-
-# 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).

+# 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.

+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.
+
+``spack deprecate`` can use symbolic links or hard links. The default
+behavior is symbolic links, but the ``-l/--link-type`` flag can take
+options ``hard`` or ``soft``.
+
+-----------------------
+Verifying installations
+-----------------------
+
+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:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack unload mpich %gcc@4.4.7
-
-
-"""""""""""""""
-Ambiguous specs
-"""""""""""""""
-
-If a spec used with load/unload or is ambiguous (i.e. more than one
-installed package matches it), then Spack will warn you:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack load libelf
-   ==> Error: libelf matches multiple packages.
-   Matching packages:
-     qmm4kso libelf@0.8.13%gcc@4.4.7 arch=linux-debian7-x86_64
-     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
-
-   $ spack load /qmm4kso

-We'll learn more about Spack's spec syntax in the next section.

+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:
 
 .. code-block:: python
-   :emphasize-lines: 1,7-16
 
-    class MyCudaPackage(CMakePackage, CudaPackage):
+    class MyPackage(CMakePackage, CudaPackage):
         ...
         def cmake_args(self):
             spec = self.spec
-            args = []
-            ...
             if '+cuda' in spec:
-                # Set up the cuda macros needed by the build
-                args.append('-DWITH_CUDA=ON')
-                cuda_arch_list = spec.variants['cuda_arch'].value
-                cuda_arch = cuda_arch_list[0]
+                options.append('-DWITH_CUDA=ON')
+                cuda_arch = spec.variants['cuda_arch'].value
                 if cuda_arch != 'none':
-                    args.append('-DCUDA_FLAGS=-arch=sm_{0}'.format(cuda_arch))
+                    options.append('-DCUDA_FLAGS=-arch=sm_{0}'.format(cuda_arch[0]))
             else:
-                # Ensure build with cuda is disabled
-                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``.
-
-With over 70 packages using ``CudaPackage`` as of January 2021 there are
-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. 
-
-Example
-=======
-
-We start with a simple example that will be sufficient for most
-users. Install the oneAPI compilers::
-
-  spack install intel-oneapi-compilers
-
-Add the oneAPI compilers to the set of compilers that Spack can use::
-
-  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
-
-This adds the compilers to your ``compilers.yaml``. 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
-
-In addition to compilers, oneAPI contains many libraries. 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 in Spack will be
-exactly 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>`.
-
-
-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.
-
-More information
-================

-changed compared to Parallel Studio. See :ref:<intelpackage> for more
-information on :ref:<intel-virtual-packages>,

-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-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:

-
-^^^^^^^^
-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
-^^^^^
-

-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.

-Much like the ``pypi`` attribute for python packages, due to the fact that R
-packages are obtained from specific repositories, it is possible to set up shortcut

-.. code-block:: python

 Like Perl, Python, and R, Ruby has its own build system for
 installing Ruby gems.
 
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``RubyPackage`` base class provides the following phases that
-can be overridden:
-
-#. ``build`` - build everything needed to install
-#. ``install`` - install everything from build directory
-
-For packages that come with a ``*.gemspec`` file, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ gem build *.gemspec
-   $ gem install *.gem
-
-
-For packages that come with a ``Rakefile`` file, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ rake package
-   $ gem install *.gem
-
-
-For packages that come pre-packaged as a ``*.gem`` file, the build
-phase is skipped and the install phase runs:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ gem install *.gem
-
-
-These are all standard ``gem`` commands and can be found by running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ gem help commands
-
-
-For packages that only distribute ``*.gem`` files, these files can be
-downloaded with the ``expand=False`` option in the ``version`` directive.
-The build phase will be automatically skipped.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Important files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-When building from source, Ruby packages can be identified by the
-presence of any of the following files:
-
-* ``*.gemspec``
-* ``Rakefile``
-* ``setup.rb`` (not yet supported)
-
-However, not all Ruby packages are released as source code. Some are only
-released as ``*.gem`` files. These files can be extracted using:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ gem unpack *.gem
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-Description
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``*.gemspec`` file may contain something like:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-   summary = 'An implementation of the AsciiDoc text processor and publishing toolchain'
-   description = 'A fast, open source text processor and publishing toolchain for converting AsciiDoc content to HTML 5, DocBook 5, and other formats.'
-
-
-Either of these can be used for the description of the Spack package.
-
-^^^^^^^^
-Homepage
-^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``*.gemspec`` file may contain something like:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-   homepage = 'https://asciidoctor.org'
-
-
-This should be used as the official homepage of the Spack package.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-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.

-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.

-This second mode of selection for base images is more flexible than just
-choosing an operating system and a Spack version, but is also more demanding.
-Users may need to generate by themselves their base images and it's also their
-responsibility to ensure that:
-
-1. Spack is available in the ``build`` stage and set up correctly to install the required software
-2. The artifacts produced in the ``build`` stage can be executed in the ``final`` stage

+command from the directory where the ``spack.yaml`` resides:
 
-^^^
-MPI
-^^^
-Due to the dependency on Fortran for OpenMPI, which is the spack default
-implementation, consider adding ``gfortran`` to the ``apt-get install`` list.
+.. code-block:: console
 
-Recent versions of OpenMPI will require you to pass ``--allow-run-as-root``
-to your ``mpirun`` calls if started as root user inside Docker.
+   $ spack containerize
 
-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.

-Starting from CUDA 9.0, Nvidia provides minimal CUDA images based on

+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``.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ source config/fedora.bash
+    $ ./run-image.sh

-If you do not want to use Spack's shell support, you can always just run

-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

-sourcing time, ensuring future invocations of the ``spack`` command will

+
+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

+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.

+            environment:
+              set:
+                __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME: nvidia
+          opengl@4.5+egl+glvnd:
+            environment:
+              set:
+                __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.

+Neither of these is particularly pretty, easy to remember, or

+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+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 ...
+
+   $ 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``.  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.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Ambiguous specs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If a spec used with load/unload or is ambiguous (i.e. more than one
+installed package matches it), then Spack will warn you:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack load libelf
+   ==> Error: libelf matches multiple packages.
+   Matching packages:
+     libelf@0.8.13%gcc@4.4.7 arch=linux-debian7-x86_64
+     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.
+
+.. _cmd-spack-module-loads:
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+``spack module tcl loads``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In some cases, it is desirable to use a Spack-generated module, rather
+than relying on Spack's built-in user-environment modification
+capabilities. To translate a spec into a module name, use ``spack
+module tcl loads`` or ``spack module lmod loads`` depending on the
+module system desired.
+
+
+To load not just a module, but also all the modules it depends on, use
+the ``--dependencies`` option. This is not required for most modules
+because Spack builds binaries with RPATH support.  However, not all
+packages use RPATH to find their dependencies: this can be true in
+particular for Python extensions, which are currently *not* built with
+RPATH.
+
+Scripts to load modules recursively may be made with the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ spack module tcl loads --dependencies <spec>
+
+An equivalent alternative using `process substitution <http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/process-sub.html>`_ is:
+
+.. code-block :: console
+
+    $ source <( spack module tcl loads --dependencies <spec> )
+
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Module Commands for Shell Scripts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Although Spack is flexible, the ``module`` command is much faster.
+This could become an issue when emitting a series of ``spack load``
+commands inside a shell script.  By adding the ``--dependencies`` flag,
+``spack module tcl loads`` may also be used to generate code that can be
+cut-and-pasted into a shell script.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ spack module tcl loads --dependencies py-numpy git
+    # bzip2@1.0.6%gcc@4.9.3=linux-x86_64

+Module Prefixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+

-``spack module tcl loads``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In some cases, it is desirable to use a Spack-generated module, rather
-than relying on Spack's built-in user-environment modification
-capabilities. To translate a spec into a module name, use ``spack
-module tcl loads`` or ``spack module lmod loads`` depending on the
-module system desired.
-
-
-To load not just a module, but also all the modules it depends on, use
-the ``--dependencies`` option. This is not required for most modules
-because Spack builds binaries with RPATH support.  However, not all
-packages use RPATH to find their dependencies: this can be true in
-particular for Python extensions, which are currently *not* built with
-RPATH.
-
-Scripts to load modules recursively may be made with the command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack module tcl loads --dependencies <spec>
-
-An equivalent alternative using `process substitution <http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/process-sub.html>`_ is:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ source <( spack module tcl loads --dependencies <spec> )
-
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Module Commands for Shell Scripts
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Although Spack is flexible, the ``module`` command is much faster.
-This could become an issue when emitting a series of ``spack load``
-commands inside a shell script.  By adding the ``--dependencies`` flag,
-``spack module tcl loads`` may also be used to generate code that can be
-cut-and-pasted into a shell script.  For example:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack module tcl loads --dependencies py-numpy git

-Deprecating old versions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-There are many reasons to remove old versions of software:
-
-#. Security vulnerabilities (most serious reason)
-#. Changing build systems that increase package complexity
-#. Changing dependencies/patches/resources/flags that increase package complexity
-#. Maintainer/developer inability/unwillingness to support old versions
-#. No longer available for download (right to be forgotten)
-#. Package or version rename
-
-At the same time, there are many reasons to keep old versions of software:
-
-#. Reproducibility
-#. Requirements for older packages (e.g. some packages still rely on Qt 3)
-
-In general, you should not remove old versions from a ``package.py``. Instead,
-you should first deprecate them using the following syntax:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   version('1.2.3', sha256='...', deprecated=True)
-
-
-This has two effects. First, ``spack info`` will no longer advertise that
-version. Second, commands like ``spack install`` that fetch the package will
-require user approval:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack install openssl@1.0.1e
-   ==> Warning: openssl@1.0.1e is deprecated and may be removed in a future Spack release.
-   ==>   Fetch anyway? [y/N]
-
-
-If you use ``spack install --deprecated``, this check can be skipped.
-
-This also applies to package recipes that are renamed or removed. You should
-first deprecate all versions before removing a package. If you need to rename
-it, you can deprecate the old package and create a new package at the same
-time.
-
-Version deprecations should always last at least one Spack minor release cycle
-before the version is completely removed. For example, if a version is
-deprecated in Spack 0.16.0, it should not be removed until Spack 0.17.0. No
-version should be removed without such a deprecation process. This gives users
-a chance to complain about the deprecation in case the old version is needed
-for some application. If you require a deprecated version of a package, simply
-submit a PR to remove ``deprecated=True`` from the package. However, you may be
-asked to help maintain this version of the package if the current maintainers
-are unwilling to support this older version.

-.. warning::
-
-   The API for adding and running install tests is not yet considered
-   stable and may change drastically in future releases. Packages with
-   install tests will be refactored to match changes to the API.
-
-While build tests are integrated with the build system, install tests
-are for testing package installations independent of the build process.
-
-Install tests are executed in a test stage directory that defaults to
-``~/.spack/test``. You can change the location in the high-level ``config``
-by adding the ``test_stage`` path as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   config:
-     test_stage: /path/to/stage
-
-""""""""""""""""""""
-Adding install tests
-""""""""""""""""""""
-
-Install tests are added to a package by defining a ``test`` method
-with the following signature:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   def test(self):
-
-These tests run in an environment that provides access to the
-package and all of its dependencies, including ``test``-type
-dependencies.
-
-Standard python ``assert`` statements and other error reporting
-mechanisms can be used in the ``test`` method. Spack will report
-such errors as test failures.
-
-You can implement multiple tests (or test parts) within the ``test``
-method, where each is run separately and testing continues after
-failures by using the ``run_test`` method. The signature for the
-method is:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   def run_test(self, exe, options=[], expected=[], status=0, installed=False,
-                purpose='', skip_missing=False, work_dir=None):
-
-The test fails if there is no executable named ``exe`` found in the
-paths of the ``PATH`` variable **unless** ``skip_missing`` is ``True``.
-The test also fails if the resulting path is not within the prefix of
-the package being tested when ``installed`` is ``True``.
-
-The executable runs in ``work_dir``, when specified, using the provided
-``options``. The return code is checked against the ``status`` argument,
-which can be an integer or list of integers representing status codes
-corresponding to successful execution (e.g. ``status=[0,3,7]``).
-Spack also checks that every string in ``expected`` is a regex matching
-part of the output from the test run (e.g.
-``expected=['completed successfully', 'converged in']``). Default behavior
-is to behave as though ``status=[0]`` and ``expected=[]`` are specified.
-
-Output from the test is written to its log file. The ``purpose`` argument
-serves as the heading in text logs to highlight the start of each test part.
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""
-Enabling test compilation
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-Some tests may require access to the compiler with which the package
-was built, especially to test library-only packages. You must enable
-loading the package's compiler configuration by setting the attribute
-``test_requires_compiler`` to ``True``. Doing so makes the compiler
-available in the test environment through the canonical environment
-variables (``CC``, ``CXX``, ``FC``, ``F77``).
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""
-Adding build-time files
-"""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-.. note::
-
-    We highly recommend the re-use of build-time tests and input files
-    for testing installed software.  These files are easier to keep
-    synchronized with the software than creating custom install tests.
-
-You can use the ``cache_extra_test_sources`` method copy directories
-and or files from the build stage directory to the package's installation
-directory.
-
-For example, a package method for copying everything in the ``tests``
-subdirectory plus the ``foo.c`` and ``bar.c`` files from ``examples``
-can be implemented as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   @run_after('install')
-   def cache_test_sources(self):
-       srcs = ['tests', 'examples/foo.c', 'examples/bar.c']
-       self.cache_extra_test_sources(srcs)
-
-The use of the ``run_after`` directive ensures the associated files
-are copied **after** the package is installed during the build process.
-
-The method copies files to the package's metadata directory under
-the ``self.install_test_root``. All files in the package source's
-``tests`` directory for the example above will be copied to the
-``join_path(self.install_test_root, 'tests')`` directory. The two
-files listed under the staged ``examples`` directory will be copied
-to the ``join_path(self.install_test_root, 'examples')`` directory.
-
-.. note::
-
-    While source and input files are generally recommended, binaries
-    may also be cached by the build process for install testing.
-
-"""""""""""""""""""
-Adding custom files
-"""""""""""""""""""
-
-Some tests may require additional files not available from the build.
-Examples include:
-
-- test source files
-- test input files
-- test build scripts
-- expected test output
-
-These extra files should be added to the ``test`` subdirectory of the
-package in the repository. Spack will automaticaly copy any files in
-that directory to the test staging directory during install testing.

 Making a package discoverable with ``spack external find``
 ----------------------------------------------------------
 
-The simplest way to make a package discoverable with
-:ref:`spack external find <cmd-spack-external-find>` is to:
+To make a package discoverable with
+:ref:`spack external find <cmd-spack-external-find>` you must
+define one or more executables associated with the package and must
+implement a method to generate a Spec when given an executable.
 
-1. Define the executables associated with the package
-2. Implement a method to determine the versions of these executables
+The executables are specified as a package level ``executables``
+attribute which is a list of strings (see example below); each string
+is treated as a regular expression (e.g. 'gcc' would match 'gcc', 'gcc-8.3',
+'my-weird-gcc', etc.).
 
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Minimal detection
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The first step is fairly simple, as it requires only to
-specify a package level ``executables`` attribute:
+The method ``determine_spec_details`` has the following signature:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-   class Foo(Package):
-       # Each string provided here is treated as a regular expression, and
-       # would match for example 'foo', 'foobar', and 'bazfoo'.
-       executables = ['foo']
-
-This attribute must be a list of strings. Each string is a regular
-expression (e.g. 'gcc' would match 'gcc', 'gcc-8.3', 'my-weird-gcc', etc.) to
-determine a set of system executables that might be part or this package. Note
-that to match only executables named 'gcc' the regular expression ``'^gcc$'``
-must be used.
-
-Finally to determine the version of each executable the ``determine_version``
-method must be implemented:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   @classmethod
-   def determine_version(cls, exe):
-       """Return either the version of the executable passed as argument
-       or ``None`` if the version cannot be determined.
-
-       Args:
-           exe (str): absolute path to the executable being examined
-       """
-
-This method receives as input the path to a single executable and must return
-as output its version as a string; if the user cannot determine the version
-or determines that the executable is not an instance of the package, they can
-return None and the exe will be discarded as a candidate.
-Implementing the two steps above is mandatory, and gives the package the
-basic ability to detect if a spec is present on the system at a given version.
-
-.. note::
-   Any executable for which the ``determine_version`` method returns ``None``
-   will be discarded and won't appear in later stages of the workflow described below.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Additional functionality
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Besides the two mandatory steps described above, there are also optional
-methods that can be implemented to either increase the amount of details
-being detected or improve the robustness of the detection logic in a package.
-
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-Variants and custom attributes
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-The ``determine_variants`` method can be optionally implemented in a package
-to detect additional details of the spec:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   @classmethod
-   def determine_variants(cls, exes, version_str):
-       """Return either a variant string, a tuple of a variant string
-       and a dictionary of extra attributes that will be recorded in
-       packages.yaml or a list of those items.
-
-       Args:
-           exes (list of str): list of executables (absolute paths) that
-               live in the same prefix and share the same version
-           version_str (str): version associated with the list of
-               executables, as detected by ``determine_version``
-       """
-
-This method takes as input a list of executables that live in the same prefix and
-share the same version string, and returns either:
-
-1. A variant string
-2. A tuple of a variant string and a dictionary of extra attributes
-3. A list of items matching either 1 or 2 (if multiple specs are detected
-   from the set of executables)
-
-If extra attributes are returned, they will be recorded in ``packages.yaml``
-and be available for later reuse. As an example, the ``gcc`` package will record
-by default the different compilers found and an entry in ``packages.yaml``
-would look like:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   packages:
-     gcc:
-       externals:
-       - spec: 'gcc@9.0.1 languages=c,c++,fortran'
-         prefix: /usr
-         extra_attributes:
-           compilers:
-             c: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-9
-             c++: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++-9
-             fortran: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gfortran-9
-
-This allows us, for instance, to keep track of executables that would be named
-differently if built by Spack (e.g. ``x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-9``
-instead of just ``gcc``).
-
-.. TODO: we need to gather some more experience on overriding 'prefix'
-   and other special keywords in extra attributes, but as soon as we are
-   confident that this is the way to go we should document the process.

-Filter matching executables
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-Sometimes defining the appropriate regex for the ``executables``
-attribute might prove to be difficult, especially if one has to
-deal with corner cases or exclude "red herrings". To help keeping
-the regular expressions as simple as possible, each package can
-optionally implement a ``filter_executables`` method:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @classmethod
-    def filter_detected_exes(cls, prefix, exes_in_prefix):
-        """Return a filtered list of the executables in prefix"""
-
-which takes as input a prefix and a list of matching executables and
-returns a filtered list of said executables.
-
-Using this method has the advantage of allowing custom logic for
-filtering, and does not restrict the user to regular expressions
-only.  Consider the case of detecting the GNU C++ compiler. If we
-try to search for executables that match ``g++``, that would have
-the unwanted side effect of selecting also ``clang++`` - which is
-a C++ compiler provided by another package - if present on the system.
-Trying to select executables that contain ``g++`` but not ``clang``
-would be quite complicated to do using regex only. Employing the
-``filter_detected_exes`` method it becomes:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Gcc(Package):
-      executables = ['g++']
-
-      def filter_detected_exes(cls, prefix, exes_in_prefix):
-         return [x for x in exes_in_prefix if 'clang' not in x]
-
-Another possibility that this method opens is to apply certain
-filtering logic when specific conditions are met (e.g. take some
-decisions on an OS and not on another).
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Validate detection
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To increase detection robustness, packagers may also implement a method
-to validate the detected Spec objects:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   @classmethod
-   def validate_detected_spec(cls, spec, extra_attributes):
-       """Validate a detected spec. Raise an exception if validation fails."""
-
-This method receives a detected spec along with its extra attributes and can be
-used to check that certain conditions are met by the spec. Packagers can either
-use assertions or raise an ``InvalidSpecDetected`` exception when the check fails.
-In case the conditions are not honored the spec will be discarded and any message
-associated with the assertion or the exception will be logged as the reason for
-discarding it.
-
-As an example, a package that wants to check that the ``compilers`` attribute is
-in the extra attributes can implement this method like this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   @classmethod
-   def validate_detected_spec(cls, spec, extra_attributes):
-       """Check that 'compilers' is in the extra attributes."""
-       msg = ('the extra attribute "compilers" must be set for '
-              'the detected spec "{0}"'.format(spec))
-       assert 'compilers' in extra_attributes, msg
-
-or like this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   @classmethod
-   def validate_detected_spec(cls, spec, extra_attributes):
-       """Check that 'compilers' is in the extra attributes."""
-       if 'compilers' not in extra_attributes:
-           msg = ('the extra attribute "compilers" must be set for '
-                  'the detected spec "{0}"'.format(spec))
-           raise InvalidSpecDetected(msg)

+Build System Configuration Support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Imagine a developer creating a CMake or Autotools-based project in a
+local directory, which depends on libraries A-Z.  Once Spack has
+installed those dependencies, one would like to run ``cmake`` with
+appropriate command line and environment so CMake can find them.  The
+``spack setup`` command does this conveniently, producing a CMake
+configuration that is essentially the same as how Spack *would have*
+configured the project.  This can be demonstrated with a usage
+example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ cd myproject
+   $ spack setup myproject@local
+   $ mkdir build; cd build
+   $ ../spconfig.py ..
+   $ make
+   $ make install
+
+Notes:
+
+* Spack must have ``myproject/package.py`` in its repository for
+  this to work.
+* ``spack setup`` produces the executable script ``spconfig.py`` in
+  the local directory, and also creates the module file for the
+  package.  ``spconfig.py`` is normally run from the user's
+  out-of-source build directory.
+* The version number given to ``spack setup`` is arbitrary, just
+  like ``spack diy``.  ``myproject/package.py`` does not need to
+  have any valid downloadable versions listed (typical when a
+  project is new).
+* spconfig.py produces a CMake configuration that *does not* use the
+  Spack wrappers.  Any resulting binaries *will not* use RPATH,
+  unless the user has enabled it.  This is recommended for
+  development purposes, not production.
+* ``spconfig.py`` is human readable, and can serve as a developer
+  reference of what dependencies are being used.
+* ``make install`` installs the package into the Spack repository,
+  where it may be used by other Spack packages.
+* CMake-generated makefiles re-run CMake in some circumstances.  Use
+  of ``spconfig.py`` breaks this behavior, requiring the developer
+  to manually re-run ``spconfig.py`` when a ``CMakeLists.txt`` file
+  has changed.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+CMakePackage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to enable ``spack setup`` functionality, the author of
+``myproject/package.py`` must subclass from ``CMakePackage`` instead
+of the standard ``Package`` superclass.  Because CMake is
+standardized, the packager does not need to tell Spack how to run
+``cmake; make; make install``.  Instead the packager only needs to
+create (optional) methods ``configure_args()`` and ``configure_env()``, which
+provide the arguments (as a list) and extra environment variables (as
+a dict) to provide to the ``cmake`` command.  Usually, these will
+translate variant flags into CMake definitions.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   def cmake_args(self):
+       spec = self.spec
+       return [
+           '-DUSE_EVERYTRACE=%s' % ('YES' if '+everytrace' in spec else 'NO'),
+           '-DBUILD_PYTHON=%s' % ('YES' if '+python' in spec else 'NO'),
+           '-DBUILD_GRIDGEN=%s' % ('YES' if '+gridgen' in spec else 'NO'),
+           '-DBUILD_COUPLER=%s' % ('YES' if '+coupler' in spec else 'NO'),
+           '-DUSE_PISM=%s' % ('YES' if '+pism' in spec else 'NO')
+       ]
+
+If needed, a packager may also override methods defined in
+``StagedPackage`` (see below).
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+StagedPackage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``CMakePackage`` is implemented by subclassing the ``StagedPackage``
+superclass, which breaks down the standard ``Package.install()``
+method into several sub-stages: ``setup``, ``configure``, ``build``
+and ``install``.  Details:
+
+* Instead of implementing the standard ``install()`` method, package
+  authors implement the methods for the sub-stages
+  ``install_setup()``, ``install_configure()``,
+  ``install_build()``, and ``install_install()``.
+
+* The ``spack install`` command runs the sub-stages ``configure``,
+  ``build`` and ``install`` in order.  (The ``setup`` stage is
+  not run by default; see below).
+* The ``spack setup`` command runs the sub-stages ``setup``
+  and a dummy install (to create the module file).
+* The sub-stage install methods take no arguments (other than
+  ``self``).  The arguments ``spec`` and ``prefix`` to the standard
+  ``install()`` method may be accessed via ``self.spec`` and
+  ``self.prefix``.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+GNU Autotools
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``setup`` functionality is currently only available for
+CMake-based packages.  Extending this functionality to GNU
+Autotools-based packages would be easy (and should be done by a
+developer who actively uses Autotools).  Packages that use
+non-standard build systems can gain ``setup`` functionality by
+subclassing ``StagedPackage`` directly.

-
-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

+------------------------------
+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).
+
+.. _write-the-spack-package:
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Write the Spack Package
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Spack package also needs to be written, in tandem with setting up
+the build (for example, CMake).  The most important part of this task
+is declaring dependencies.  Here is an example of the Spack package
+for the ``mylib`` package (ellipses for brevity):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   class Mylib(CMakePackage):
+       """Misc. reusable utilities used by Myapp."""
+
+       homepage = "https://github.com/citibeth/mylib"

+       depends_on('eigen')
+       depends_on('everytrace', when='+everytrace')
+       depends_on('proj', when='+proj')
+       ...
+       depends_on('cmake', type='build')
+       depends_on('doxygen', type='build')
+
+       def cmake_args(self):
+           spec = self.spec
+           return [
+               '-DUSE_EVERYTRACE=%s' % ('YES' if '+everytrace' in spec else 'NO'),
+               '-DUSE_PROJ4=%s' % ('YES' if '+proj' in spec else 'NO'),
+               ...
+               '-DUSE_UDUNITS2=%s' % ('YES' if '+udunits2' in spec else 'NO'),
+               '-DUSE_GTEST=%s' % ('YES' if '+googletest' in spec else 'NO')]
+
+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
+
+   FROM       ubuntu:16.04
+   MAINTAINER Your Name <someone@example.com>
+
+   # general environment for docker
+   ENV        DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
+              SPACK_ROOT=/usr/local
+

+   RUN        apt-get update \
+              && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
+                 autoconf \

+
+   # install spack

+              | tar xzC $SPACK_ROOT --strip 1
+   # note: at this point one could also run ``spack bootstrap`` to avoid

+Best Practices
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+"""
+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
+
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+Docker for Development
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+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.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   config:
+     build_jobs: 2

-          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.

-# Archspec (Python bindings)
-
-Archspec aims at providing a standard set of human-understandable labels for
-various aspects of a system architecture  like CPU, network fabrics, etc. and
-APIs to detect, query and compare them.
-
-This project grew out of [Spack](https://spack.io/) and is currently under
-active development. At present it supports APIs to detect and model
-compatibility relationships among different CPU microarchitectures.
-
-## Getting started with development
-
-The `archspec` Python package needs [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) to
-be installed from VCS sources. The preferred method to install it is via
-its custom installer outside of any virtual environment:
-```console
-$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
-```
-You can refer to [Poetry's documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation)
-for further details or for other methods to install this tool. You'll also need `tox`
-to run unit test:
-```console
-$ pip install --user tox
-```
-Finally you'll need to clone the repository:
-```console
-$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/archspec/archspec.git
-```
-
-### Running unit tests
-Once you have your environment ready you can run `archspec` unit tests
-using ``tox`` from the root of the repository:
-```console
-$ tox
-  [ ... ]
-  py27: commands succeeded
-  py35: commands succeeded
-  py36: commands succeeded
-  py37: commands succeeded
-  py38: commands succeeded
-  pylint: commands succeeded
-  flake8: commands succeeded
-  black: commands succeeded
-  congratulations :)
