-# v0.22.0 (2024-05-12)
-
-`v0.22.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Features in this release
-
-1. **Compiler dependencies**
-
-    We are in the process of making compilers proper dependencies in Spack, and a number
-    of changes in `v0.22` support that effort. You may notice nodes in your dependency
-    graphs for compiler runtime libraries like `gcc-runtime` or `libgfortran`, and you
-    may notice that Spack graphs now include `libc`. We've also begun moving compiler
-    configuration from `compilers.yaml` to `packages.yaml` to make it consistent with
-    other externals. We are trying to do this with the least disruption possible, so
-    your existing `compilers.yaml` files should still work. We expect to be done with
-    this transition by the `v0.23` release in November.
-
-    * #41104: Packages compiled with `%gcc` on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD now depend on a
-      new package `gcc-runtime`, which contains a copy of the shared compiler runtime
-      libraries. This enables gcc runtime libraries to be installed and relocated when
-      using a build cache. When building minimal Spack-generated container images it is
-      no longer necessary to install libgfortran, libgomp etc. using the system package
-      manager.
-
-    * #42062: Packages compiled with `%oneapi` now depend on a new package
-      `intel-oneapi-runtime`. This is similar to `gcc-runtime`, and the runtimes can
-      provide virtuals and compilers can inject dependencies on virtuals into compiled
-      packages. This allows us to model library soname compatibility and allows
-      compilers like `%oneapi` to provide virtuals like `sycl` (which can also be
-      provided by standalone libraries). Note that until we have an agreement in place
-      with intel, Intel packages are marked `redistribute(source=False, binary=False)`
-      and must be downloaded outside of Spack.
-
-    * #43272: changes to the optimization criteria of the solver improve the hit-rate of
-      buildcaches by a fair amount. The solver more relaxed compatibility rules and will
-      not try to strictly match compilers or targets of reused specs. Users can still
-      enforce the previous strict behavior with `require:` sections in `packages.yaml`.
-      Note that to enforce correct linking, Spack will *not* reuse old `%gcc` and
-      `%oneapi` specs that do not have the runtime libraries as a dependency.
-
-    * #43539: Spack will reuse specs built with compilers that are *not* explicitly
-      configured in `compilers.yaml`. Because we can now keep runtime libraries in build
-      cache, we do not require you to also have a local configured compiler to *use* the
-      runtime libraries. This improves reuse in buildcaches and avoids conflicts with OS
-      updates that happen underneath Spack.
-
-    * #43190: binary compatibility on `linux` is now based on the `libc` version,
-      instead of on the `os` tag. Spack builds now detect the host `libc` (`glibc` or
-      `musl`) and add it as an implicit external node in the dependency graph. Binaries
-      with a `libc` with the same name and a version less than or equal to that of the
-      detected `libc` can be reused. This is only on `linux`, not `macos` or `Windows`.
-
-    * #43464: each package that can provide a compiler is now detectable using `spack
-      external find`. External packages defining compiler paths are effectively used as
-      compilers, and `spack external find -t compiler` can be used as a substitute for
-      `spack compiler find`. More details on this transition are in
-      [the docs](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#manual-compiler-configuration)
-
-2. **Improved `spack find` UI for Environments**
-
-   If you're working in an enviroment, you likely care about:
-
-   * What are the roots
-   * Which ones are installed / not installed
-   * What's been added that still needs to be concretized
-
-    We've tweaked `spack find` in environments to show this information much more
-    clearly. Installation status is shown next to each root, so you can see what is
-    installed. Roots are also shown in bold in the list of installed packages. There is
-    also a new option for `spack find -r` / `--only-roots` that will only show env
-    roots, if you don't want to look at all the installed specs.
-
-    More details in #42334.
-
-3. **Improved command-line string quoting**
-
-   We are making some breaking changes to how Spack parses specs on the CLI in order to
-   respect shell quoting instead of trying to fight it. If you (sadly) had to write
-   something like this on the command line:
-
-    ```
-    spack install zlib cflags=\"-O2 -g\"
-    ```
-
-    That will now result in an error, but you can now write what you probably expected
-    to work in the first place:
-
-    ```
-    spack install zlib cflags="-O2 -g"
-    ```
-
-    Quoted can also now include special characters, so you can supply flags like:
-
-    ```
-    spack intall zlib ldflags='-Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN/_libs'
-    ```
-
-    To reduce ambiguity in parsing, we now require that you *not* put spaces around `=`
-    and `==` when for flags or variants. This would not have broken before but will now
-    result in an error:
-
-    ```
-    spack install zlib cflags = "-O2 -g"
-    ```
-
-    More details and discussion in #30634.
-
-4. **Revert default `spack install` behavior to `--reuse`**
-
-   We changed the default concretizer behavior from `--reuse` to `--reuse-deps` in
-   #30990 (in `v0.20`), which meant that *every* `spack install` invocation would
-   attempt to build a new version of the requested package / any environment roots.
-   While this is a common ask for *upgrading* and for *developer* workflows, we don't
-   think it should be the default for a package manager.
-
-   We are going to try to stick to this policy:
-   1. Prioritize reuse and build as little as possible by default.
-   2. Only upgrade or install duplicates if they are explicitly asked for, or if there
-      is a known security issue that necessitates an upgrade.
-
-   With the install command you now have three options:
-
-   * `--reuse` (default): reuse as many existing installations as possible.
-   * `--reuse-deps` / `--fresh-roots`: upgrade (freshen) roots but reuse dependencies if possible.
-   * `--fresh`: install fresh versions of requested packages (roots) and their dependencies.
-
-   We've also introduced `--fresh-roots` as an alias for `--reuse-deps` to make it more clear
-   that it may give you fresh versions. More details in #41302 and #43988.
-
-5. **More control over reused specs**
-
-   You can now control which packages to reuse and how. There is a new
-   `concretizer:reuse` config option, which accepts the following properties:
-
-   - `roots`: `true` to reuse roots, `false` to reuse just dependencies
-   - `exclude`: list of constraints used to select which specs *not* to reuse
-   - `include`: list of constraints used to select which specs *to* reuse
-   - `from`: list of sources for reused specs (some combination of `local`,
-     `buildcache`, or `external`)
-
-   For example, to reuse only specs compiled with GCC, you could write:
-
-   ```yaml
-   concretizer:
-      reuse:
-        roots: true
-        include:
-        - "%gcc"
-   ```
-
-   Or, if `openmpi` must be used from externals, and it must be the only external used:
-
-   ```yaml
-   concretizer:
-     reuse:
-       roots: true
-       from:
-       - type: local
-         exclude: ["openmpi"]
-       - type: buildcache
-         exclude: ["openmpi"]
-       - type: external
-         include: ["openmpi"]
-   ```
-
-6. **New `redistribute()` directive**
-
-   Some packages can't be redistributed in source or binary form. We need an explicit
-   way to say that in a package.
-
-   Now there is a `redistribute()` directive so that package authors can write:
-
-   ```python
-   class MyPackage(Package):
-       redistribute(source=False, binary=False)
-   ```
-
-   Like other directives, this works with `when=`:
-
-   ```python
-   class MyPackage(Package):
-       # 12.0 and higher are proprietary
-       redistribute(source=False, binary=False, when="@12.0:")
-
-       # can't redistribute when we depend on some proprietary dependency
-       redistribute(source=False, binary=False, when="^proprietary-dependency")
-   ```
-
-    More in #20185.
-
-7. **New `conflict:` and `prefer:` syntax for package preferences**
-
-   Previously, you could express conflicts and preferences in `packages.yaml` through
-   some contortions with `require:`:
-
-    ```yaml
-    packages:
-      zlib-ng:
-        require:
-        - one_of: ["%clang", "@:"]   # conflict on %clang
-        - any_of: ["+shared", "@:"]  # strong preference for +shared
-    ```
-
-    You can now use `require:` and `prefer:` for a much more readable configuration:
-
-    ```yaml
-    packages:
-      zlib-ng:
-        conflict:
-        - "%clang"
-        prefer:
-        - "+shared"
-    ```
-
-    See [the documentation](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages_yaml.html#conflicts-and-strong-preferences)
-    and #41832 for more details.
-
-8. **`include_concrete` in environments**
-
-   You may want to build on the *concrete* contents of another environment without
-   changing that environment.  You can now include the concrete specs from another
-   environment's `spack.lock` with `include_concrete`:
-
-   ```yaml
-      spack:
-        specs: []
-        concretizer:
-            unify: true
-        include_concrete:
-        - /path/to/environment1
-        - /path/to/environment2
-   ```
-
-   Now, when *this* environment is concretized, it will bring in the already concrete
-   specs from `environment1` and `environment2`, and build on top of them without
-   changing them. This is useful if you have phased deployments, where old deployments
-   should not be modified but you want to use as many of them as possible. More details
-   in #33768.
-
-9. **`python-venv` isolation**
-
-   Spack has unique requirements for Python because it:
-    1. installs every package in its own independent directory, and
-    2. allows users to register *external* python installations.
-
-   External installations may contain their own installed packages that can interfere
-   with Spack installations, and some distributions (Debian and Ubuntu) even change the
-   `sysconfig` in ways that alter the installation layout of installed Python packages
-   (e.g., with the addition of a `/local` prefix on Debian or Ubuntu). To isolate Spack
-   from these and other issues, we now insert a small `python-venv` package in between
-   `python` and packages that need to install Python code. This isolates Spack's build
-   environment, isolates Spack from any issues with an external python, and resolves a
-   large number of issues we've had with Python installations.
-
-   See #40773 for further details.

-Python packages and virtual environments
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-Spack can install a large number of Python packages. Their names are
-typically prefixed with ``py-``. Installing and using them is no
-different from any other package:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack install py-numpy
-   $ spack load py-numpy
-   $ python3
-   >>> import numpy
-
-The ``spack load`` command sets the ``PATH`` variable so that the right Python
-executable is used, and makes sure that ``numpy`` and its dependencies can be
-located in the ``PYTHONPATH``.
-
-Spack is different from other Python package managers in that it installs
-every package into its *own* prefix. This is in contrast to ``pip``, which
-installs all packages into the same prefix, be it in a virtual environment
-or not.
-
-For many users, **virtual environments** are more convenient than repeated
-``spack load`` commands, particularly when working with multiple Python
-packages. Fortunately Spack supports environments itself, which together
-with a view are no different from Python virtual environments.
-
-The recommended way of working with Python extensions such as ``py-numpy``
-is through :ref:`Environments <environments>`. The following example creates
-a Spack environment with ``numpy`` in the current working directory. It also
-puts a filesystem view in ``./view``, which is a more traditional combined
-prefix for all packages in the environment.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack env create --with-view view --dir .
-   $ spack -e . add py-numpy
-   $ spack -e . concretize
-   $ spack -e . install
-
-Now you can activate the environment and start using the packages:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack env activate .
-   $ python3
-   >>> import numpy
-
-The environment view is also a virtual environment, which is useful if you are
-sharing the environment with others who are unfamiliar with Spack. They can
-either use the Python executable directly:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ ./view/bin/python3
-   >>> import numpy
-
-or use the activation script:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ source ./view/bin/activate
-   $ python3
-   >>> import numpy
-
-In general, there should not be much difference between ``spack env activate``
-and using the virtual environment. The main advantage of ``spack env activate``
-is that it knows about more packages than just Python packages, and it may set
-additional runtime variables that are not covered by the virtual environment
-activation script.

+---------------------------
+Extensions & Python support
+---------------------------
+
+Spack's installation model assumes that each package will live in its
+own install prefix.  However, certain packages are typically installed
+*within* the directory hierarchy of other packages.  For example,
+`Python <https://www.python.org>`_ packages are typically installed in the
+``$prefix/lib/python-2.7/site-packages`` directory.
+
+In Spack, installation prefixes are immutable, so this type of installation
+is not directly supported. However, it is possible to create views that
+allow you to merge install prefixes of multiple packages into a single new prefix.
+Views are a convenient way to get a more traditional filesystem structure.
+Using *extensions*, you can ensure that Python packages always share the
+same prefix in the view as Python itself. Suppose you have
+Python installed like so:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack find python
+   ==> 1 installed packages.

+
+The extensions are a subset of what's returned by ``spack list``, and
+they are packages like any other.  They are installed into their own
+prefixes, and you can see this with ``spack find --paths``:
+
+.. code-block:: console

+     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+   ImportError: No module named numpy
+   >>>
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Using Extensions in Environments
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The recommended way of working with extensions such as ``py-numpy``
+above is through :ref:`Environments <environments>`. For example,
+the following creates an environment in the current working directory
+with a filesystem view in the ``./view`` directory:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack env create --with-view view --dir .
+   $ spack -e . add py-numpy
+   $ spack -e . concretize
+   $ spack -e . install
+
+We recommend environments for two reasons. Firstly, environments
+can be activated (requires :ref:`shell-support`):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack env activate .
+
+which sets all the right environment variables such as ``PATH`` and
+``PYTHONPATH``. This ensures that
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ python
+   >>> import numpy
+
+works. Secondly, even without shell support, the view ensures
+that Python can locate its extensions:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ ./view/bin/python
+   >>> import numpy
+
+See :ref:`environments` for a more in-depth description of Spack
+environments and customizations to views.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Using ``spack load``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A more traditional way of using Spack and extensions is ``spack load``
+(requires :ref:`shell-support`). This will add the extension to ``PYTHONPATH``
+in your current shell, and Python itself will be available in the ``PATH``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack load py-numpy
+   $ python
+   >>> import numpy
+
+The loaded packages can be checked using ``spack find --loaded``
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Loading Extensions via Modules
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Apart from ``spack env activate`` and ``spack load``, you can load numpy
+through your environment modules (using ``environment-modules`` or
+``lmod``). This will also add the extension to the ``PYTHONPATH`` in
+your current shell.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ module load <name of numpy module>
+
+If you do not know the name of the specific numpy module you wish to
+load, you can use the ``spack module tcl|lmod loads`` command to get
+the name of the module from the Spack spec.

-2. Reuse installed packages and buildcaches only for the dependencies of the root specs, when ``dependencies``
-3. Disregard reusing installed packages and buildcaches, when ``false``
-
-In case a finer control over which specs are reused is needed, then the value of this attribute can be
-an object, with the following keys:
-
-1. ``roots``: if ``true`` root specs are reused, if ``false`` only dependencies of root specs are reused
-2. ``from``: list of sources from which reused specs are taken

-Each source in ``from`` is itself an object:

-         - "%clang"
-
-tells the concretizer to reuse all specs compiled with either ``gcc`` or ``clang``, that are installed
-in the local store. Any spec from remote buildcaches is disregarded.
-
-To reduce the boilerplate in configuration files, default values for the ``include`` and
-``exclude`` options can be pushed up one level:

-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   concretizer:
-     reuse:
-       roots: true
-       include:
-       - "%gcc"

-       - type: buildcache
-       - type: local
-         include:
-         - "foo %oneapi"
-
-In the example above we reuse all specs compiled with ``gcc`` from the local store
-and remote buildcaches, and we also reuse ``foo %oneapi``. Note that the last source of

-
-For one-off concretizations, the are command line arguments for each of the simple "single value"

-These tests can be performed any time after the installation using

-The base class automatically detects perl modules based on the presence

-the files under ``perl-bignum``'s perl library are:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ find . -name "*.pm"

-   ./bigrat.pm

-   ./Math/BigInt/Trace.pm

-   ./bigint.pm

- .. code-block:: python
-
-    use_modules = ["bigfloat", "bigrat", "bigint", "bignum"]
-
-If you only want a subset of the automatically detected modules to be

-could define the following:
-
- .. code-block:: python

 Container Images
 ================
 
-Spack :ref:`environments` can easily be turned into container images. This page
+Spack :ref:`environments` are a great tool to create container images, but
-outlines two ways in which this can be done:
+preparing one that is suitable for production requires some more boilerplate
-
+than just:
-1. By installing the environment on the host system, and copying the installations
-   into the container image. This approach does not require any tools like Docker
-   or Singularity to be installed.
-2. By generating a Docker or Singularity recipe that can be used to build the
-   container image. In this approach, Spack builds the software inside the
-   container runtime, not on the host system.
-
-The first approach is easiest if you already have an installed environment,
-the second approach gives more control over the container image.
-
----------------------------
-From existing installations
----------------------------
-
-If you already have a Spack environment installed on your system, you can
-share the binaries as an OCI compatible container image. To get started you
-just have to configure and OCI registry and run ``spack buildcache push``.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-  
-   # Create and install an environment in the current directory
-   spack env create -d .
-   spack -e . add pkg-a pkg-b
-   spack -e . install
-
-   # Configure the registry
-   spack -e . mirror add --oci-username ... --oci-password ... container-registry oci://example.com/name/image
-
-   # Push the image
-   spack -e . buildcache push --update-index --base-image ubuntu:22.04 --tag my_env container-registry
-
-The resulting container image can then be run as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ docker run -it example.com/name/image:my_env
-
-The image generated by Spack consists of the specified base image with each package from the
-environment as a separate layer on top. The image is minimal by construction, it only contains the
-environment roots and its runtime dependencies.
-
-.. note::
-
-  When using registries like GHCR and Docker Hub, the ``--oci-password`` flag is not
-  the password for your account, but a personal access token you need to generate separately.
-
-The specified ``--base-image`` should have a libc that is compatible with the host system.
-For example if your host system is Ubuntu 20.04, you can use ``ubuntu:20.04``, ``ubuntu:22.04``
-or newer: the libc in the container image must be at least the version of the host system,
-assuming ABI compatibility. It is also perfectly fine to use a completely different
-Linux distribution as long as the libc is compatible.
-
-For convenience, Spack also turns the OCI registry into a :ref:`build cache <binary_caches_oci>`,
-so that future ``spack install`` of the environment will simply pull the binaries from the
-registry instead of doing source builds. The flag ``--update-index`` is needed to make Spack
-take the build cache into account when concretizing.
-
-.. note::
-
-  When generating container images in CI, the approach above is recommended when CI jobs
-  already run in a sandboxed environment. You can simply use ``spack`` directly
-  in the CI job and push the resulting image to a registry. Subsequent CI jobs should
-  run faster because Spack can install from the same registry instead of rebuilding from
-  sources.
-
----------------------------------------------
-Generating recipes for Docker and Singularity
----------------------------------------------
-
-Apart from copying existing installations into container images, Spack can also
-generate recipes for container images. This is useful if you want to run Spack
-itself in a sandboxed environment instead of on the host system.
-
-Since recipes need a little bit more boilerplate than
 
 .. code-block:: docker
 
    COPY spack.yaml /environment
    RUN spack -e /environment install
 
-Spack provides a command to generate customizable recipes for container images. Customizations
+Additional actions may be needed to minimize the size of the

+image, or to set up a proper entrypoint to run the image. These tasks are

+  This page is a reference for generating recipes to build container images.

+-------------
+Spack on Cray
+-------------
+
+Spack differs slightly when used on a Cray system. The architecture spec
+can differentiate between the front-end and back-end processor and operating system.
+For example, on Edison at NERSC, the back-end target processor
+is "Ivy Bridge", so you can specify to use the back-end this way:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install zlib target=ivybridge
+
+You can also use the operating system to build against the back-end:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install zlib os=CNL10
+
+Notice that the name includes both the operating system name and the major
+version number concatenated together.
+
+Alternatively, if you want to build something for the front-end,
+you can specify the front-end target processor. The processor for a login node
+on Edison is "Sandy bridge" so we specify on the command line like so:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install zlib target=sandybridge
+
+And the front-end operating system is:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install zlib os=SuSE11
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Cray compiler detection
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Spack can detect compilers using two methods. For the front-end, we treat
+everything the same. The difference lies in back-end compiler detection.
+Back-end compiler detection is made via the Tcl module avail command.
+Once it detects the compiler it writes the appropriate PrgEnv and compiler
+module name to compilers.yaml and sets the paths to each compiler with Cray\'s
+compiler wrapper names (i.e. cc, CC, ftn). During build time, Spack will load
+the correct PrgEnv and compiler module and will call appropriate wrapper.
+
+The compilers.yaml config file will also differ. There is a
+modules section that is filled with the compiler's Programming Environment
+and module name. On other systems, this field is empty []:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   - compiler:
+       modules:
+         - PrgEnv-intel
+         - intel/15.0.109
+
+As mentioned earlier, the compiler paths will look different on a Cray system.
+Since most compilers are invoked using cc, CC and ftn, the paths for each
+compiler are replaced with their respective Cray compiler wrapper names:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+     paths:
+       cc: cc
+       cxx: CC
+       f77: ftn
+       fc: ftn
+
+As opposed to an explicit path to the compiler executable. This allows Spack
+to call the Cray compiler wrappers during build time.
+
+For more on compiler configuration, check out :ref:`compiler-config`.
+
+Spack sets the default Cray link type to dynamic, to better match other
+other platforms. Individual packages can enable static linking (which is the
+default outside of Spack on cray systems) using the ``-static`` flag.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Setting defaults and using Cray modules
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you want to use default compilers for each PrgEnv and also be able
+to load cray external modules, you will need to set up a ``packages.yaml``.
+
+Here's an example of an external configuration for cray modules:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     mpich:
+       externals:
+       - spec: "mpich@7.3.1%gcc@5.2.0 arch=cray_xc-haswell-CNL10"
+         modules:
+         - cray-mpich
+       - spec: "mpich@7.3.1%intel@16.0.0.109 arch=cray_xc-haswell-CNL10"
+         modules:
+         - cray-mpich
+     all:
+       providers:
+         mpi: [mpich]
+
+This tells Spack that for whatever package that depends on mpi, load the
+cray-mpich module into the environment. You can then be able to use whatever
+environment variables, libraries, etc, that are brought into the environment
+via module load.
+
+.. note::
+
+    For Cray-provided packages, it is best to use ``modules:`` instead of ``prefix:``
+    in ``packages.yaml``, because the Cray Programming Environment heavily relies on
+    modules (e.g., loading the ``cray-mpich`` module adds MPI libraries to the
+    compiler wrapper link line).
+
+You can set the default compiler that Spack can use for each compiler type.
+If you want to use the Cray defaults, then set them under ``all:`` in packages.yaml.
+In the compiler field, set the compiler specs in your order of preference.
+Whenever you build with that compiler type, Spack will concretize to that version.
+
+Here is an example of a full packages.yaml used at NERSC
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   packages:
+     mpich:
+       externals:

+
+Here we tell spack that whenever we want to build with gcc use version 5.2.0 or
+if we want to build with intel compilers, use version 16.0.0.109. We add a spec
+for each compiler type for each cray modules. This ensures that for each

-Autoloading and hiding dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-A module file should set the variables that are needed for an application to work. But since an
-application often has many dependencies, where should all the environment variables for those be
-set? In Spack the rule is that each package sets the runtime variables that are needed by the
-package itself, and no more. This way, dependencies can be loaded standalone too, and duplication
-of environment variables is avoided.
-
-That means however that if you want to use an application, you need to load the modules for all its
-dependencies. Of course this is not something you would want users to do manually.
-
-Since Spack knows the dependency graph of every package, it can easily generate module files that
-automatically load the modules for its dependencies recursively. It is enabled by default for both
-Lmod and Environment Modules under the ``autoload: direct`` config option. The former system has
-builtin support through the ``depends_on`` function, the latter simply uses a ``module load``
-statement. Both module systems (at least in newer versions) do reference counting, so that if a
-module is loaded by two different modules, it will only be unloaded after the others are.
-
-The ``autoload`` key accepts the values:
-
-  * ``none``: no autoloading
-  * ``run``: autoload direct *run* type dependencies
-  * ``direct``: autoload direct *link and run* type dependencies
-  * ``all``: autoload all dependencies
-
-In case of ``run`` and ``direct``, a ``module load`` triggers a recursive load.
-
-The ``direct`` option is most correct: there are cases where pure link dependencies need to set
-variables for themselves, or need to have variables of their own dependencies set.
-
-In practice however, ``run`` is often sufficient, and may make ``module load`` snappier.
-
-The ``all`` option is discouraged and seldomly used.
-
-A common complaint about autoloading is the large number of modules that are visible to the user.
-Spack has a solution for this as well: ``hide_implicits: true``. This ensures that only those
-packages you've explicitly installed are exposed by ``module avail``, but still allows for
-autoloading of hidden dependencies. Lmod should support hiding implicits in general, while
-Environment Modules requires version 4.7 or higher.
-
-.. note::
-   If supported by your module system, we highly encourage the following configuration that enables
-   autoloading and hiding of implicits. It ensures all runtime variables are set correctly,
-   including those for dependencies, without overwhelming the user with a large number of available
