This fixes an issue where pkg.stage throws because a patch cannot be found,
but the patch is redundant because the spec is reused from a build cache and
will be installed from existing binaries.
Part 4 of reworking all package metadata to key by `when` conditions.
Changes conflict dictionary structure from this:
{ provided_spec: {when_spec, ...} }
to this:
{ when_spec: {provided_spec, ...} }
`make_when_spec()` was being used in the solver, but it has semantics that are specific
to parsing when specs from `package.py`. In particular, it returns `None` when the
`when` spec is `False`, and directives are responsible for ignoring that case and not
adding requirements, deps, etc. when there's an actual `False` passed in from
`package.py`.
In `asp.py`, we know that there won't ever be a raw boolean when spec or constraint, so
we know we can parse them without any of the special boolean handling. However, we
should report where in the file the error happened on error, so this adds some parsing
logic to extract the `mark` from YAML and alert the user where the bad parse is.
- [x] refactor `config.py` so that basic `spack_yaml` mark info is in its own method
- [x] refactor `asp.py` so that it uses the smarter YAML parsing routine
- [x] refactor `asp.py` so that YAML input validation for requirements is done up front
Part 3 of reworking all package metadata to key by `when` conditions.
Changes conflict dictionary structure from this:
{ (requirement_spec, ...): [(when_spec, policy, msg)] }
to this:
{ when_spec: [((requirement_spec, ...), policy, msg), ...] }
Part 2 of reworking all package metadata to key by `when` conditions.
Changes conflict dictionary structure from this:
{ conflict_spec: [(when_spec, msg), ...] }
to this:
{ when_spec: [(conflict_spec, msg), ...] }
Also attempts to consistently name the variables used to iterate over conflict
dictionaries.
Part 1 of making all package metadata indexed by `when` condition. This
will allow us to handle all the dictionaries on `PackageBase` consistently.
Convert the current dependency dictionary structure from this:
{ name: { when_spec: [Dependency ...] } }
to this:
{ when_spec: { name: [Dependency ...] } }
On an M1 mac, this actually shaves 5% off the time it takes to load all
packages, I think because we're able to trade off lookups by spec key
for more lookups by name.
* Boost: add version 1.84.0
* Conflict with 98/03
* Set C++11 as default
Starting with 1.84.0, the minimum required is c++11. It has been a very
long time since 98/03 has been required. It's time to bump the minimum.
* Add OpenMPI 5.0.0/5.0.1 release
* Fix a problem with dlopen syms with 5.0.0
* Crank up lex buffer to 1MB so that Open MPI's compiler wrapper can parse the enormously long lines present in, for example, mpicc-wrapper-data.txt when the spack install is utilizing Spack's path padding feature.
* Disable romio by default for 5.0.0 and beyond owing to problems compiling the romio package when using the Intel OneAPI compiler.
* Patch for addiing cuda lib location in case of non-standard location of libcuda.so
* build accel components as DSOs. It appears from looking at some of the spack CI that it implicitly assumes that Open MPI is built with components as DSOs. The default behavior for Open MPI was changed between the 4.1.x release stream and the 5.0.x release stream changed and this premise is now incorrect.
Turns out that starting with Open MPI 5.0.0 building static
does not work when using a now very important variant, namely cuda.
In older versions of Open MPI the libcuda.so was dlopened at
run time when needed, but now libcuda is linked in to the cuda
components of openmpi directly. This works when using Open MPI's
dynamically loadable component option, but doesn't work now for
a lot of the Spack CI pipelines because they don't include libcuda.so
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH of packages that dont think they are using
cuda themselves.

Needed for #40326, which can changes the iteration order over package dependencies during concretization.
While clingo doesn't have this problem, the original concretizer (which we still use for bootstrapping) can be sensitive to iteration order when evaluating dependency constraints in `when` conditions. This can cause it to ignore conditional dependencies unless the dependencies in the condition are listed first in the package.
The issue was in the way the original concretizer would disconnect specs *every* time `normalize()` ran. When specs were disconnected, `^dependency` constraints wouldn't see the dependency in the dependency condition loop.
We now only only disconnect *all* dependencies at the start of `concretize()` and `normalize()`, and we disconnect any leftover dependents from replaced externals at the *end* of `normalize()`. This trims stale connections while keeping the ones that are needed to trigger dependency conditions.
- [x] refactor `flat_dependencies()` to not disconnect the spec by default.
- [x] `flat_dependencies()` is never called with `copy=True` -- remove the `copy` kwarg.
- [x] disconnect only once at the beginning of `normalize()` or `concretize()`.
- [x] add a test that perturbs dependency iteration order to ensure this doesn't regress.
- [x] disconnect unused dependents at end of `normalize()`
* setup-env: Fix back and forth between two instances
* setup-env.csh: Fix SPACK_ROOT when switch to a different instance
i.e. Always look for the current SPACK_ROOT
* setup-env: Update comments
This adds options to `spack list` that allow you to list only packages from specific
repositories/namespaces, e.g.:
```console
spack list -r builtin
```
only lists packages from the `builtin` repo, while:
```console
spack list -r myrepo -r myrepo2
```
would list packages from `myrepo` and `myrepo2`, but not from `builtin`. Note that you
can use the same argument multiple times.
You can use either `-r` / `--repo` or `-N` / `--namespace`. `-N` is there to match the
corresponding option on `spack find`.
- [x] add `-r` / `--repo` / `-N` / `--namespace` argument
- [x] add test
* Add rust-analyzer as variant to rust build
* Expose cargo module only when +cargo

This method is vestigial; the only arg we ever used was `ignore=`, and that was
eliminated in #29317 and #35588.
The `kwargs` field of the extensions dictionary is actually completely unused now. Add a
note for future removal.
Literal compiler config in `test_requires_directive` specifically lists `target:
x86_64`, but it doesn't need to, and the unnecessary target makes the test fail on
non-`x86_64` machines.
- [x] Remove target from config yaml in `test_requires_directive`
* py-torch: set env OpenBLAS_HOME
Because [`FindOpenBLAS.cmake`](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/cmake/Modules/FindOpenBLAS.cmake) uses a hardcoded list of search paths for includes and libraries, we have to pass the `OpenBLAS_HOME` environment variable.
* py-torch: patch for ${OpenBLAS_HOME}/include/openblas
The context of this patch is unchanged since v0.4.0.
* py-torch: move patch before def patch

PAPI CI checks a `spack install` of `papi@master`, and the open range here breaks their
CI with the fix because the patch is no longer needed (see #26784, #27625 for why it's
difficult to avoid this).
The patch issue is going to be fixed in PAPI upstream with whatever release is after
`7.1.0`, so we can restrict the patch to `7.1.0` and avoid this issue.
* shell: fix zsh color formatting for PS1 in environments
The `colorize` function in `llnl.util.tty.color` only applies proper formatting for Bash
ANSI and for console output, but this is not what zsh expects for environment variables.
In particular, when using `zsh`, `spack env activate -p` produces a `PS1` prompt that
looks like this:
```
\[\033[0;92m\][ENVIRONMENT]\[\033[0m\]
```
For zsh the formatting should be:
```
\e[0;92m[ENVIRONMENT]\e0;m
```
- [x] Add a `zsh` option to `colorize()` to enable zsh color formatting
- [x] Add conditional to choose the right `PS1` for `zsh`, `bash`, and `sh`
- [x] Don't use color escapes for `sh`, as they don't print properly
* convert lots of += lines to triple quotes
No online release notes or repository, but the new tarball has the following in `NEWS`:
* ThePEG-2.3.0 release: 2023-12-11
** gcc-12/c++17/c++20 compatibility added
** hepmc3 compatibility added
** rivet interface improved
** inforstructure for dark interaction added
PAPI 7.1.0 unconditionally adds `FFLAGS = -ffree-form` in the sysdetect tests,
regardless of the compiler.
This was added in https://github.com/icl-utk-edu/papi/pull/108 to make a build with
`armflang` work, but it breaks CCE (and our `develop` pipeline).
- [x] Add a patch that fixes both problems
- [x] Patch PAPI when at 7.1.0 or higher
Add a "checked_by" field to the `license()` directive so that we can track who verified
the license for a project. also check the license of 18 or so projects and mark them
checked.
This patch adds license information for about 5,300 packages from automated sources.
The license information was obtained from Alpine Linux and PyPI and processed
using tooling available in https://github.com/boomanaiden154/spack-license-utils.
The license field was added in after all other directives in an automated fashion.
Note that while this license information is probably fairly accurate, it is not
guaranteed to be accurate. In addition some of the license strings from Alpine Linux
might not be valid SPDX license strings. Invalid SPDX identifiers can be picked up
and fixed once we have validation/parsing infrastructure in place for the solver,
and issues can be fixed as they come up.
This adds a few options to `spack gc`.
One to give you a little more control over dependencies:
* `-b` / `--keep-build-dependencies`: By default, `spack gc` considers build dependencies to be "no longer needed" once their dependents are installed. With this option, we'll keep build dependencies of needed installations as well.
And two more to make working with environments easier:
* `-E` / `--except-any-environment`: Garbage collect anything NOT needed by an environment. `spack gc -E` and `spack gc -bE` are now easy ways to get rid of everytihng not used by some environment.
* `-e` / `--except-environment` `ENV`: Instead of considering all environments, garbage collect everything not needed by a *specific* environment. Note that you can use this with `-E` to add directory environments to the list of considered envs, e.g.:
spack gc -E -e /path/to/direnv1 -e /path/to/direnv2 #...
- [x] rework `unused_specs()` method on DB to add options for roots and deptypes
- [x] add `all_hashes()` method on DB
- [x] rework `spack gc` command to add 3 more options
- [x] tests
* Add all versions back to 0.20, add more depends_on (flex, bison, libffi and ccache), add the ability to enable or disable both abc and ccache, abc is enabled by default, ccache is disabled by default
* Fixed style with black
* Removed unused f-string setups

This reverts commit 0db3df4fe2.
* Patch HIP_PATH to work with Spack-built HIP
* Patch LDFLAGS with llvm-amdgpu path
* Forgot the depends_on line
* libomptarget only builds with clang
* Try a self-consistent build of llvm-amdgpu
* Try making llvm-amdgpu depend on llvm for llvmoffloadarch library

For now, this only includes packages that I personally maintain.
Notable removals:
* Anaconda 2
* Catalyst
* Ancient numpy/scipy
* Ancient PyTorch
* Ancient Bazel/TF
To work properly, Spack requires a few directories from its repository to be added to
`sys.path`. Previously these were buried in `spack_installable.main.main()`, but it's
sometimes useful to get the paths separately, e.g., if you want to set up your own
functioning spack environment.
With this change, adding the paths is much simpler:
```python
import spack_installable
sys.path[:0] = get_spack_sys_paths(spack_prefix)
```
- [x] Add `get_spack_sys_paths()` method with extra paths in order.
- [x] Refactor `spack_installable.main.main()` to use it.
With an improper/incomplete/broken installation of Clingo, it can be
importable but not have any of the expected attributes
Improve error reporting in this case
* Restore PackageBase class, and modify only ASP
This prevents a noticeable slowdown in concretization
due to the number of directives involved.
* Fix issue with 'clang' being preferred to 'gcc',
due to runtime version weights
* Constraints on runtimes are declared by compilers
The declaration of available runtime versions, and of
their compatibility constraints are in the associated
compiler class.

The gcc-runtime package adds a separate node for gcc's dynamic runtime
libraries.
This should help with:
1. binary caches where rpaths for compiler support libs cannot be
relocated because the compiler is missing on the target system
2. creating "minimal" container images
The package is versioned like `gcc` (in principle it could be
unversioned, but Spack doesn't always guarantee not mixing compilers)
If you are calling Spack from the python API, you might have written something like this
before #41529:
```
find = SpackCommand("find")
find('--format={name}', 'saxpy@1.0.0', '+rocm', 'amdgpu_target="gfx90a"')
```
But with the breaking change in #41529, you should write:
```
find = SpackCommand("find")
find('--format={name}', 'gromacs', '+rocm', 'amdgpu_target=gfx90a')
```
Note that we don't need quotes in Python strings, and that this is what would come in
via argv if you typed a quoted variant on the CLI.
The error messages for strings like this are not great -- you get something like this:
```
==> No package matches the query: gromacs+rocm amdgpu_target="gfx90a"
```
Which doesn't indicate that the issue might be your quoting. This is because we were
simply outputting the argv we got, instead of using spec.format() to output the error
message. This PR fixes such errors to use `spec.format()` and to look like this:
```
==> No package matches the query: gromacs+rocm amdgpu_target='"gfx90a"'
```
So users should have an easier time understanding that Spack considers the variant value
to contain quotes here.
- [x] update ConstraintAction to store parsed Specs
- [x] refactor commands to display formatted parsed Specs instead of raw input
Users expect that changes to the externals sections in packages.yaml config apply immediately, but reuse concretization caused this not to be the case. With this commit, the concretizer is only allowed to reuse externals previously imported from config if identical config exists.
This PR adds a flag `--tag/-t` to `buildcache push`, which you can use like
```
$ spack mirror add my-oci-registry oci://example.com/hello/world
$ spack -e my_env buildcache push --base-image ubuntu:22.04 --tag my_custom_tag my-oci-registry
```
and lets users ship a full, installed environment as a minimal container image where each image layer is one Spack package, on top of a base image of choice. The image can then be used as
```
$ docker run -it --rm example.com/hello/world:my_custom_tag
```
Apart from environments, users can also pick arbitrary installed spec from their database, for instance:
```
$ spack buildcache push --base-image ubuntu:22.04 --tag some_specs my-oci-registry gcc@12 cmake
$ docker run -it --rm example.com/hello/world:some_specs
```
It has many advantages over `spack containerize`:
1. No external tools required (`docker`, `buildah`, ...)
2. Creates images from locally installed Spack packages (No need to rebuild inside `docker build`, where troubleshooting build failures is notoriously hard)
3. No need for multistage builds (Spack just tarballs existing installations of runtime deps)
4. Reduced storage size / composability: when pushing multiple environments with common specs, container image layers are shared.
5. Automatic build cache: later `spack install` of the env elsewhere speeds up since the containerized environment is a build cache
These packages were written before the "requires" directive,
and so they are conflicting with all compilers but Fujitsu
to express they _require_ `%fj`
* Ensure a spack libproj is used instead of a system libproj when libproj < 8.
spack/spack/issues/41299
* Fix style as per ci-bot
* Fix style as per ci-bot

* add trim function to `Spec` and `--ignore` option to 'spack diff'
Allows user to compare two specs while ignoring the sub-DAG of a particular dependency, e.g.
spack diff --ignore=mpi --ignore=zlib trilinos/abcdef trilinos/fedcba
to focus on differences closer to the root of the software stack
Sometimes env variables computed in `setup_run_environment` depend on tests
w.r.t. files in `spec.prefix`, but Spack temporarily projects `spec.prefix` to
the view.
This is problematic for two reasons:
1. Some packages iterate over `<prefix>/bin`: they expect only the current
package's executables, but find all linked in the view, leading to false
positives.
2. Some packages test for `os.path.islink(...)`, which is always true in a view
`gcc` is an example that does both.
This PR lets Spack compute the environment modifications using the original
prefix, and projects to the view afterwards
Currently, a virtual spec is composed of just a name and a version. When a virtual spec contains other components, such as variants, Spack won't emit warnings or errors but will silently drop them - which is unexpected by users.
This adds three new versions in the 31.* series. Release notes of 31.0.0 at https://github.com/acts-project/acts/releases/tag/v31.0.0. No changes to the CMakeLists.txt files that need addressing in the package recipe.
The only new feature I'm a bit concerned about is https://github.com/acts-project/acts/pull/2626, which replaces testing for C++20 concepts support by the feature-testing macro `__cpp_concepts`, which is also a C++20 feature. So technically we now should require `cxxstd=20` even though Acts itself still allows (and defaults to) 17. Judging by https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/20, the support for feature-testing macros was added very early by most compilers.
This PR changes the default behavior of `spack config get` and `spack config blame`
to print a flattened version of the entire spack configuration, including any active
environment, if the commands are invoked with no section arguments.
The new behavior is used in Gitlab CI to help debug CI configuration, but it can also
be useful when asking for more information in issues, or when simply debugging Spack.
Convert the 'develop' section of an environment to a dedicated configuration section.
This means for example that instead of having to define `develop` specs in the
`spack.yaml`, the environment can `include:` another `develop.yaml` configuration
which specifies which specs should be developed in the environment.
This change is not expected to be disruptive given that existing environment `spack.yaml`
files will conform to the new schema.
(Update 11/28/2023) I have implemented the `develop`/`undevelop` commands in terms
of more-generic modification functions added to the `config` module: `change_or_add`
and `update_all`. It is assumed that the semantics added here (described in 11/18 update)
would be desirable to extend to other config update actions (e.g. adding compilers,
changing package requirements, adding mirrors).
(Update 11/18/2023) I have updated this such that `spack develop`, and
`spack undevelop` to potentially modify all writable scopes, like
https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/41147. https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/35307
will be useful for modifying included scopes, but generally speaking specifying a
`--scope` will not be required for `spack develop`: `spack develop` will add new
develop specs to whatever scope already has develop specs defined, or to the
highest-priority writable scope (which should be the env scope).
TODOs:
- [x] If you `spack undevelop` a package which is mentioned at multiple layers of
configuration, then currently this would only modify one of them. That's not
technically a new issue (has always existed for configuration modification), but
may be confusing to users when presented via an interface other than `spack config set`
- [x] Need to add (or confirm) the ability to modify individual config files by providing
a path (rather than using a scope identifier as a key to retrieve associated config).
- [x] `spack develop` adds new develop specs to the scope that defines them
(potentially skipping higher priority scopes to e.g. augment included scope files)
