-# make sbang the interpreter, like this:
+# Usage
+# -----------------------------
+# Suppose you have a script, long-shebang.sh, like this:
 #
-#     #!/bin/sh /path/to/sbang
-#     #!/long/path/to/real/interpreter with arguments
+#     1    #!/very/long/path/to/some/interpreter
+#     2
+#     3    echo "success!"
 #
-# `sbang` will run the real interpreter with the script as its argument.
+# Invoking this script will result in an error on some OS's.  On
+# Linux, you get this:
 #
-# See https://github.com/spack/sbang for more details.
+#     $ ./long-shebang.sh
+#     -bash: ./long: /very/long/path/to/some/interp: bad interpreter:
+#            No such file or directory
+#
+# On Mac OS X, the system simply assumes the interpreter is the shell
+# and tries to run with it, which is likely not what you want.
+#
+#
+# `sbang` on the command line
+# -----------------------------
+# You can use `sbang` in two ways.  The first is to use it directly,
+# from the command line, like this:
+#
+#     $ sbang ./long-shebang.sh
+#     success!
+#
+#
+# `sbang` as the interpreter
+# -----------------------------
+# You can also use `sbang` *as* the interpreter for your script. Put
+# `#!/bin/bash /path/to/sbang` on line 1, and move the original
+# shebang to line 2 of the script:
+#
+#     1    #!/bin/bash /path/to/sbang
+#     2    #!/long/path/to/real/interpreter with arguments
+#     3
+#     4    echo "success!"
+#
+#     $ ./long-shebang.sh
+#     success!
+#
+# On Linux, you could shorten line 1 to `#!/path/to/sbang`, but other
+# operating systems like Mac OS X require the interpreter to be a
+# binary, so it's best to use `sbang` as a `bash` argument.
+# Obviously, for this to work, `sbang` needs to have a short enough
+# path that *it* will run without hitting OS limits.
+#
+# For Lua, scripts the second line can't start with #!, as # is not
+# the comment character in lua (even though lua ignores #! on the
+# *first* line of a script).  So, instrument a lua script like this,
+# using -- instead of # on the second line:
+#
+#     1    #!/bin/bash /path/to/sbang
+#     2    --!/long/path/to/lua with arguments
+#     3
+#     4    print "success!"
+#
+# How it works
+# -----------------------------
+# `sbang` is a very simple bash script. It looks at the first two
+# lines of a script argument and runs the last line starting with
+# `#!`, with the script as an argument. It also forwards arguments.

-=======
-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/
-    spack-analyzer-environment-variables.json
-    spack-analyzer-install-files.json
-    spack-analyzer-libabigail-libz.so.1.2.11.xml
-
-If you want to run a specific analyzer, ask for it with `--analyzer`. Here we run
-spack analyze on libabigail (already installed) _using_ libabigail1
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --analyzer abigail libabigail
-
-
-.. _analyze_monitoring:
-
-----------------------
-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.

-Since we only want to keep one version, we mark everything as implicitly

+Deprecating insecure packages
+-----------------------------
+
+``spack deprecate`` allows for the removal of insecure packages with
+minimal impact to their dependents.
+
+.. warning::
+
+  The ``spack deprecate`` command is designed for use only in
+  extraordinary circumstances. This is a VERY big hammer to be used
+  with care.
+
+The ``spack deprecate`` command will remove one package and replace it
+with another by replacing the deprecated package's prefix with a link
+to the deprecator package's prefix.
+
+.. warning::
+
+  The ``spack deprecate`` command makes no promises about binary
+  compatibility. It is up to the user to ensure the deprecator is
+  suitable for the deprecated package.
+
+Spack tracks concrete deprecated specs and ensures that no future packages
+concretize to a deprecated spec.
+
+The first spec given to the ``spack deprecate`` command is the package
+to deprecate. It is an abstract spec that must describe a single
+installed package. The second spec argument is the deprecator
+spec. By default it must be an abstract spec that describes a single
+installed package, but with the ``-i/--install-deprecator`` it can be
+any abstract spec that Spack will install and then use as the
+deprecator. The ``-I/--no-install-deprecator`` option will ensure
+the default behavior.
+
+By default, ``spack deprecate`` will deprecate all dependencies of the
+deprecated spec, replacing each by the dependency of the same name in
+the deprecator spec. The ``-d/--dependencies`` option will ensure the
+default, while the ``-D/--no-dependencies`` option will deprecate only
+the root of the deprecate spec in favor of the root of the deprecator
+spec.

+The ``spack verify`` command can be used to verify the validity of
+Spack-installed packages any time after installation.
+
+At installation time, Spack creates a manifest of every file in the
+installation prefix. For links, Spack tracks the mode, ownership, and
+destination. For directories, Spack tracks the mode, and
+ownership. For files, Spack tracks the mode, ownership, modification
+time, hash, and size. The Spack verify command will check, for every
+file in each package, whether any of those attributes have changed. It
+will also check for newly added files or deleted files from the
+installation prefix. Spack can either check all installed packages
+using the `-a,--all` or accept specs listed on the command line to
+verify.
+
+The ``spack verify`` command can also verify for individual files that
+they haven't been altered since installation time. If the given file
+is not in a Spack installation prefix, Spack will report that it is
+not owned by any package. To check individual files instead of specs,
+use the ``-f,--files`` option.
+
+Spack installation manifests are part of the tarball signed by Spack
+for binary package distribution. When installed from a binary package,
+Spack uses the packaged installation manifest instead of creating one
+at install time.
+
+The ``spack verify`` command also accepts the ``-l,--local`` option to
+check only local packages (as opposed to those used transparently from
+``upstream`` spack instances) and the ``-j,--json`` option to output
+machine-readable json data for any errors.

-Using installed packages
-------------------------
-
-There are several different ways to use Spack packages once you have
-installed them. As you've seen, spack packages are installed into long
-paths with hashes, and you need a way to get them into your path. The
-easiest way is to use :ref:`spack load <cmd-spack-load>`, which is
-described in the next section.
-
-Some more advanced ways to use Spack packages include:
-
-* :ref:`environments <environments>`, which you can use to bundle a
-  number of related packages to "activate" all at once, and
-* :ref:`environment modules <modules>`, which are commonly used on
-  supercomputing clusters. Spack generates module files for every
-  installation automatically, and you can customize how this is done.
-
-.. _cmd-spack-load:
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-``spack load / unload``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have :ref:`shell support <shell-support>` enabled you can use the
-``spack load`` command to quickly get a package on your ``PATH``.
-
-For example this will add the ``mpich`` package built with ``gcc`` to
-your path:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack install mpich %gcc@4.4.7
-
-   # ... wait for install ...
-
-   $ spack load mpich %gcc@4.4.7
-   $ which mpicc
-   ~/spack/opt/linux-debian7-x86_64/gcc@4.4.7/mpich@3.0.4/bin/mpicc
-
-These commands will add appropriate directories to your ``PATH``,
-``MANPATH``, ``CPATH``, and ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` according to the
-:ref:`prefix inspections <customize-env-modifications>` defined in your
-modules configuration.  When you no longer want to use a package, you
-can type unload or unuse similarly:

-     cd2u6jt libelf@0.8.13%intel@15.0.0 arch=linux-debian7-x86_64
-   Use a more specific spec
-
-You can either type the ``spack load`` command again with a fully
-qualified argument, or you can add just enough extra constraints to
-identify one package.  For example, above, the key differentiator is
-that one ``libelf`` is built with the Intel compiler, while the other
-used ``gcc``.  You could therefore just type:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack load libelf %intel
-
-To identify just the one built with the Intel compiler. If you want to be
-*very* specific, you can load it by its hash. For example, to load the
-first ``libelf`` above, you would run:
-
-.. code-block:: console

-.. warning::
-
-  The ``spack deprecate`` command is designed for use only in
-  extraordinary circumstances. This is a VERY big hammer to be used
-  with care.
-
-The ``spack deprecate`` command will remove one package and replace it
-with another by replacing the deprecated package's prefix with a link
-to the deprecator package's prefix.
-
-.. warning::
-
-  The ``spack deprecate`` command makes no promises about binary
-  compatibility. It is up to the user to ensure the deprecator is
-  suitable for the deprecated package.
-
-Spack tracks concrete deprecated specs and ensures that no future packages
-concretize to a deprecated spec.
-
-The first spec given to the ``spack deprecate`` command is the package
-to deprecate. It is an abstract spec that must describe a single
-installed package. The second spec argument is the deprecator
-spec. By default it must be an abstract spec that describes a single
-installed package, but with the ``-i/--install-deprecator`` it can be
-any abstract spec that Spack will install and then use as the
-deprecator. The ``-I/--no-install-deprecator`` option will ensure
-the default behavior.
-
-By default, ``spack deprecate`` will deprecate all dependencies of the
-deprecated spec, replacing each by the dependency of the same name in
-the deprecator spec. The ``-d/--dependencies`` option will ensure the
-default, while the ``-D/--no-dependencies`` option will deprecate only
-the root of the deprecate spec in favor of the root of the deprecator
-spec.

-``spack deprecate`` can use symbolic links or hard links. The default
-behavior is symbolic links, but the ``-l/--link-type`` flag can take

+Different from other packages, ``CudaPackage`` does not represent a build
+system. Instead its goal is to simplify and unify usage of ``CUDA`` in other
+packages.
 
-You can find source for the package at
-`<https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/lib/spack/spack/build_systems/cuda.py>`__.
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Provided variants and dependencies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-^^^^^^^^
-Variants
-^^^^^^^^
-
-This package provides the following variants:
-
-* **cuda**
-
-  This variant is used to enable/disable building with ``CUDA``. The default
-  is disabled (or ``False``).
-
-* **cuda_arch**
-
-  This variant supports the optional specification of the architecture.
-  Valid values are maintained in the ``cuda_arch_values`` property and
-  are the numeric character equivalent of the compute capability version
-  (e.g., '10' for version 1.0). Each provided value affects associated
-  ``CUDA`` dependencies and compiler conflicts.
-
-  GPUs and their compute capability versions are listed at
-  https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus .
-
-^^^^^^^^^
-Conflicts
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Conflicts are used to prevent builds with known bugs or issues. While
-base ``CUDA`` conflicts have been included with this package, you may
-want to add more for your software.
-
-For example, if your package requires ``cuda_arch`` to be specified when
-``cuda`` is enabled, you can add the following conflict to your package
-to terminate such build attempts with a suitable message:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    conflicts('cuda_arch=none', when='+cuda',
-              msg='CUDA architecture is required')
-
-Similarly, if your software does not support all versions of the property,
-you could add ``conflicts`` to your package for those versions.  For example,
-suppose your software does not work with CUDA compute capability versions
-prior to SM 5.0 (``50``).  You can add the following code to display a
-custom message should a user attempt such a build:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    unsupported_cuda_archs = [
-        '10', '11', '12', '13',
-        '20', '21',
-        '30', '32', '35', '37'
-    ]
-    for value in unsupported_cuda_archs:
-        conflicts('cuda_arch={0}'.format(value), when='+cuda',
-                  msg='CUDA architecture {0} is not supported'.format(value))
-
-^^^^^^^
-Methods
-^^^^^^^
-
-This package provides one custom helper method, which is used to build
-standard CUDA compiler flags.
-
-**cuda_flags**
-
-    This built-in static method returns a list of command line flags 
-    for the chosen ``cuda_arch`` value(s).  The flags are intended to
-    be passed to the CUDA compiler driver (i.e., ``nvcc``).
-
-    This method must be explicitly called when you are creating the
-    arguments for your build in order to use the values.
+``CudaPackage`` provides ``cuda`` variant (default to ``off``) to enable/disable
+``CUDA``, and ``cuda_arch`` variant to optionally specify the architecture.
+It also declares dependencies on the ``CUDA`` package ``depends_on('cuda@...')``
+based on the architecture as well as specifies conflicts for certain compiler versions.
 
 ^^^^^
 Usage
 ^^^^^
 
-This helper package can be added to your package by adding it as a base
-class of your package.  For example, you can add it to your
-:ref:`CMakePackage <cmakepackage>`-based package as follows:
+In order to use it, just add another base class to your package, for example:

-                args.append('-DWITH_CUDA=OFF')
-            ...
-            return args
-
-assuming only the ``WITH_CUDA`` and ``CUDA_FLAGS`` flags are required.
-You will need to customize options as needed for your build.
-
-This example also illustrates how to check for the ``cuda`` variant using
-``self.spec`` and how to retrieve the ``cuda_arch`` variant's value, which
-is a list, using ``self.spec.variants['cuda_arch'].value``.

-lots of examples to choose from to get more ideas for using this package.

-oneAPI packages in Spack
-========================
-
-Spack can install and use the Intel oneAPI products. You may either
-use spack to install the oneAPI tools or use the `Intel
-installers`_. After installation, you may use the tools directly, or
-use Spack to build packages with the tools.
-
-The Spack Python class ``IntelOneapiPackage`` is a base class that is
-used by ``IntelOneapiCompilers``, ``IntelOneapiMkl``,
-``IntelOneapiTbb`` and other classes to implement the oneAPI
-packages. See the :ref:`package-list` for the full list of available
-oneAPI packages or use::
-
-  spack list -d oneAPI
-
-For more information on a specific package, do::
-
-  spack info <package-name>
-
-Intel no longer releases new versions of Parallel Studio, which can be
-used in Spack via the :ref:`intelpackage`. All of its components can
-now be found in oneAPI. 
-
-Examples
-========
-
-Building a Package With icx
----------------------------
-
-In this example, we build patchelf with ``icc`` and ``icx``. The
-compilers are installed with spack.
-
-Install the oneAPI compilers::
-
-  spack install intel-oneapi-compilers
-
-Add the compilers to your ``compilers.yaml`` so spack can use them::
-
-  spack compiler add `spack location -i intel-oneapi-compilers`/compiler/latest/linux/bin/intel64
-  spack compiler add `spack location -i intel-oneapi-compilers`/compiler/latest/linux/bin
-
-Verify that the compilers are available::
-
-  spack compiler list
-
-The ``intel-oneapi-compilers`` package includes 2 families of
-compilers:
-
-* ``intel``: ``icc``, ``icpc``, ``ifort``. Intel's *classic*
-  compilers.
-* ``oneapi``: ``icx``, ``icpx``, ``ifx``. Intel's new generation of
-  compilers based on LLVM.
-
-To build the ``patchelf`` Spack package with ``icc``, do::
-
-  spack install patchelf%intel
-
-To build with with ``icx``, do ::
-
-  spack install patchelf%oneapi
-
-Using oneAPI MPI to Satisfy a Virtual Dependence
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-The ``hdf5`` package works with any compatible MPI implementation. To
-build ``hdf5`` with Intel oneAPI MPI do::
-
-  spack install hdf5 +mpi ^intel-oneapi-mpi
-
-Using an Externally Installed oneAPI
-====================================
-
-Spack can also use oneAPI tools that are manually installed with
-`Intel Installers`_.  The procedures for configuring Spack to use
-external compilers and libraries are different.
-
-Compilers
----------
-
-To use the compilers, add some information about the installation to
-``compilers.yaml``. For most users, it is sufficient to do::
-
-  spack compiler add /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/linux/bin/intel64
-  spack compiler add /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/linux/bin
-
-Adapt the paths above if you did not install the tools in the default
-location. After adding the compilers, using them is the same
-as if you had installed the ``intel-oneapi-compilers`` package.
-Another option is to manually add the configuration to
-``compilers.yaml`` as described in :ref:`Compiler configuration
-<compiler-config>`.
-
-Libraries
----------
-
-If you want Spack to use MKL that you have installed without Spack in
-the default location, then add the following to
-``~/.spack/packages.yaml``, adjusting the version as appropriate::
-
-  intel-oneapi-mkl:
-    externals:
-    - spec: intel-oneapi-mkl@2021.1.1
-      prefix: /opt/intel/oneapi/
-
-
-Using oneAPI Tools Installed by Spack
-=====================================
-
-Spack can be a convenient way to install and configure compilers and
-libaries, even if you do not intend to build a Spack package. If you
-want to build a Makefile project using Spack-installed oneAPI compilers,
-then use spack to configure your environment::
-
-  spack load intel-oneapi-compilers
-
-And then you can build with::
-
-  CXX=icpx make
-
-You can also use Spack-installed libraries. For example::
-
-  spack load intel-oneapi-mkl
-
-Will update your environment CPATH, LIBRARY_PATH, and other
-environment variables for building an application with MKL.

-   This temporary stub is required such that the ``intel-parallel-studio`` package

-   to provide after the installation) rather than an arbitrary system compiler.
-   The paths given in ``cc``, ``cxx``, ``f77``, ``fc`` must exist, but will
-   never be used to build anything during the installation of ``intel-parallel-studio``.
+   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.

-Apache Maven is a general-purpose build system that does not rely
-on Makefiles to build software. It is designed for building and
-managing and Java-based project.
-
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``MavenPackage`` base class comes with the following phases:
-
-#. ``build`` - compile code and package into a JAR file
-#. ``install`` - copy to installation prefix
-
-By default, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ mvn package
-   $ install . <prefix>
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Important files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Maven packages can be identified by the presence of a ``pom.xml`` file.
-This file lists dependencies and other metadata about the project.
-There may also be configuration files in the ``.mvn`` directory.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Build system dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Maven requires the ``mvn`` executable to build the project. It also
-requires Java at both build- and run-time. Because of this, the base
-class automatically adds the following dependencies:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   depends_on('java', type=('build', 'run'))
-   depends_on('maven', type='build')
-
-
-In the ``pom.xml`` file, you may see sections like:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-   <requireJavaVersion>
-      <version>[1.7,)</version>
-   </requireJavaVersion>
-   <requireMavenVersion>
-      <version>[3.5.4,)</version>
-   </requireMavenVersion>
-
-
-This specifies the versions of Java and Maven that are required to
-build the package. See
-https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/maven_version.htm#MAVEN402
-for a description of this version range syntax. In this case, you
-should add:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   depends_on('java@7:', type='build')
-   depends_on('maven@3.5.4:', type='build')
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Passing arguments to the build phase
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The default build and install phases should be sufficient to install
-most packages. However, you may want to pass additional flags to
-the build phase. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   def build_args(self):
-       return [
-           '-Pdist,native',
-           '-Dtar',

-The ``ROCmPackage`` is not a build system but a helper package. Like ``CudaPackage``,
-it provides standard variants, dependencies, and conflicts to facilitate building
-packages using GPUs though for AMD in this case.
-
-You can find the source for this package (and suggestions for setting up your
-``compilers.yaml`` and ``packages.yaml`` files) at
-`<https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/lib/spack/spack/build_systems/rocm.py>`__.
-
-^^^^^^^^
-Variants
-^^^^^^^^
-
-This package provides the following variants:
-
-* **rocm**
-
-  This variant is used to enable/disable building with ``rocm``.  
-  The default is disabled (or ``False``).
-
-* **amdgpu_target**
-
-  This variant supports the optional specification of the AMD GPU architecture.
-  Valid values are the names of the GPUs (e.g., ``gfx701``), which are maintained
-  in the ``amdgpu_targets`` property.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This package defines basic ``rocm`` dependencies, including ``llvm`` and ``hip``.
-
-^^^^^^^^^
-Conflicts
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Conflicts are used to prevent builds with known bugs or issues. This package
-already requires that the ``amdgpu_target`` always be specified for ``rocm``
-builds. It also defines a conflict that prevents builds with an ``amdgpu_target``
-when ``rocm`` is disabled.
-
-Refer to `Conflicts <https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html?highlight=conflicts#conflicts>`__
-for more information on package conflicts.
-
-^^^^^^^
-Methods
-^^^^^^^
-
-This package provides one custom helper method, which is used to build
-standard AMD hip compiler flags.
-
-**hip_flags**
-
-    This built-in static method returns the appropriately formatted
-    ``--amdgpu-target`` build option for ``hipcc``.
-
-    This method must be explicitly called when you are creating the
-    arguments for your build in order to use the values.
-
-^^^^^
-Usage
-^^^^^
-
-This helper package can be added to your package by adding it as a base
-class of your package.  For example, you can add it to your
-:ref:`CMakePackage <cmakepackage>`-based package as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-   :emphasize-lines: 1,3-7,14-25
-
-    class MyRocmPackage(CMakePackage, ROCmPackage):
-        ...
-        # Ensure +rocm and amdgpu_targets are passed to dependencies
-        depends_on('mydeppackage', when='+rocm')
-        for val in ROCmPackage.amdgpu_targets:
-            depends_on('mydeppackage amdgpu_target={0}'.format(val),
-                       when='amdgpu_target={0}'.format(val))
-        ...
-
-        def cmake_args(self):
-            spec = self.spec
-            args = []
-            ...
-            if '+rocm' in spec:
-                # Set up the hip macros needed by the build
-                args.extend([
-                    '-DENABLE_HIP=ON',
-                    '-DHIP_ROOT_DIR={0}'.format(spec['hip'].prefix])
-                rocm_archs = spec.variants['amdgpu_target'].value
-                if 'none' not in rocm_archs:
-                    args.append('-DHIP_HIPCC_FLAGS=--amdgpu-target={0}'
-                                .format(",".join(rocm_archs)))
-            else:
-                # Ensure build with hip is disabled
-                args.append('-DENABLE_HIP=OFF')
-            ...
-            return args
-        ...
-
-assuming only on the ``ENABLE_HIP``, ``HIP_ROOT_DIR``, and ``HIP_HIPCC_FLAGS``
-macros are required to be set and the only dependency needing rocm options
-is ``mydeppackage``. You will need to customize the flags as needed for your
-build.
-
-This example also illustrates how to check for the ``rocm`` variant using
-``self.spec`` and how to retrieve the ``amdgpu_target`` variant's value
-using ``self.spec.variants['amdgpu_target'].value``.
-
-All five packages using ``ROCmPackage`` as of January 2021 also use the
-:ref:`CudaPackage <cudapackage>`. So it is worth looking at those packages
-to get ideas for creating a package that can support both ``cuda`` and
-``rocm``.

-Bioconductor packages
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Bioconductor packages are set up in a similar way to CRAN packages, but there
-are some very important distinctions. Bioconductor packages can be found at:
-https://bioconductor.org/. Bioconductor packages are R packages and so follow
-the same packaging scheme as CRAN packages. What is different is that
-Bioconductor itself is versioned and released. This scheme, using the
-Bioconductor package installer, allows further specification of the minimum
-version of R as well as further restrictions on the dependencies between
-packages than what is possible with the native R packaging system. Spack can
-not replicate these extra features and thus Bioconductor packages in Spack need
-to be managed as a group during updates in order to maintain package
-consistency with Bioconductor itself.
-
-Another key difference is that, while previous versions of packages are
-available, they are not available from a site that can be programmatically set,
-thus a ``list_url`` attribute can not be used. However, each package is also
-available in a git repository, with branches corresponding to each Bioconductor
-release. Thus, it is always possible to retrieve the version of any package
-corresponding to a Bioconductor release simply by fetching the branch that
-corresponds to the Bioconductor release of the package repository. For this
-reason, spack Bioconductor R packages use the git repository, with the commit
-of the respective branch used in the ``version()`` attribute of the package.

-presence of any of the following files:
-
-* ``*.gemspec``
-* ``Rakefile``
-* ``setup.rb`` (not yet supported)
-

-Build system dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-All Ruby packages require Ruby at build and run-time. For this reason,
-the base class contains:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   extends('ruby')
-
-
-The ``*.gemspec`` file may contain something like:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-   required_ruby_version = '>= 2.3.0'
-
-
-This can be added to the Spack package using:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   depends_on('ruby@2.3.0:', type=('build', 'run'))
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Ruby dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-When you install a package with ``gem``, it reads the ``*.gemspec``
-file in order to determine the dependencies of the package.
-If the dependencies are not yet installed, ``gem`` downloads them
-and installs them for you. This may sound convenient, but Spack
-cannot rely on this behavior for two reasons:
-
-#. Spack needs to be able to install packages on air-gapped networks.
-
-   If there is no internet connection, ``gem`` can't download the
-   package dependencies. By explicitly listing every dependency in
-   the ``package.py``, Spack knows what to download ahead of time.
-
-#. Duplicate installations of the same dependency may occur.
-
-   Spack supports *activation* of Ruby extensions, which involves
-   symlinking the package installation prefix to the Ruby installation
-   prefix. If your package is missing a dependency, that dependency
-   will be installed to the installation directory of the same package.
-   If you try to activate the package + dependency, it may cause a
-   problem if that package has already been activated.
-
-For these reasons, you must always explicitly list all dependencies.
-Although the documentation may list the package's dependencies,
-often the developers assume people will use ``gem`` and won't have to
-worry about it. Always check the ``*.gemspec`` file to find the true
-dependencies.
-
-Check for the following clues in the ``*.gemspec`` file:
-
-* ``add_runtime_dependency``
-
-  These packages are required for installation.
-
-* ``add_dependency``
-
-  This is an alias for ``add_runtime_dependency``
-
-* ``add_development_dependency``
-
-  These packages are optional dependencies used for development.
-  They should not be added as dependencies of the package.

 ================

-than just:
+Spack can be an ideal tool to setup images for containers since all the

+building a production image from scratch still requires a lot of
+boilerplate to:

+- Minimize the physical size of the software installed
+- Properly update the system software in the base image
 
-   COPY spack.yaml /environment
-   RUN spack -e /environment install

-Additional actions may be needed to minimize the size of the
-container, or to update the system software that is installed in the base
-image, or to set up a proper entrypoint to run the image. These tasks are

-Setting Base Images
--------------------
-
-The ``images`` subsection is used to select both the image where
-Spack builds the software and the image where the built software
-is installed. This attribute can be set in two different ways and
-which one to use depends on the use case at hand.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Use Official Spack Images From Dockerhub
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To generate a recipe that uses an official Docker image from the
-Spack organization to build the software and the corresponding official OS image
-to install the built software, all the user has to do is specify:
-
-1. An operating system under ``images:os``
-2. A Spack version under ``images:spack``
-
-Any combination of these two values that can be mapped to one of the images
-discussed in :ref:`container_spack_images` is allowed. For instance, the
-following ``spack.yaml``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   spack:
-     specs:
-     - gromacs+mpi
-     - mpich
-
-     container:
-       images:
-         os: centos:7
-         spack: 0.15.4
-
-uses ``spack/centos7:0.15.4``  and ``centos:7`` for the stages where the
-software is respectively built and installed:
-
-.. code-block:: docker
-
-   # Build stage with Spack pre-installed and ready to be used
-   FROM spack/centos7:0.15.4 as builder
-
-   # What we want to install and how we want to install it
-   # is specified in a manifest file (spack.yaml)
-   RUN mkdir /opt/spack-environment \
-   &&  (echo "spack:" \
-   &&   echo "  specs:" \
-   &&   echo "  - gromacs+mpi" \
-   &&   echo "  - mpich" \
-   &&   echo "  concretization: together" \
-   &&   echo "  config:" \
-   &&   echo "    install_tree: /opt/software" \
-   &&   echo "  view: /opt/view") > /opt/spack-environment/spack.yaml
-   [ ... ]
-   # Bare OS image to run the installed executables
-   FROM centos:7
-
-   COPY --from=builder /opt/spack-environment /opt/spack-environment
-   COPY --from=builder /opt/software /opt/software
-   COPY --from=builder /opt/view /opt/view

-
-   ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "--rcfile", "/etc/profile", "-l"]
-
-This method of selecting base images is the simplest of the two, and we advise
-to use it whenever possible. There are cases though where using Spack official
-images is not enough to fit production needs. In these situations users can manually
-select which base image to start from in the recipe, as we'll see next.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Use Custom Images Provided by Users
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Consider, as an example, building a production grade image for a CUDA
-application. The best strategy would probably be to build on top of
-images provided by the vendor and regard CUDA as an external package.
-
-Spack doesn't currently provide an official image with CUDA configured
-this way, but users can build it on their own and then configure the
-environment to explicitly pull it. This requires users to:
-
-1. Specify the image used to build the software under ``images:build``
-2. Specify the image used to install the built software under ``images:final``
-
-A ``spack.yaml`` like the following:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   spack:
-     specs:
-     - gromacs@2019.4+cuda build_type=Release
-     - mpich

-where the base images for both stages are completely custom.

-Writing analyzers
------------------
-
-To write an analyzer, you should add a new python file to the
-analyzers module directory at ``lib/spack/spack/analyzers`` .
-Your analyzer should be a subclass of the :class:`AnalyzerBase <spack.analyzers.analyzer_base.AnalyzerBase>`. For example, if you want
-to add an analyzer class ``Myanalyzer`` you woul write to 
-``spack/analyzers/myanalyzer.py`` and import and 
-use the base as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from .analyzer_base import AnalyzerBase
-
-    class Myanalyzer(AnalyzerBase):
-
-
-Note that the class name is your module file name, all lowercase
-except for the first capital letter. You can  look at other analyzers in 
-that analyzer directory for examples. The guide here will tell you about the basic functions needed.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Analyzer Output Directory
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-By default, when you run ``spack analyze run`` an analyzer output directory will
-be created in your spack user directory in your ``$HOME``. The reason we output here
-is because the install directory might not always be writable. 
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    ~/.spack/
-      analyzers
-      
-Result files will be written here, organized in subfolders in the same structure
-as the package, with each analyzer owning it's own subfolder. for example:
-
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ tree ~/.spack/analyzers/
-    /home/spackuser/.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-libabigail-libz.so.1.2.11.xml 
-
-
-Notice that for the libabigail analyzer, since results are generated per object,
-we honor the object's folder in case there are equivalently named files in 
-different folders. The result files are typically written as json so they can be easily read and  uploaded in a future interaction with a monitor.
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Analyzer Metadata
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Your analyzer is required to have the class attributes ``name``, ``outfile``,
-and ``description``. These are printed to the user with they use the subcommand
-``spack analyze list-analyzers``.  Here is an example.
-As we mentioned above, note that this analyzer would live in a module named
-``libabigail.py`` in the analyzers folder so that the class can be discovered.
-
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class Libabigail(AnalyzerBase):
-
-        name = "libabigail"
-        outfile = "spack-analyzer-libabigail.json"
-        description = "Application Binary Interface (ABI) features for objects"
-
-
-This means that the name and output file should be unique for your analyzer.
-Note that "all" cannot be the name of an analyzer, as this key is used to indicate
-that the user wants to run all analyzers.
-
-.. _analyzer_run_function:
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-An analyzer run Function
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The core of an analyzer is its ``run()`` function, which should accept no
-arguments. You can assume your analyzer has the package spec of interest at ``self.spec``
-and it's up to the run function to generate whatever analysis data you need,
-and then return the object with a key as the analyzer name. The result data
-should be a list of objects, each with a name, ``analyzer_name``, ``install_file``,
-and one of ``value`` or ``binary_value``. The install file should be for a relative
-path, and not the absolute path. For example, let's say we extract a metric called
-``metric`` for ``bin/wget`` using our analyzer ``thebest-analyzer``. 
-We might have data that looks like this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    result = {"name": "metric", "analyzer_name": "thebest-analyzer", "value": "1", "install_file": "bin/wget"}
-
-
-We'd then return it as follows - note that they key is the analyzer name at ``self.name``.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    return {self.name: result}
-
-This will save the complete result to the analyzer metadata folder, as described
-previously. If you want support for adding a different kind of metadata (e.g.,
-not associated with an install file) then the monitor server would need to be updated
-to support this first.
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-An analyzer init Function
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you don't need any extra dependencies or checks, you can skip defining an analyzer
-init function, as the base class will handle it. Typically, it will accept
-a spec, and an optional output directory (if the user does not want the default
-metadata folder for analyzer results). The analyzer init function should call
-it's parent init, and then do any extra checks or validation that are required to
-work. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def __init__(self, spec, dirname=None):
-        super(Myanalyzer, self).__init__(spec, dirname)
-
-        # install extra dependencies, do extra preparation and checks here
-
-
-At the end of the init, you will have available to you:
-
- - **self.spec**: the spec object
- - **self.dirname**: an optional directory name the user as provided at init to save
- - **self.output_dir**: the analyzer metadata directory, where we save by default
- - **self.meta_dir**: the path to the package metadata directory (.spack) if you need it
-
-And can proceed to write your analyzer.
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Saving Analyzer Results
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The analyzer will have ``save_result`` called, with the result object generated
-to save it to the filesystem, and if the user has added the ``--monitor`` flag
-to upload it to a monitor server. If your result follows an accepted result
-format and you don't need to parse it further, you don't need to add this 
-function to your class. However, if your result data is large or otherwise
-needs additional parsing, you can define it. If you define the function, it
-is useful to know about the ``output_dir`` property, which you can join
-with your output file relative path of choice:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    outfile = os.path.join(self.output_dir, "my-output-file.txt")
-
-
-The directory will be provided by the ``output_dir`` property but it won't exist,
-so you should create it:
-
-
-.. code::block:: python
-
-    # Create the output directory
-    if not os.path.exists(self._output_dir):
-        os.makedirs(self._output_dir)
-
-
-If you are generating results that match to specific files in the package
-install directory, you should try to maintain those paths in the case that
-there are equivalently named files in different directories that would
-overwrite one another. As an example of an analyzer with a custom save,
-the Libabigail analyzer saves ``*.xml`` files to the analyzer metadata
-folder in ``run()``, as they are either binaries, or as xml (text) would
-usually be too big to pass in one request. For this reason, the files
-are saved during ``run()`` and the filenames added to the result object,
-and then when the result object is passed back into ``save_result()``,
-we skip saving to the filesystem, and instead read the file and send
-each one (separately) to the monitor:
-
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def save_result(self, result, monitor=None, overwrite=False):
-        """ABI results are saved to individual files, so each one needs to be

-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_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.
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-``on_analyzer_save(pkg, result)``
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-After an analyzer has saved some result for a package, this hook is called,
-and it provides the package that we just ran the analysis for, along with
-the loaded result. Typically, a result is structured to have the name
-of the analyzer as key, and the result object that is defined in detail in
-:ref:`analyzer_run_function`.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def on_analyzer_save(pkg, result):
-        """given a package and a result...
-        """
-        print('Do something extra with a package analysis result here')
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-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.

+Docker for Developers
+=====================
+
+This guide is intended for people who want to use our prepared docker
+environments to work on developing Spack or working on spack packages. It is
+meant to serve as the companion documentation for the :ref:`packaging-guide`.
+
+--------
+Overview

+
+To get started, all you need is the latest version of ``docker``.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ cd share/spack/docker
+    $ source config/ubuntu.bash
+    $ ./run-image.sh
+
+This command should drop you into an interactive shell where you can run spack
+within an isolated docker container running ubuntu.  The copy of spack being
+used should be tied to the working copy of your cloned git repo, so any changes
+you make should be immediately reflected in the running docker container.  Feel
+free to add or modify any packages or to hack on spack, itself.  Your contained
+copy of spack should immediately reflect all changes.
+
+To work within a container running a different linux distro, source one of the
+other environment files under ``config``.

+   $ spack install libelf

+   # For bash/zsh users
+   $ export SPACK_ROOT=/path/to/spack
+   $ . $SPACK_ROOT/share/spack/setup-env.sh
 
-Sourcing these files will put the ``spack`` command in your ``PATH``, set

-shell integration for :ref:`certain commands <packaging-shell-support>`,
-:ref:`environments <environments>`, and :ref:`modules <modules>`. For
-``bash`` and ``zsh``, it also sets up tab completion.
-
-In order to know which directory to add to your ``MODULEPATH``, these scripts
-query the ``spack`` command. On shared filesystems, this can be a bit slow,
-especially if you log in frequently. If you don't use modules, or want to set
-``MODULEPATH`` manually instead, you can set the ``SPACK_SKIP_MODULES``
-environment variable to skip this step and speed up sourcing the file.
-
-If you do not want to use Spack's shell support, you can always just run
-the ``spack`` command directly from ``spack/bin/spack``.
-
-When the ``spack`` command is executed it searches for an appropriate
-Python interpreter to use, which can be explicitly overridden by setting
-the ``SPACK_PYTHON`` environment variable.  When sourcing the appropriate shell
-setup script, ``SPACK_PYTHON`` will be set to the interpreter found at
-sourcing time, ensuring future invocations of the ``spack`` command will
-continue to use the same consistent python version regardless of changes in
-the environment.

+^^^^^^
+
+To use hardware-accelerated rendering from a system-supplied OpenGL driver,
+add something like the following to your ``packages`` configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    packages:
+        opengl:
+            paths:
+                opengl+glx@4.5: /usr

+            providers:
+                gl: [opengl]
+                glx: [opengl]
+
+For `EGL <https://www.khronos.org/egl>` support, or for certain modern drivers,
+OpenGL calls are dispatched dynamically at run time to the hardware graphics
+implementation.  This dynamic dispatch is performed using `libglvnd
+<https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd>`.  In this mode, the graphics library
+(e.g.: opengl) must be built to work with libglvnd.  Applications then link
+against libglvnd instead of the underlying implementation.  Environment
+variables set at run time govern the process by which libglvnd loads the
+underlying implementation and dispatches calls to it.  See `this
+<https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd/issues/177#issuecomment-496562769>` comment
+for details on loading a specific GLX implementation and `this
+<https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd/blob/master/src/EGL/icd_enumeration.md>`
+page for information about EGL ICD enumeration.
+
+This codependency between libglvnd and the underlying implementation is modeled
+in Spack with two packages for libglvnd: libglvnd, which provides libglvnd
+proper; and libglvnd-fe, a bundle package that depends on libglvnd and an
+implementation.  Implementations that work through libglvnd are no longer
+providers for graphics virtual dependencies, like "gl" or "glx", but instead
+provide libglvnd versions of these dependencies ("libglvnd-be-gl",
+"libglvnd-be-glx", etc.).  The libglvnd-fe package depends on these
+"libglvnd-be-..." virtual packages, which provide the actual implementation.
+It also depends on libglvnd, itself, and exposes its libraries to downstream
+applications.  For correct operation, the Spack package for the underlying
+implementation has to set the runtime environment to ensure that it is loaded
+when an application linked against libglvnd runs.  This last detail is
+important for users who want to set up an external OpenGL implementation that
+requires libglvnd to work.  This setup requires modifying the ``modules``
+configuration so that modules generated for the external OpenGL implementation
+set the necessary environment variables.

+                __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME: nvidia

+                __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES: /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json
+
+One final detail about the above example is that it avoids setting the true
+root of the external OpenGL implementation, instead opting to set it to a path
+that is not expected to exist on the system.  This is done for two reasons.
+First, Spack would add directories under this root to environment variables
+that would affect the process of building and installing other packages, such
+as ``PATH`` and ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH``.  These additions may potentially prevent
+those packages from installing successfully, and this risk is especially great
+for paths that house many libraries and applications, like ``/usr``.  Second,
+providing the true root of the external implementation in the ``packages``
+configuration is not necessary because libglvnd need only the environment
+variables set above in the ``modules`` configuration to determine what OpenGL
+implementation to dispatch calls to at run time.

+Shell support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To enable additional Spack commands for loading and unloading module files,
+and to add the correct path to ``MODULEPATH``,  you need to source the appropriate
+setup file in the ``$SPACK_ROOT/share/spack`` directory. This will activate shell
+support for the commands that need it. For ``bash``, ``ksh`` or ``zsh`` users:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ . ${SPACK_ROOT}/share/spack/setup-env.sh
+
+For ``csh`` and ``tcsh`` instead:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ set SPACK_ROOT ...
+   $ source $SPACK_ROOT/share/spack/setup-env.csh
+
+Note that in the latter case it is necessary to explicitly set ``SPACK_ROOT``
+before sourcing the setup file (you will get a meaningful error message
+if you don't).
+
+If you want to have Spack's shell support available on the command line at
+any login you can put this source line in one of the files that are sourced
+at startup (like ``.profile``, ``.bashrc`` or ``.cshrc``). Be aware though
+that the startup time may be slightly increased because of that.
+
+
+.. _cmd-spack-load:
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+``spack load / unload``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once you have shell support enabled you can use the same spec syntax
+you're used to and you can use the same shortened names you use
+everywhere else in Spack.
+
+For example this will add the ``mpich`` package built with ``gcc`` to your path:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install mpich %gcc@4.4.7
+
+   # ... wait for install ...
+

+   $ which mpicc
+   ~/spack/opt/linux-debian7-x86_64/gcc@4.4.7/mpich@3.0.4/bin/mpicc
+
+These commands will add appropriate directories to your ``PATH``,
+``MANPATH``, ``CPATH``, and ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``.  When you no longer
+want to use a package, you can type unload or unuse similarly:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack unload mpich %gcc@4.4.7
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``load`` and ``unload`` subcommands are only available if you
+   have enabled Spack's shell support. These command DO NOT use the
+   underlying Spack-generated module files.
+

+
+If a spec used with load/unload or is ambiguous (i.e. more than one

+

-section maps relative prefixes to the list of environment variables
-which should be updated with those prefixes.
-
-The ``prefix_inspections`` configuration is different from other

-        - CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
-
-Prefix inspections are only applied if the relative path inside the
-installation prefix exists. In this case, for a Spack package ``foo``
-installed to ``/spack/prefix/foo``, if ``foo`` installs executables to
-``bin`` but no libraries in ``lib``, the generated module file for
-``foo`` would update ``PATH`` to contain ``/spack/prefix/foo/bin`` and
-``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` to contain ``/spack/prefix/foo``, but would not
-update ``LIBRARY_PATH``.
-
-There is a special case for prefix inspections relative to environment
-views. If all of the following conditions hold for a module set
-configuration:
-
-#. The configuration is for an :ref:`environment <environments>` and
-   will never be applied outside the environment,
-#. The environment in question is configured to use a :ref:`view
-   <filesystem-views>`,
-#. The :ref:`environment view is configured
-   <configuring_environment_views>` with a projection that ensures
-   every package is linked to a unique directory,
-
-then the module set may be configured to create modules relative to
-the environment view. This is specified by the ``use_view``
-configuration option in the module set. If ``True``, the module set is
-constructed relative to the default view of the
-environment. Otherwise, the value must be the name of the environment
-view relative to which to construct modules, or ``False-ish`` to
-disable the feature explicitly (the default is ``False``).
-
-If the ``use_view`` value is set in the config, then the prefix
-inspections for the package are done relative to the package's path in
-the view.

-
-The ``spack`` key is relevant to :ref:`environment <environments>`
-configuration, and the view key is discussed in detail in the section

-to first create a server along with a username and token for yourself.

-To read about how to monitor an analysis (meaning you want to send analysis results
-to a server) see :ref:`analyze_monitoring`.
-
----------------------
-Monitoring An Install
----------------------
-
-Since an install is typically when you build packages, we logically want
-to tell spack to monitor during this step. Let's start with an example
-where we want to monitor the install of hdf5. Unless you have disabled authentication
-for the server, we first want to export our spack monitor token and username to the environment:
-
-.. code-block:: console
- 
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-
-By default, the host for your server is expected to be at ``http://127.0.0.1``
-with a prefix of ``ms1``, and if this is the case, you can simply add the
-``--monitor`` flag to the install command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor hdf5
-
-
-If you need to customize the host or the prefix, you can do that as well:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-prefix monitor --monitor-host https://monitor-service.io hdf5
-
-
-As a precaution, we cut out early in the spack client if you have not provided
-authentication credentials. For example, if you run the command above without
-exporting your username or token, you'll see:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    ==> Error: You are required to export SPACKMON_TOKEN and SPACKMON_USER

-This extra check is to ensure that we don't start any builds,
-and then discover that you forgot to export your token. However, if 
-your monitoring server has authentication disabled, you can tell this to
-the client to skip this step:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-disable-auth hdf5
-
-If the service is not running, you'll cleanly exit early - the install will
-not continue if you've asked it to monitor and there is no service.
-For example, here is what you'll see if the monitoring service is not running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    [Errno 111] Connection refused
-
-
-If you want to continue builds (and stop monitoring) you can set the ``--monitor-keep-going``
-flag. 
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-keep-going hdf5
-
-This could mean that if a request fails, you only have partial or no data
-added to your monitoring database. This setting will not be applied to the
-first request to check if the server is running, but to subsequent requests.
-If you don't have a monitor server running and you want to build, simply
-don't provide the ``--monitor`` flag! Finally, if you want to provide one or
-more tags to your build, you can do:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # Add one tag, "pizza"
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-tags pizza hdf5
-
-    # Add two tags, "pizza" and "pasta"
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-tags pizza,pasta hdf5

-Monitoring with Containerize
-----------------------------
-
-The same argument group is available to add to a containerize command. 
-
-^^^^^^
-Docker
-^^^^^^
-
-To add monitoring to a Docker container recipe generation using the defaults,
-and assuming a monitor server running on localhost, you would
-start with a spack.yaml in your present working directory:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   spack:
-     specs:
-       - samtools
-
-And then do:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # preview first
-    spack containerize --monitor
-    
-    # and then write to a Dockerfile
-    spack containerize --monitor > Dockerfile
-    
-    
-The install command will be edited to include commands for enabling monitoring.
-However, getting secrets into the container for your monitor server is something
-that should be done carefully. Specifically you should:
-
- - Never try to define secrets as ENV, ARG, or using ``--build-arg``
- - Do not try to get the secret into the container via a "temporary" file that you remove (it in fact will still exist in a layer)
-
-Instead, it's recommended to use buildkit `as explained here <https://pythonspeed.com/articles/docker-build-secrets/>`_.
-You'll need to again export environment variables for your spack monitor server:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-And then use buildkit along with your build and identifying the name of the secret:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --secret id=st,env=SPACKMON_TOKEN --secret id=su,env=SPACKMON_USER -t spack/container . 
-    
-The secrets are expected to come from your environment, and then will be temporarily mounted and available
-at ``/run/secrets/<name>``. If you forget to supply them (and authentication is required) the build
-will fail. If you need to build on your host (and interact with a spack monitor at localhost) you'll
-need to tell Docker to use the host network:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --network="host" --secret id=st,env=SPACKMON_TOKEN --secret id=su,env=SPACKMON_USER -t spack/container . 
-    
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-Singularity
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To add monitoring to a Singularity container build, the spack.yaml needs to
-be modified slightly to specify wanting a different format:
-
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   spack:
-     specs:
-       - samtools
-     container:
-       format: singularity
-       
-       
-Again, generate the recipe:
-
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # preview first
-    $ spack containerize --monitor
-    
-    # then write to a Singularity recipe
-    $ spack containerize --monitor > Singularity
-
-
-Singularity doesn't have a direct way to define secrets at build time, so we have
-to do a bit of a manual command to add a file, source secrets in it, and remove it.
-Since Singularity doesn't have layers like Docker, deleting a file will truly
-remove it from the container and history. So let's say we have this file,
-``secrets.sh``:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # secrets.sh
-    export SPACKMON_USER=spack
-    export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-
-
-We would then generate the Singularity recipe, and add a files section,
-a source of that file at the start of ``%post``, and **importantly**
-a removal of the final at the end of that same section.
-
-.. code-block::
-
-    Bootstrap: docker
-    From: spack/ubuntu-bionic:latest
-    Stage: build
-
-    %files
-      secrets.sh /opt/secrets.sh 
-
-    %post
-      . /opt/secrets.sh
-
-      # spack install commands are here
-      ...
-      
-      # Don't forget to remove here!
-      rm /opt/secrets.sh
-
-
-You can then build the container as your normally would.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ sudo singularity build container.sif Singularity 
-
-
-------------------
-Monitoring Offline
-------------------
-
-In the case that you want to save monitor results to your filesystem
-and then upload them later (perhaps you are in an environment where you don't
-have credentials or it isn't safe to use them) you can use the ``--monitor-save-local``
-flag.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-save-local hdf5 
-
-This will save results in a subfolder, "monitor" in your designated spack
-reports folder, which defaults to ``$HOME/.spack/reports/monitor``. When
-you are ready to upload them to a spack monitor server:
-
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack monitor upload ~/.spack/reports/monitor 
-
-
-You can choose the root directory of results as shown above, or a specific
-subdirectory. The command accepts other arguments to specify configuration
-for the monitor.

-permission to write to an S3 bucket, ``enabled-buildcache-artifacts`` is the only
-way to propagate binaries from jobs to their dependents.
-
-Also, it is usually a good idea to let the pipeline generate a final "rebuild the
-buildcache index" job, so that subsequent pipeline generation can quickly determine
-which specs are up to date and which need to be rebuilt (it's a good idea for other
-reasons as well, but those are out of scope for this discussion).  In this case we
-have disabled it (using ``rebuild-index: False``) because the index would only be
-generated in the artifacts mirror anyway, and consequently would not be available
-during subesequent pipeline runs.
-
-.. note::
-   With the addition of reproducible builds (#22887) a previously working
-   pipeline will require some changes:
-
-   * In the build jobs (``runner-attributes``), the environment location changed.
-     This will typically show as a ``KeyError`` in the failing job. Be sure to
-     point to ``${SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR}``.
-
-   * When using ``include`` in your environment, be sure to make the included
-     files available in the build jobs. This means adding those files to the
-     artifact directory. Those files will also be missing in the reproducibility
-     artifact.
-
-   * Because the location of the environment changed, including files with
-     relative path may have to be adapted to work both in the project context
-     (generation job) and in the concrete env dir context (build job).

 Spack commands supporting pipelines
 -----------------------------------
 
-Spack provides a ``ci`` command with a few sub-commands supporting spack
-ci pipelines.  These commands are covered in more detail in this section.
+Spack provides a command ``ci`` with two sub-commands: ``spack ci generate`` generates
+a pipeline (a .gitlab-ci.yml file) from a spack environment, and ``spack ci rebuild``
+checks a spec against a remote mirror and possibly rebuilds it from source and updates
+the binary mirror with the latest built package.  Both ``spack ci ...`` commands must
+be run from within the same environment, as each one makes use of the environment for
+different purposes.  Additionally, some options to the commands (or conditions present
+in the spack environment file) may require particular environment variables to be
+set in order to function properly.  Examples of these are typically secrets
+needed for pipeline operation that should not be visible in a spack environment
+file.  These environment variables are described in more detail
+:ref:`ci_environment_variables`.

-and if not, build the spec from source and push the binary to the mirror.  To
-accomplish this in a reproducible way, the sub-command prepares a ``spack install``

-it to install the spec.  The shell script is also exported as an artifact to
-aid in reproducing the build outside of the CI environment.
-
-If it was necessary to install the spec from source, ``spack ci rebuild`` will
-also subsequently create a binary package for the spec and try to push it to the

-Note about rebuilding buildcache index
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-By default, while a pipeline job may rebuild a package, create a buildcache
-entry, and push it to the mirror, it does not automatically re-generate the
-mirror's buildcache index afterward.  Because the index is not needed by the
-default rebuild jobs in the pipeline, not updating the index at the end of
-each job avoids possible race conditions between simultaneous jobs, and it
-avoids the computational expense of regenerating the index.  This potentially
-saves minutes per job, depending on the number of binary packages in the
-mirror.  As a result, the default is that the mirror's buildcache index may
-not correctly reflect the mirror's contents at the end of a pipeline.
-
-To make sure the buildcache index is up to date at the end of your pipeline,
-spack generates a job to update the buildcache index of the target mirror
-at the end of each pipeline by default.  You can disable this behavior by
-adding ``rebuild-index: False`` inside the ``gitlab-ci`` section of your
-spack environment.  Spack will assign the job any runner attributes found
-on the ``service-job-attributes``, if you have provided that in your

-If no specs in an environment need to be rebuilt during a given pipeline run
-(meaning all are already up to date on the mirror), a single succesful job
-(a NO-OP) is still generated to avoid an empty pipeline (which GitLab
-considers to be an error).  An optional ``service-job-attributes`` section
-can be added to your ``spack.yaml`` where you can provide ``tags`` and
-``image`` or ``variables`` for the generated NO-OP job.  This section also
-supports providing ``before_script``, ``script``, and ``after_script``, in

+------------------------------
+Developing Software with Spack
+------------------------------
+
+For any project, one needs to assemble an
+environment of that application's dependencies.  You might consider
+loading a series of modules or creating a filesystem view.  This
+approach, while obvious, has some serious drawbacks:
+
+1. There is no guarantee that an environment created this way will be
+   consistent.  Your application could end up with dependency A
+   expecting one version of MPI, and dependency B expecting another.
+   The linker will not be happy...
+
+2. Suppose you need to debug a package deep within your software DAG.
+   If you build that package with a manual environment, then it
+   becomes difficult to have Spack auto-build things that depend on
+   it.  That could be a serious problem, depending on how deep the
+   package in question is in your dependency DAG.
+
+3. At its core, Spack is a sophisticated concretization algorithm that
+   matches up packages with appropriate dependencies and creates a
+   *consistent* environment for the package it's building.  Writing a
+   list of ``spack load`` commands for your dependencies is at least
+   as hard as writing the same list of ``depends_on()`` declarations
+   in a Spack package.  But it makes no use of Spack concretization
+   and is more error-prone.
+
+4. Spack provides an automated, systematic way not just to find a
+   packages's dependencies --- but also to build other packages on
+   top.  Any Spack package can become a dependency for another Spack
+   package, offering a powerful vision of software re-use.  If you
+   build your package A outside of Spack, then your ability to use it
+   as a building block for other packages in an automated way is
+   diminished: other packages depending on package A will not
+   be able to use Spack to fulfill that dependency.
+
+5. If you are reading this manual, you probably love Spack.  You're
+   probably going to write a Spack package for your software so
+   prospective users can install it with the least amount of pain.
+   Why should you go to additional work to find dependencies in your
+   development environment?  Shouldn't Spack be able to help you build
+   your software based on the package you've already written?
+
+In this section, we show how Spack can be used in the software
+development process to greatest effect, and how development packages
+can be seamlessly integrated into the Spack ecosystem.  We will show
+how this process works by example, assuming the software you are
+creating is called ``mylib``.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Write the CMake Build
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For now, the techniques in this section only work for CMake-based
+projects, although they could be easily extended to other build
+systems in the future.  We will therefore assume you are using CMake
+to build your project.
+
+The ``CMakeLists.txt`` file should be written as normal.  A few caveats:
+
+1. Your project should produce binaries with RPATHs.  This will ensure
+   that they work the same whether built manually or automatically by
+   Spack.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+   # enable @rpath in the install name for any shared library being built
+   # note: it is planned that a future version of CMake will enable this by default
+   set(CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH 1)
+
+   # Always use full RPATH
+   # http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling
+   # http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/510
+
+   # use, i.e. don't skip the full RPATH for the build tree
+   SET(CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH  FALSE)
+
+   # when building, don't use the install RPATH already
+   # (but later on when installing)
+   SET(CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH FALSE)
+
+   # add the automatically determined parts of the RPATH
+   # which point to directories outside the build tree to the install RPATH
+   SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH TRUE)
+
+   # the RPATH to be used when installing, but only if it's not a system directory
+   LIST(FIND CMAKE_PLATFORM_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib" isSystemDir)
+   IF("${isSystemDir}" STREQUAL "-1")
+      SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib")
+   ENDIF("${isSystemDir}" STREQUAL "-1")
+
+
+2. Spack provides a CMake variable called
+   ``SPACK_TRANSITIVE_INCLUDE_PATH``, which contains the ``include/``
+   directory for all of your project's transitive dependencies.  It
+   can be useful if your project ``#include``s files from package B,
+   which ``#include`` files from package C, but your project only
+   lists project B as a dependency.  This works in traditional
+   single-tree build environments, in which B and C's include files
+   live in the same place.  In order to make it work with Spack as
+   well, you must add the following to ``CMakeLists.txt``.  It will
+   have no effect when building without Spack:
+
+   .. code-block:: cmake
+
+      # Include all the transitive dependencies determined by Spack.
+      # If we're not running with Spack, this does nothing...
+      include_directories($ENV{SPACK_TRANSITIVE_INCLUDE_PATH})
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Note that this feature is controversial and could break with
+      future versions of GNU ld.  The best practice is to make sure
+      anything you ``#include`` is listed as a dependency in your
+      CMakeLists.txt (and Spack package).

+
+This is a standard Spack package that can be used to install
+``mylib`` in a production environment.  The list of dependencies in
+the Spack package will generally be a repeat of the list of CMake
+dependencies.  This package also has some features that allow it to be
+used for development:
+
+1. It subclasses ``CMakePackage`` instead of ``Package``.  This
+   eliminates the need to write an ``install()`` method, which is
+   defined in the superclass.  Instead, one just needs to write the
+   ``configure_args()`` method.  That method should return the
+   arguments needed for the ``cmake`` command (beyond the standard
+   CMake arguments, which Spack will include already).  These
+   arguments are typically used to turn features on/off in the build.
+
+2. It specifies a non-checksummed version ``develop``.  Running
+   ``spack install mylib@develop`` the ``@develop`` version will
+   install the latest version off the develop branch.  This method of
+   download is useful for the developer of a project while it is in
+   active development; however, it should only be used by developers
+   who control and trust the repository in question!
+
+3. The ``url``, ``url_for_version()`` and ``homepage`` attributes are
+   not used in development.  Don't worry if you don't have any, or if
+   they are behind a firewall.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Build with Spack
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Now that you have a Spack package, you can use Spack to find its
+dependencies automatically.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ cd mylib
+   $ spack setup mylib@local
+
+The result will be a file ``spconfig.py`` in the top-level
+``mylib/`` directory.  It is a short script that calls CMake with the
+dependencies and options determined by Spack --- similar to what
+happens in ``spack install``, but now written out in script form.
+From a developer's point of view, you can think of ``spconfig.py`` as
+a stand-in for the ``cmake`` command.
+
+.. note::
+
+   You can invent any "version" you like for the ``spack setup``
+   command.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Although ``spack setup`` does not build your package, it does
+   create and install a module file, and mark in the database that
+   your package has been installed.  This can lead to errors, of
+   course, if you don't subsequently install your package.
+   Also... you will need to ``spack uninstall`` before you run
+   ``spack setup`` again.
+
+
+You can now build your project as usual with CMake:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ mkdir build; cd build
+   $ ../spconfig.py ..   # Instead of cmake ..
+   $ make
+   $ make install
+
+Once your ``make install`` command is complete, your package will be
+installed, just as if you'd run ``spack install``.  Except you can now
+edit, re-build and re-install as often as needed, without checking
+into Git or downloading tarballs.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The build you get this way will be *almost* the same as the build
+   from ``spack install``.  The only difference is, you will not be
+   using Spack's compiler wrappers.  This difference has not caused
+   problems in our experience, as long as your project sets
+   RPATHs as shown above.  You DO use RPATHs, right?
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Build Other Software
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Now that you've built ``mylib`` with Spack, you might want to build
+another package that depends on it --- for example, ``myapp``.  This
+is accomplished easily enough:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install myapp ^mylib@local
+
+Note that auto-built software has now been installed *on top of*
+manually-built software, without breaking Spack's "web."  This
+property is useful if you need to debug a package deep in the
+dependency hierarchy of your application.  It is a *big* advantage of
+using ``spack setup`` to build your package's environment.
+
+If you feel your software is stable, you might wish to install it with
+``spack install`` and skip the source directory.  You can just use,
+for example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install mylib@develop
+
+.. _release-your-software:
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Release Your Software
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You are now ready to release your software as a tarball with a
+numbered version, and a Spack package that can build it.  If you're
+hosted on GitHub, this process will be a bit easier.
+
+#. Put tag(s) on the version(s) in your GitHub repo you want to be
+   release versions.  For example, a tag ``v0.1.0`` for version 0.1.0.
+
+#. Set the ``url`` in your ``package.py`` to download a tarball for
+   the appropriate version.  GitHub will give you a tarball for any
+   commit in the repo, if you tickle it the right way.  For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: python
+
+      url = 'https://github.com/citibeth/mylib/tarball/v0.1.2'
+
+#. Use Spack to determine your version's hash, and cut'n'paste it into
+   your ``package.py``:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ spack checksum mylib 0.1.2
+      ==> Found 1 versions of mylib
+        0.1.2     https://github.com/citibeth/mylib/tarball/v0.1.2
+
+      How many would you like to checksum? (default is 5, q to abort)
+      ==> Downloading...
+      ==> Trying to fetch from https://github.com/citibeth/mylib/tarball/v0.1.2
+      ######################################################################## 100.0%
+      ==> Checksummed new versions of mylib:
+            version('0.1.2', '3a6acd70085e25f81b63a7e96c504ef9')
+
+#. You should now be able to install released version 0.1.2 of your package with:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ spack install mylib@0.1.2
+
+#. There is no need to remove the `develop` version from your package.
+   Spack concretization will always prefer numbered version to
+   non-numeric versions.  Users will only get it if they ask for it.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Distribute Your Software
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once you've released your software, other people will want to build
+it; and you will need to tell them how.  In the past, that has meant a
+few paragraphs of prose explaining which dependencies to install.  But
+now you use Spack, and those instructions are written in executable
+Python code.  But your software has many dependencies, and you know
+Spack is the best way to install it:
+
+#. First, you will want to fork Spack's ``develop`` branch.  Your aim
+   is to provide a stable version of Spack that you KNOW will install
+   your software.  If you make changes to Spack in the process, you
+   will want to submit pull requests to Spack core.
+
+#. Add your software's ``package.py`` to that fork.  You should submit
+   a pull request for this as well, unless you don't want the public
+   to know about your software.
+
+#. Prepare instructions that read approximately as follows:
+
+   #. Download Spack from your forked repo.
+
+   #. Install Spack; see :ref:`getting_started`.
+
+   #. Set up an appropriate ``packages.yaml`` file.  You should tell
+      your users to include in this file whatever versions/variants
+      are needed to make your software work correctly (assuming those
+      are not already in your ``packages.yaml``).
+
+   #. Run ``spack install mylib``.
+
+   #. Run this script to generate the ``module load`` commands or
+      filesystem view needed to use this software.
+
+#. Be aware that your users might encounter unexpected bootstrapping
+   issues on their machines, especially if they are running on older
+   systems.  The :ref:`getting_started` section should cover this, but
+   there could always be issues.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Other Build Systems
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``spack setup`` currently only supports CMake-based builds, in
+packages that subclass ``CMakePackage``.  The intent is that this
+mechanism should support a wider range of build systems; for example,
+GNU Autotools.  Someone well-versed in Autotools is needed to develop
+this patch and test it out.
+
+Python Distutils is another popular build system that should get
+``spack setup`` support.  For non-compiled languages like Python,
+``spack diy`` may be used.  Even better is to put the source directory
+directly in the user's ``PYTHONPATH``.  Then, edits in source files
+are immediately available to run without any install process at all!
+
+^^^^^^^^^^
+Conclusion
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``spack setup`` development workflow provides better automation,
+flexibility and safety than workflows relying on environment modules
+or filesystem views.  However, it has some drawbacks:
+
+#. It currently works only with projects that use the CMake build
+   system.  Support for other build systems is not hard to build, but
+   will require a small amount of effort for each build system to be
+   supported.  It might not work well with some IDEs.
+
+#. It only works with packages that sub-class ``StagedPackage``.
+   Currently, most Spack packages do not.  Converting them is not
+   hard; but must be done on a package-by-package basis.
+
+#. It requires that users are comfortable with Spack, as they
+   integrate Spack explicitly in their workflow.  Not all users are
+   willing to do this.

+Using Spack to Create Docker Images
+-----------------------------------
+
+Spack can be the ideal tool to set up images for Docker (and Singularity).
+
+An example ``Dockerfile`` is given below, downloading the latest spack
+version.
+
+The following functionality is prepared:
+
+#. Base image: the example starts from a minimal ubuntu.
+
+#. Pre-install the spack dependencies.
+   Package installs are followed by a clean-up of the system package index,
+   to avoid outdated information and it saves space.
+
+#. Install spack in ``/usr/local``.
+   Add ``setup-env.sh`` to profile scripts, so commands in *login* shells
+   can use the whole spack functionality, including modules.
+
+#. Install an example package (``tar``).
+   As with system package managers above, ``spack install`` commands should be
+   concatenated with a ``&& spack clean -a`` in order to keep image sizes small.
+
+#. Add a startup hook to an *interactive login shell* so spack modules will be
+   usable.
+
+In order to build and run the image, execute:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   docker build -t spack .
+   docker run -it spack
+
+.. code-block:: docker

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+"""
+MPI
+"""
+Due to the dependency on Fortran for OpenMPI, which is the spack default
+implementation, consider adding ``gfortran`` to the ``apt-get install`` list.
+
+Recent versions of OpenMPI will require you to pass ``--allow-run-as-root``
+to your ``mpirun`` calls if started as root user inside Docker.
+
+For execution on HPC clusters, it can be helpful to import the docker
+image into Singularity in order to start a program with an *external*
+MPI. Otherwise, also add ``openssh-server`` to the ``apt-get install`` list.
+
+""""
+CUDA
+""""
+Starting from CUDA 9.0, Nvidia provides minimal CUDA images based on
+Ubuntu.
+Please see `their instructions <https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/cuda/>`_.
+Avoid double-installing CUDA by adding, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     cuda:
+       paths:
+         cuda@9.0.176%gcc@5.4.0 arch=linux-ubuntu16-x86_64: /usr/local/cuda
+       buildable: False
+
+to your ``packages.yaml``.
+Then ``COPY`` in that file into the image as in the example above.
+
+Users will either need ``nvidia-docker`` or e.g. Singularity to *execute*
+device kernels.
+
+"""""""""""
+Singularity
+"""""""""""
+Importing and running the image created above into
+`Singularity <http://singularity.lbl.gov/>`_ works like a charm.
+Just use the `docker bootstraping mechanism <http://singularity.lbl.gov/quickstart#bootstrap-recipes>`_:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   Bootstrap: docker
+   From: registry/user/image:tag
+
+   %runscript
+   exec /bin/bash -l

+For examples of how we use docker in development, see
+:ref:`docker_for_developers`.
+
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""
+Docker on Windows and OSX
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+On Mac OS and Windows, docker runs on a hypervisor that is not allocated much
+memory by default, and some spack packages may fail to build due to lack of
+memory. To work around this issue, consider configuring your docker installation
+to use more of your host memory. In some cases, you can also ease the memory
+pressure on parallel builds by limiting the parallelism in your config.yaml.

-
-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
-
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
-
-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
-      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
-      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
-      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"

-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity

-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
-
-   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
-
