stage: add $instance path component

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

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

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

-# v0.18.0 (2022-05-28)
-
-`v0.18.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Major features in this release
-
-1. **Concretizer now reuses by default**
-
-   `spack install --reuse` was introduced in `v0.17.0`, and `--reuse`
-   is now the default concretization mode. Spack will try hard to
-   resolve dependencies using installed packages or binaries (#30396).
-
-   To avoid reuse and to use the latest package configurations, (the
-   old default), you can use `spack install --fresh`, or add
-   configuration like this to your environment or `concretizer.yaml`:
-
-   ```yaml
-   concretizer:
-       reuse: false
-   ```
-
-2. **Finer-grained hashes**
-
-   Spack hashes now include `link`, `run`, *and* `build` dependencies,
-   as well as a canonical hash of package recipes. Previously, hashes
-   only included `link` and `run` dependencies (though `build`
-   dependencies were stored by environments). We coarsened the hash to
-   reduce churn in user installations, but the new default concretizer
-   behavior mitigates this concern and gets us reuse *and* provenance.
-   You will be able to see the build dependencies of new installations
-   with `spack find`. Old installations will not change and their
-   hashes will not be affected. (#28156, #28504, #30717, #30861)
-
-3. **Improved error messages**
-
-   Error handling with the new concretizer is now done with
-   optimization criteria rather than with unsatisfiable cores, and
-   Spack reports many more details about conflicting constraints.
-   (#30669)
-
-4. **Unify environments when possible**
-
-   Environments have thus far supported `concretization: together` or
-   `concretization: separately`. These have been replaced by a new
-   preference in `concretizer.yaml`:
-
-   ```yaml
-   concretizer:
-       unify: [true|false|when_possible]
-   ```
-
-   `concretizer:unify:when_possible` will *try* to resolve a fully
-   unified environment, but if it cannot, it will create multiple
-   configurations of some packages where it has to. For large
-   environments that previously had to be concretized separately, this
-   can result in a huge speedup (40-50x). (#28941)
-
-5. **Automatically find externals on Cray machines**
-
-   Spack can now automatically discover installed packages in the Cray
-   Programming Environment by running `spack external find` (or `spack
-   external read-cray-manifest` to *only* query the PE). Packages from
-   the PE (e.g., `cray-mpich` are added to the database with full
-   dependency information, and compilers from the PE are added to
-   `compilers.yaml`. Available with the June 2022 release of the Cray
-   Programming Environment. (#24894, #30428)
-
-6. **New binary format and hardened signing**
-
-   Spack now has an updated binary format, with improvements for
-   security. The new format has a detached signature file, and Spack
-   verifies the signature before untarring or decompressing the binary
-   package. The previous format embedded the signature in a `tar`
-   file, which required the client to run `tar` *before* verifying
-   (#30750). Spack can still install from build caches using the old
-   format, but we encourage users to switch to the new format going
-   forward.
-
-   Production GitLab pipelines have been hardened to securely sign
-   binaries. There is now a separate signing stage so that signing
-   keys are never exposed to build system code, and signing keys are
-   ephemeral and only live as long as the signing pipeline stage.
-   (#30753)
-
-7. **Bootstrap mirror generation**
-
-   The `spack bootstrap mirror` command can automatically create a
-   mirror for bootstrapping the concretizer and other needed
-   dependencies in an air-gapped environment. (#28556)
-
-8. **Nascent Windows support**
-
-   Spack now has initial support for Windows. Spack core has been
-   refactored to run in the Windows environment, and a small number of
-   packages can now build for Windows. More details are
-   [in the documentation](https://spack.rtfd.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#spack-on-windows)
-   (#27021, #28385, many more)
-
-9. **Makefile generation**
-
-   `spack env depfile` can be used to generate a `Makefile` from an
-   environment, which can be used to build packages the environment
-   in parallel on a single node. e.g.:
-
-   ```console
-   spack -e myenv env depfile > Makefile
-   make
-   ```
-
-   Spack propagates `gmake` jobserver information to builds so that
-   their jobs can share cores. (#30039, #30254, #30302, #30526)
-
-10. **New variant features**
-
-    In addition to being conditional themselves, variants can now have
-    [conditional *values*](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#conditional-possible-values)
-    that are only possible for certain configurations of a package. (#29530)
-
-    Variants can be
-    [declared "sticky"](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#sticky-variants),
-    which prevents them from being enabled or disabled by the
-    concretizer. Sticky variants must be set explicitly by users
-    on the command line or in `packages.yaml`. (#28630)
-
-* Allow conditional possible values in variants
-* Add a "sticky" property to variants
-
-
-## Other new features of note
-
-* Environment views can optionally link only `run` dependencies
-  with `link:run` (#29336)
-* `spack external find --all` finds library-only packages in
-  addition to build dependencies (#28005)
-* Customizable `config:license_dir` option (#30135)
-* `spack external find --path PATH` takes a custom search path (#30479)
-* `spack spec` has a new `--format` argument like `spack find` (#27908)
-* `spack concretize --quiet` skips printing concretized specs (#30272)
-* `spack info` now has cleaner output and displays test info (#22097)
-* Package-level submodule option for git commit versions (#30085, #30037)
-* Using `/hash` syntax to refer to concrete specs in an environment
-  now works even if `/hash` is not installed. (#30276)
-
-## Major internal refactors
-
-* full hash (see above)
-* new develop versioning scheme `0.19.0-dev0`
-* Allow for multiple dependencies/dependents from the same package (#28673)
-* Splice differing virtual packages (#27919)
-
-## Performance Improvements
-
-* Concretization of large environments with `unify: when_possible` is
-  much faster than concretizing separately (#28941, see above)
-* Single-pass view generation algorithm is 2.6x faster (#29443)
-
-## Archspec improvements
-
-* `oneapi` and `dpcpp` flag support (#30783)
-* better support for `M1` and `a64fx` (#30683)
-

-
-# v0.17.0 (2021-11-05)
-
-`v0.17.0` is a major feature release.
-
-## Major features in this release
-
-1. **New concretizer is now default**
-   The new concretizer introduced as an experimental feature in `v0.16.0`
-   is now the default (#25502). The new concretizer is based on the
-   [clingo](https://github.com/potassco/clingo) logic programming system,
-   and it enables us to do much higher quality and faster dependency solving
-   The old concretizer is still available via the `concretizer: original`
-   setting, but it is deprecated and will be removed in `v0.18.0`.
-
-2. **Binary Bootstrapping**
-   To make it easier to use the new concretizer and binary packages,
-   Spack now bootstraps `clingo` and `GnuPG` from public binaries. If it
-   is not able to bootstrap them from binaries, it installs them from
-   source code. With these changes, you should still be able to clone Spack
-   and start using it almost immediately. (#21446, #22354, #22489, #22606,
-   #22720, #22720, #23677, #23946, #24003, #25138, #25607, #25964, #26029,
-   #26399, #26599).
-
-3. **Reuse existing packages (experimental)**
-   The most wanted feature from our
-   [2020 user survey](https://spack.io/spack-user-survey-2020/) and
-   the most wanted Spack feature of all time (#25310). `spack install`,
-   `spack spec`, and `spack concretize` now have a `--reuse` option, which
-   causes Spack to minimize the number of rebuilds it does. The `--reuse`
-   option will try to find existing installations and binary packages locally
-   and in registered mirrors, and will prefer to use them over building new
-   versions. This will allow users to build from source *far* less than in
-   prior versions of Spack. This feature will continue to be improved, with
-   configuration options and better CLI expected in `v0.17.1`. It will become
-   the *default* concretization mode in `v0.18.0`.
-
-4. **Better error messages**
-   We have improved the error messages generated by the new concretizer by
-   using *unsatisfiable cores*. Spack will now print a summary of the types
-   of constraints that were violated to make a spec unsatisfiable (#26719).
-
-5. **Conditional variants**
-   Variants can now have a `when="<spec>"` clause, allowing them to be
-   conditional based on the version or other attributes of a package (#24858).
-
-6. **Git commit versions**
-   In an environment and on the command-line, you can now provide a full,
-   40-character git commit as a version for any package with a top-level
-   `git` URL.  e.g., `spack install hdf5@45bb27f58240a8da7ebb4efc821a1a964d7712a8`.
-   Spack will compare the commit to tags in the git repository to understand
-   what versions it is ahead of or behind.
-
-7. **Override local config and cache directories**
-   You can now set `SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG` to disable the `~/.spack` and
-   `/etc/spack` configuration scopes. `SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH` allows you to
-   move caches out of `~/.spack`, as well (#27022, #26735). This addresses
-   common problems where users could not isolate CI environments from local
-   configuration.
-
-8. **Improvements to Spack Containerize**
-   For added reproducibility, you can now pin the Spack version used by
-   `spack containerize` (#21910). The container build will only build
-   with the Spack version pinned at build recipe creation instead of the
-   latest Spack version.
-
-9. **New commands for dealing with tags**
-   The `spack tags` command allows you to list tags on packages (#26136), and you
-   can list tests and filter tags with `spack test list` (#26842).
-
-## Other new features of note
-
-* Copy and relocate environment views as stand-alone installations (#24832)

-  #23777, #25928))
-* `spack python --path` shows which `python` Spack is using (#22006)
-* `spack env activate --temp` can create temporary environments (#25388)
-* `--preferred` and `--latest` options for `spack checksum` (#25830)
-* `cc` is now pure posix and runs on Alpine (#26259)
-* `SPACK_PYTHON` environment variable sets which `python` spack uses (#21222)
-* `SPACK_SKIP_MODULES` lets you source `setup-env.sh` faster if you don't need modules (#24545)
-
-## Major internal refactors

-* Splicing allows Spack specs to store mixed build provenance (#20262)
-* More extensive hooks API for installations (#21930)
-* New internal API for getting the active environment (#25439)

-    (see [archspec#31](https://github.com/archspec/archspec-json/pull/31))
-* `spack arch --generic` lets you get the best generic architecture for
-    your node (#27061)
-* added support for aocc (#20124), `arm` compiler on `graviton2` (#24904)
-    and on `a64fx` (#24524),
-
-## Infrastructure, buildcaches, and services

-:: This is a wrapper around the spack command that forwards calls to
-:: 'spack load' and 'spack unload' to shell functions.  This in turn
-:: allows them to be used to invoke environment modules functions.
-::
-:: 'spack load' is smarter than just 'load' because it converts its
-:: arguments into a unique Spack spec that is then passed to module
-:: commands.  This allows the user to use packages without knowing all
-:: their installation details.
-::
-:: e.g., rather than requiring a full spec for libelf, the user can type:
-::
-::     spack load libelf
-::
-:: This will first find the available libelf module file and use a
-:: matching one.  If there are two versions of libelf, the user would
-:: need to be more specific, e.g.:
-::
-::     spack load libelf@0.8.13

-=======
-Analyze
-=======
-
-
-The analyze command is a front-end to various tools that let us analyze
-package installations. Each analyzer is a module for a different kind
-of analysis that can be done on a package installation, including (but not
-limited to) binary, log, or text analysis. Thus, the analyze command group
-allows you to take an existing package install, choose an analyzer,
-and extract some output for the package using it.
-
-
------------------
-Analyzer Metadata
------------------
-
-For all analyzers, we write to an ``analyzers`` folder in ``~/.spack``, or the
-value that you specify in your spack config at ``config:analyzers_dir``. 
-For example, here we see the results of running an analysis on zlib:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ tree ~/.spack/analyzers/
-    └── linux-ubuntu20.04-skylake
-        └── gcc-9.3.0
-            └── zlib-1.2.11-sl7m27mzkbejtkrajigj3a3m37ygv4u2
-                ├── environment_variables
-                │   └── spack-analyzer-environment-variables.json
-                ├── install_files
-                │   └── spack-analyzer-install-files.json
-                └── libabigail
-                    └── spack-analyzer-libabigail-libz.so.1.2.11.xml
-    
-
-This means that you can always find analyzer output in this folder, and it
-is organized with the same logic as the package install it was run for. 
-If you want to customize this top level folder, simply provide the ``--path``
-argument to ``spack analyze run``. The nested organization will be maintained
-within your custom root.
-
------------------
-Listing Analyzers
------------------
-
-If you aren't familiar with Spack's analyzers, you can quickly list those that 
-are available:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze list-analyzers
-    install_files            : install file listing read from install_manifest.json
-    environment_variables    : environment variables parsed from spack-build-env.txt
-    config_args              : config args loaded from spack-configure-args.txt
-    libabigail               : Application Binary Interface (ABI) features for objects
-
-
-In the above, the first three are fairly simple - parsing metadata files from
-a package install directory to save
-
--------------------
-Analyzing a Package
--------------------
-
-The analyze command, akin to install, will accept a package spec to perform
-an analysis for. The package must be installed. Let's walk through an example
-with zlib. We first ask to analyze it. However, since we have more than one
-install, we are asked to disambiguate:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run zlib
-    ==> Error: zlib matches multiple packages.
-      Matching packages:
-        fz2bs56 zlib@1.2.11%gcc@7.5.0 arch=linux-ubuntu18.04-skylake
-        sl7m27m zlib@1.2.11%gcc@9.3.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-skylake
-      Use a more specific spec.
-
-
-We can then specify the spec version that we want to analyze:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run zlib/fz2bs56
-
-If you don't provide any specific analyzer names, by default all analyzers 
-(shown in the ``list-analyzers`` subcommand list) will be run. If an analyzer does not
-have any result, it will be skipped. For example, here is a result running for
-zlib:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ls ~/.spack/analyzers/linux-ubuntu20.04-skylake/gcc-9.3.0/zlib-1.2.11-sl7m27mzkbejtkrajigj3a3m37ygv4u2/
-    spack-analyzer-environment-variables.json
-    spack-analyzer-install-files.json
-    spack-analyzer-libabigail-libz.so.1.2.11.xml
-
-If you want to run a specific analyzer, ask for it with `--analyzer`. Here we run
-spack analyze on libabigail (already installed) _using_ libabigail1
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --analyzer abigail libabigail
-
-
-.. _analyze_monitoring:
-
-----------------------
-Monitoring An Analysis
-----------------------
-
-For any kind of analysis, you can
-use a `spack monitor <https://github.com/spack/spack-monitor>`_ "Spackmon"
-as a server to upload the same run metadata to. You can
-follow the instructions in the `spack monitor documentation <https://spack-monitor.readthedocs.org>`_
-to first create a server along with a username and token for yourself.
-You can then use this guide to interact with the server.
-
-You should first export our spack monitor token and username to the environment:
-
-.. code-block:: console
- 
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-
-By default, the host for your server is expected to be at ``http://127.0.0.1``
-with a prefix of ``ms1``, and if this is the case, you can simply add the
-``--monitor`` flag to the install command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --monitor wget
-
-If you need to customize the host or the prefix, you can do that as well:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack analyze run --monitor --monitor-prefix monitor --monitor-host https://monitor-service.io wget
-
-If your server doesn't have authentication, you can skip it:

-Spack can bootstrap some of its dependencies, including ``clingo``. In fact, there
-is an entire command dedicated to the management of every aspect of bootstrapping:
-
-.. command-output:: spack bootstrap --help
-
-The first thing to know to understand bootstrapping in Spack is that each of
-Spack's dependencies is bootstrapped lazily; i.e. the first time it is needed and
-can't be found. You can readily check if any prerequisite for using Spack
-is missing by running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap status
-   Spack v0.17.1 - python@3.8
-
-   [FAIL] Core Functionalities
-     [B] MISSING "clingo": required to concretize specs
-
-   [FAIL] Binary packages
-     [B] MISSING "gpg2": required to sign/verify buildcaches
-
-
-   Spack will take care of bootstrapping any missing dependency marked as [B]. Dependencies marked as [-] are instead required to be found on the system.
-
-In the case of the output shown above Spack detected that both ``clingo`` and ``gnupg``
-are missing and it's giving detailed information on why they are needed and whether
-they can be bootstrapped. Running a command that concretize a spec, like:
-

-

-The Bootstrapping store
------------------------
-
-The software installed for bootstrapping purposes is deployed in a separate store.
-Its location can be checked with the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap root
-
-It can also be changed with the same command by just specifying the newly desired path:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap root /opt/spack/bootstrap
-
-You can check what is installed in the bootstrapping store at any time using:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack find -b
-   ==> Showing internal bootstrap store at "/Users/spack/.spack/bootstrap/store"

-
-In case it is needed you can remove all the software in the current bootstrapping store with:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack clean -b
-   ==> Removing bootstrapped software and configuration in "/Users/spack/.spack/bootstrap"
-
-   % spack find -b

---------------------------------------------
-Enabling and disabling bootstrapping methods
---------------------------------------------
-
-Bootstrapping is always performed by trying the methods listed by:
-
-.. command-output:: spack bootstrap list
-
-in the order they appear, from top to bottom. By default Spack is
-configured to try first bootstrapping from pre-built binaries and to
-fall-back to bootstrapping from sources if that failed.
-
-If need be, you can disable bootstrapping altogether by running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap disable
-
-in which case it's your responsibility to ensure Spack runs in an
-environment where all its prerequisites are installed. You can
-also configure Spack to skip certain bootstrapping methods by *untrusting*
-them. For instance:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap untrust github-actions
-   ==> "github-actions" is now untrusted and will not be used for bootstrapping
-
-tells Spack to skip trying to bootstrap from binaries. To add the "github-actions" method back you can:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap trust github-actions
-
-There is also an option to reset the bootstrapping configuration to Spack's defaults:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   % spack bootstrap reset
-   ==> Bootstrapping configuration is being reset to Spack's defaults. Current configuration will be lost.
-   Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
-   %
-
-----------------------------------------
-Creating a mirror for air-gapped systems
-----------------------------------------
-
-Spack's default configuration for bootstrapping relies on the user having
-access to the internet, either to fetch pre-compiled binaries or source tarballs.

-
-   To register the mirror on the platform where it's supposed to be used run the following command(s):
-     % spack bootstrap add --trust local-sources /opt/bootstrap/metadata/sources
-     % spack bootstrap add --trust local-binaries /opt/bootstrap/metadata/binaries
-
-
-This command needs to be run on a machine with internet access and the resulting folder
-has to be moved over to the air-gapped system. Once the local sources are added using the
-commands suggested at the prompt, they can be used to bootstrap Spack.

-------------------
-CachedCMakePackage
-------------------
-
-The CachedCMakePackage base class is used for CMake-based workflows
-that create a CMake cache file prior to running ``cmake``. This is
-useful for packages with arguments longer than the system limit, and
-for reproducibility.
-
-The documentation for this class assumes that the user is familiar with
-the ``CMakePackage`` class from which it inherits. See the documentation
-for :ref:`CMakePackage <cmakepackage>`.
-
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``CachedCMakePackage`` base class comes with the following phases:
-
-#. ``initconfig`` - generate the CMake cache file
-#. ``cmake`` - generate the Makefile
-#. ``build`` - build the package
-#. ``install`` - install the package
-
-By default, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ mkdir spack-build
-   $ cd spack-build
-   $ cat << EOF > name-arch-compiler@version.cmake
-   # Write information on compilers and dependencies
-   # includes information on mpi and cuda if applicable
-   $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/installation/prefix -C name-arch-compiler@version.cmake
-   $ make
-   $ make test  # optional
-   $ make install
-
-The ``CachedCMakePackage`` class inherits from the ``CMakePackage``
-class, and accepts all of the same options and adds all of the same
-flags to the ``cmake`` command. Similar to the ``CMakePAckage`` class,
-you may need to add a few arguments yourself, and the
-``CachedCMakePackage`` provides the same interface to add those
-flags.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Adding entries to the CMake cache
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In addition to adding flags to the ``cmake`` command, you may need to
-add entries to the CMake cache in the ``initconfig`` phase. This can
-be done by overriding one of four methods:
-
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_compiler_entries``
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_mpi_entries``
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_hardware_entries``
-#. ``CachedCMakePackage.initconfig_package_entries``
-
-Each of these methods returns a list of CMake cache strings. The
-distinction between these methods is merely to provide a
-well-structured and legible cmake cache file -- otherwise, entries
-from each of these methods are handled identically.
-
-Spack also provides convenience methods for generating CMake cache
-entries. These methods are available at module scope in every Spack
-package. Because CMake parses boolean options, strings, and paths
-differently, there are three such methods:
-
-#. ``cmake_cache_option``
-#. ``cmake_cache_string``
-#. ``cmake_cache_path``
-
-These methods each accept three parameters -- the name of the CMake
-variable associated with the entry, the value of the entry, and an
-optional comment -- and return strings in the appropriate format to be
-returned from any of the ``initconfig*`` methods. Additionally, these
-methods may return comments beginning with the ``#`` character.
-
-A typical usage of these methods may look something like this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   def initconfig_mpi_entries(self)
-       # Get existing MPI configurations
-       entries = super(self, Foo).initconfig_mpi_entries()
-
-       # The existing MPI configurations key on whether ``mpi`` is in the spec
-       # This spec has an MPI variant, and we need to enable MPI when it is on.
-       # This hypothetical package controls MPI with the ``FOO_MPI`` option to
-       # cmake.
-       if '+mpi' in self.spec:
-           entries.append(cmake_cache_option('FOO_MPI', True, "enable mpi"))
-       else:
-           entries.append(cmake_cache_option('FOO_MPI', False, "disable mpi"))
-
-   def initconfig_package_entries(self):
-       # Package specific options
-       entries = []
-
-       entries.append('#Entries for build options')
-
-       bar_on = '+bar' in self.spec
-       entries.append(cmake_cache_option('FOO_BAR', bar_on, 'toggle bar'))
-
-       entries.append('#Entries for dependencies')
-
-       if self.spec['blas'].name == 'baz':  # baz is our blas provider
-       entries.append(cmake_cache_string('FOO_BLAS', 'baz', 'Use baz'))
-       entries.append(cmake_cache_path('BAZ_PREFIX', self.spec['baz'].prefix))

-
-CMake uses different RPATHs during the build and after installation, so that executables
-can locate the libraries they're linked to during the build, and installed executables
-do not have RPATHs to build directories. In Spack, we have to make sure that RPATHs are
-set properly after installation.
-
-Spack sets ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` to a list of ``<prefix>/lib`` or ``<prefix>/lib64``
-directories of the spec's link-type dependencies. Apart from that, it sets
-``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=ON``, which should add RPATHs for directories of
-linked libraries not in the directories covered by ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH``.
-
-Usually it's enough to set only ``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=ON``, but the
-reason to provide both options is that packages may dynamically open shared libraries,
-which CMake cannot detect. In those cases, the RPATHs from ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` are
-used as search paths.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Some packages provide stub libraries, which contain an interface for linking without
-   an implementation. When using such libraries, it's best to override the option

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

-LuaPackage
-------------
-
-LuaPackage is a helper for the common case of Lua packages that provide
-a rockspec file.  This is not meant to take a rock archive, but to build
-a source archive or repository that provides a rockspec, which should cover
-most lua packages. In the case a Lua package builds by Make rather than
-luarocks, prefer MakefilePackage.
-
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``LuaPackage`` base class comes with the following phases:
-
-#. ``unpack`` - if using a rock, unpacks the rock and moves into the source directory
-#. ``preprocess`` - adjust sources or rockspec to fix build
-#. ``install`` - install the project
-
-By default, these phases run:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   # If the archive is a source rock
-   $ luarocks unpack <archive>.src.rock
-   $ # preprocess is a noop by default
-   $ luarocks make <name>.rockspec
-
-
-Any of these phases can be overridden in your package as necessary.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Important files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Packages that use the Lua/LuaRocks build system can be identified by the
-presence of a ``*.rockspec`` file in their sourcetree, or can be fetched as
-a source rock archive (``.src.rock``). This file declares things like build
-instructions and dependencies, the ``.src.rock`` also contains all code.
-
-It is common for the rockspec file to list the lua version required in
-a dependency. The LuaPackage class adds appropriate dependencies on a Lua
-implementation, but it is a good idea to specify the version required with
-a ``depends_on`` statement.  The block normally will be a table definition like
-this:
-
-.. code-block:: lua
-
-   dependencies = {
-      "lua >= 5.1",
-   }
-
-The LuaPackage class supports source repositories and archives containing
-a rockspec and directly downloading source rock files.  It *does not* support
-downloading dependencies listed inside a rockspec, and thus does not support
-directly downloading a rockspec as an archive.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Build system dependencies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-All base dependencies are added by the build system, but LuaRocks is run to
-avoid downloading extra Lua dependencies during build.  If the package needs
-Lua libraries outside the standard set, they should be added as dependencies.
-
-To specify a Lua version constraint but allow all lua implementations, prefer
-to use ``depends_on("lua-lang@5.1:5.1.99")`` to express any 5.1 compatible
-version. If the package requires LuaJit rather than Lua,
-a ``depends_on("luajit")`` should be used to ensure a LuaJit distribution is
-used instead of the Lua interpreter. Alternately, if only interpreted Lua will
-work ``depends_on("lua")`` will express that.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Passing arguments to luarocks make
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you need to pass any arguments to the ``luarocks make`` call, you can
-override the ``luarocks_args`` method like so:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def luarocks_args(self):
-        return ['flag1', 'flag2']
-
-One common use of this is to override warnings or flags for newer compilers, as in:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def luarocks_args(self):
-        return ["CFLAGS='-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration'"]

-Multiple Build Systems
-----------------------
-
-Quite frequently, a package will change build systems from one version to the
-next. For example, a small project that once used a single Makefile to build
-may now require Autotools to handle the increased number of files that need to
-be compiled. Or, a package that once used Autotools may switch to CMake for
-Windows support. In this case, it becomes a bit more challenging to write a
-single build recipe for this package in Spack.
-
-There are several ways that this can be handled in Spack:
-
-#. Subclass the new build system, and override phases as needed (preferred)
-#. Subclass ``Package`` and implement ``install`` as needed
-#. Create separate ``*-cmake``, ``*-autotools``, etc. packages for each build system
-#. Rename the old package to ``*-legacy`` and create a new package
-#. Move the old package to a ``legacy`` repository and create a new package
-#. Drop older versions that only support the older build system
-
-Of these options, 1 is preferred, and will be demonstrated in this
-documentation. Options 3-5 have issues with concretization, so shouldn't be
-used. Options 4-5 also don't support more than two build systems. Option 6 only
-works if the old versions are no longer needed. Option 1 is preferred over 2
-because it makes it easier to drop the old build system entirely.
-
-The exact syntax of the package depends on which build systems you need to
-support. Below are a couple of common examples.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Makefile -> Autotools
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Let's say we have the following package:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Foo(MakefilePackage):
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def edit(self, spec, prefix):
-           filter_file("CC=", "CC=" + spack_cc, "Makefile")
-
-       def install(self, spec, prefix):
-           install_tree(".", prefix)
-
-
-The package subclasses from :ref:`makefilepackage`, which has three phases:
-
-#. ``edit`` (does nothing by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-In this case, the ``install`` phase needed to be overridden because the
-Makefile did not have an install target. We also modify the Makefile to use
-Spack's compiler wrappers. The default ``build`` phase is not changed.
-
-Starting with version 1.3.0, we want to use Autotools to build instead.
-:ref:`autotoolspackage` has four phases:
-
-#. ``autoreconf`` (does not if a configure script already exists)
-#. ``configure`` (runs ``./configure --prefix=...`` by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-If the only version we need to support is 1.3.0, the package would look as
-simple as:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Foo(AutotoolsPackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-
-In this case, we use the default methods for each phase and only override
-``configure_args`` to specify additional flags to pass to ``./configure``.
-
-If we wanted to write a single package that supports both versions 1.2.0 and
-1.3.0, it would look something like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Foo(AutotoolsPackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...", deprecated=True)
-
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.2.0 is dropped
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def patch(self):
-           filter_file("CC=", "CC=" + spack_cc, "Makefile")
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def autoreconf(self, spec, prefix):
-           pass
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def configure(self, spec, prefix):
-           pass
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def install(self, spec, prefix):
-           install_tree(".", prefix)
-
-
-There are a few interesting things to note here:
-
-* We added ``deprecated=True`` to version 1.2.0. This signifies that version
-  1.2.0 is deprecated and shouldn't be used. However, if a user still relies
-  on version 1.2.0, it's still there and builds just fine.
-* We moved the contents of the ``edit`` phase to the ``patch`` function. Since
-  ``AutotoolsPackage`` doesn't have an ``edit`` phase, the only way for this
-  step to be executed is to move it to the ``patch`` function, which always
-  gets run.
-* The ``autoreconf`` and ``configure`` phases become no-ops. Since the old
-  Makefile-based build system doesn't use these, we ignore these phases when
-  building ``foo@1.2.0``.
-* The ``@when`` decorator is used to override these phases only for older
-  versions. The default methods are used for ``foo@1.3:``.
-
-Once a new Spack release comes out, version 1.2.0 and everything below the
-comment can be safely deleted. The result is the same as if we had written a
-package for version 1.3.0 from scratch.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Autotools -> CMake
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Let's say we have the following package:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Bar(AutotoolsPackage):
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-
-The package subclasses from :ref:`autotoolspackage`, which has four phases:
-
-#. ``autoreconf`` (does not if a configure script already exists)
-#. ``configure`` (runs ``./configure --prefix=...`` by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-In this case, we use the default methods for each phase and only override
-``configure_args`` to specify additional flags to pass to ``./configure``.
-
-Starting with version 1.3.0, we want to use CMake to build instead.
-:ref:`cmakepackage` has three phases:
-
-#. ``cmake`` (runs ``cmake ...`` by default)
-#. ``build`` (runs ``make`` by default)
-#. ``install`` (runs ``make install`` by default)
-
-If the only version we need to support is 1.3.0, the package would look as
-simple as:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Bar(CMakePackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-
-       def cmake_args(self):
-           return [self.define("BUILD_SHARED_LIBS", True)]
-
-
-In this case, we use the default methods for each phase and only override
-``cmake_args`` to specify additional flags to pass to ``cmake``.
-
-If we wanted to write a single package that supports both versions 1.2.0 and
-1.3.0, it would look something like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Bar(CMakePackage):
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...", deprecated=True)
-
-       def cmake_args(self):
-           return [self.define("BUILD_SHARED_LIBS", True)]
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.2.0 is dropped
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def cmake(self, spec, prefix):
-           configure("--prefix=" + prefix, *self.configure_args())
-
-
-There are a few interesting things to note here:
-
-* We added ``deprecated=True`` to version 1.2.0. This signifies that version
-  1.2.0 is deprecated and shouldn't be used. However, if a user still relies
-  on version 1.2.0, it's still there and builds just fine.
-* Since CMake and Autotools are so similar, we only need to override the
-  ``cmake`` phase, we can use the default ``build`` and ``install`` phases.
-* We override ``cmake`` to run ``./configure`` for older versions.
-  ``configure_args`` remains the same.
-* The ``@when`` decorator is used to override these phases only for older
-  versions. The default methods are used for ``bar@1.3:``.
-
-Once a new Spack release comes out, version 1.2.0 and everything below the
-comment can be safely deleted. The result is the same as if we had written a
-package for version 1.3.0 from scratch.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Multiple build systems for the same version
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-During the transition from one build system to another, developers often
-support multiple build systems at the same time. Spack can only use a single
-build system for a single version. To decide which build system to use for a
-particular version, take the following things into account:
-
-1. If the developers explicitly state that one build system is preferred over
-   another, use that one.
-2. If one build system is considered "experimental" while another is considered
-   "stable", use the stable build system.
-3. Otherwise, use the newer build system.
-
-The developer preference for which build system to use can change over time as
-a newer build system becomes stable/recommended.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Dropping support for old build systems
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-When older versions of a package don't support a newer build system, it can be
-tempting to simply delete them from a package. This significantly reduces
-package complexity and makes the build recipe much easier to maintain. However,
-other packages or Spack users may rely on these older versions. The recommended
-approach is to first support both build systems (as demonstrated above),
-:ref:`deprecate <deprecate>` versions that rely on the old build system, and
-remove those versions and any phases that needed to be overridden in the next
-Spack release.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Three or more build systems
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In rare cases, a package may change build systems multiple times. For example,
-a package may start with Makefiles, then switch to Autotools, then switch to
-CMake. The same logic used above can be extended to any number of build systems.
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-   class Baz(CMakePackage):
-       version("1.4.0", sha256="...")  # CMake
-       version("1.3.0", sha256="...")  # Autotools
-       version("1.2.0", sha256="...")  # Makefile
-
-       def cmake_args(self):
-           return [self.define("BUILD_SHARED_LIBS", True)]
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.3.0 is dropped
-       def configure_args(self):
-           return ["--enable-shared"]
-
-       @when("@1.3")
-       def cmake(self, spec, prefix):
-           configure("--prefix=" + prefix, *self.configure_args())
-
-       # Remove the following once version 1.2.0 is dropped
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def patch(self):
-           filter_file("CC=", "CC=" + spack_cc, "Makefile")
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def cmake(self, spec, prefix):
-           pass
-
-       @when("@:1.2")
-       def install(self, spec, prefix):
-           install_tree(".", prefix)
-
-

-RacketPackage
--------------
-
-Much like Python, Racket packages and modules have their own special build system.
-To learn more about the specifics of Racket package system, please refer to the
-`Racket Docs <https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/cmdline.html>`_.
-
-^^^^^^
-Phases
-^^^^^^
-
-The ``RacketPackage`` base class provides an ``install`` phase that
-can be overridden, corresponding to the use of:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ raco pkg install
-
-^^^^^^^
-Caveats
-^^^^^^^
-
-In principle, ``raco`` supports a second, ``setup`` phase; however, we have not
-implemented this separately, as in normal circumstances, ``install`` also handles
-running ``setup`` automatically.
-
-Unlike Python, Racket currently on supports two installation scopes for packages, user
-or system, and keeps a registry of installed packages at each scope in its configuration files.
-This means we can't simply compose a "``RACKET_PATH``" environment variable listing all of the
-places packages are installed, and update this at will.
-
-Unfortunately this means that all currently installed packages which extend Racket via ``raco pkg install``
-are accessible whenever Racket is accessible.
-
-Additionally, because Spack does not implement uninstall hooks, uninstalling a Spack  ``rkt-`` package
-will have no effect on the ``raco`` installed packages visible to your Racket installation.
-Instead, you must manually run ``raco pkg remove`` to keep the two package managers in a mutually
-consistent state.

-Overriding Local Configuration
-------------------------------
-
-Spack's ``system`` and ``user`` scopes provide ways for administrators and users to set
-global defaults for all Spack instances, but for use cases where one wants a clean Spack
-installation, these scopes can be undesirable. For example, users may want to opt out of
-global system configuration, or they may want to ignore their own home directory
-settings when running in a continuous integration environment.
-
-Spack also, by default, keeps various caches and user data in ``~/.spack``, but
-users may want to override these locations.
-
-Spack provides three environment variables that allow you to override or opt out of
-configuration locations:
-
-* ``SPACK_USER_CONFIG_PATH``: Override the path to use for the
-  ``user`` scope (``~/.spack`` by default).
-* ``SPACK_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH``: Override the path to use for the
-  ``system`` scope (``/etc/spack`` by default).
-* ``SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG``: set this environment variable to completely disable
-  **both** the system and user configuration directories. Spack will only consider its
-  own defaults and ``site`` configuration locations.
-
-And one that allows you to move the default cache location:
-
-* ``SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH``: Override the default path to use for user data
-  (misc_cache, tests, reports, etc.)
-
-With these settings, if you want to isolate Spack in a CI environment, you can do this::

-  export SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG=true
-  export SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH=/tmp/spack

-------------------------------------------
-Generating Depfiles from Environments
-------------------------------------------
-
-Spack can generate ``Makefile``\s to make it easier to build multiple
-packages in an environment in parallel. Generated ``Makefile``\s expose
-targets that can be included in existing ``Makefile``\s, to allow
-other targets to depend on the environment installation.
-
-A typical workflow is as follows:
-
-.. code:: console
-
-   spack env create -d .
-   spack -e . add perl
-   spack -e . concretize
-   spack -e . env depfile > Makefile
-   make -j64
-
-This generates a ``Makefile`` from a concretized environment in the
-current working directory, and ``make -j64`` installs the environment,
-exploiting parallelism across packages as much as possible. Spack
-respects the Make jobserver and forwards it to the build environment
-of packages, meaning that a single ``-j`` flag is enough to control the
-load, even when packages are built in parallel.
-
-By default the following phony convenience targets are available:
-
-- ``make all``: installs the environment (default target);
-- ``make fetch-all``: only fetch sources of all packages;
-- ``make clean``: cleans files used by make, but does not uninstall packages.
-
-.. tip::
-
-   GNU Make version 4.3 and above have great support for output synchronization
-   through the ``-O`` and ``--output-sync`` flags, which ensure that output is
-   printed orderly per package install. To get synchronized output with colors,
-   use ``make -j<N> SPACK_COLOR=always --output-sync=recurse``.
-
-The following advanced example shows how generated targets can be used in a
-``Makefile``:
-
-.. code:: Makefile
-
-   SPACK ?= spack
-
-   .PHONY: all clean fetch env
-
-   all: env
-
-   spack.lock: spack.yaml
-   	$(SPACK) -e . concretize -f
-
-   env.mk: spack.lock
-   	$(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix spack
-   
-   fetch: spack/fetch
-   	$(info Environment fetched!)
-
-   env: spack/env
-   	$(info Environment installed!)
-
-   clean:
-   	rm -rf spack.lock env.mk spack/
-
-   ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
-   include env.mk
-   endif
-
-When ``make`` is invoked, it first "remakes" the missing include ``env.mk``
-from its rule, which triggers concretization. When done, the generated targets
-``spack/fetch`` and ``spack/env`` are available. In the above
-example, the ``env`` target uses the latter as a prerequisite, meaning
-that it can make use of the installed packages in its commands.
-
-As it is typically undesirable to remake ``env.mk`` as part of ``make clean``,
-the include is conditional.
-
-.. note::
-
-   When including generated ``Makefile``\s, it is important to use
-   the ``--make-target-prefix`` flag and use the non-phony targets
-   ``<target-prefix>/env`` and ``<target-prefix>/fetch`` as
-   prerequisites, instead of the phony targets ``<target-prefix>/all``
-   and ``<target-prefix>/fetch-all`` respectively.

-Bootstrapping clingo

-
-Spack uses ``clingo`` under the hood to resolve optimal versions and variants of

-Spack has to install it on initial use, which is called bootstrapping.
-
-Spack provides two ways of bootstrapping ``clingo``: from pre-built binaries
-(default), or from sources. The fastest way to get started is to bootstrap from
-pre-built binaries.
-
-.. note::
-
-   When bootstrapping from pre-built binaries, Spack currently requires 
-   ``patchelf`` on Linux and ``otool`` on macOS. If ``patchelf`` is not in the
-   ``PATH``, Spack will build it from sources, and a C++ compiler is required.
-
-The first time you concretize a spec, Spack will bootstrap in the background:

-   real	0m20.023s
-   user	0m18.351s
-   sys	0m0.784s

-Spack On Windows

-Windows support for Spack is currently under development. While this work is still in an early stage,
-it is currently possible to set up Spack and perform a few operations on Windows.  This section will guide
-you through the steps needed to install Spack and start running it on a fresh Windows machine. 
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Step 1: Install prerequisites
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To use Spack on Windows, you will need the following packages:
-
-Required:
-* Microsoft Visual Studio
-* Python 
-* Git
-
-Optional:
-* Intel Fortran (needed for some packages)
-
-.. note::
-
-  Currently MSVC is the only compiler tested for C/C++ projects. Intel OneAPI provides Fortran support.
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""
-Microsoft Visual Studio
-"""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-Microsoft Visual Studio provides the only Windows C/C++ compiler that is currently supported by Spack.
-
-We require several specific components to be included in the Visual Studio installation.
-One is the C/C++ toolset, which can be selected as "Desktop development with C++" or "C++ build tools,"
-depending on installation type (Professional, Build Tools, etc.)  The other required component is
-"C++ CMake tools for Windows," which can be selected from among the optional packages.
-This provides CMake and Ninja for use during Spack configuration.
-
-If you already have Visual Studio installed, you can make sure these components are installed by
-rerunning the installer.  Next to your installation, select "Modify" and look at the
-"Installation details" pane on the right.
-
-"""""""""""""
-Intel Fortran
-"""""""""""""
-
-For Fortran-based packages on Windows, we strongly recommend Intel's oneAPI Fortran compilers.
-The suite is free to download from Intel's website, located at 
-https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/components/fortran-compiler.html#gs.70t5tw.
-The executable of choice for Spack will be Intel's Beta Compiler, ifx, which supports the classic
-compiler's (ifort's) frontend and runtime libraries by using LLVM.
-
-""""""
-Python
-""""""
-
-As Spack is a Python-based package, an installation of Python will be needed to run it.
-Python 3 can be downloaded and installed from the Windows Store, and will be automatically added
-to your ``PATH`` in this case.
-
-.. note::
-   Spack currently supports Python versions later than 3.2 inclusive.
-
-"""
-Git
-"""
-
-A bash console and GUI can be downloaded from https://git-scm.com/downloads.
-If you are unfamiliar with Git, there are a myriad of resources online to help
-guide you through checking out repositories and switching development branches.
-
-When given the option of adjusting your ``PATH``, choose the ``Git from the
-command line and also from 3rd-party software`` option. This will automatically
-update your ``PATH`` variable to include the ``git`` command.
-
-Spack support on Windows is currently dependent on installing the Git for Windows project
-as the project providing Git support on Windows. This is additionally the recommended method
-for installing Git on Windows, a link to which can be found above. Spack requires the
-utilities vendored by this project.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Step 2: Install and setup Spack
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-We are now ready to get the Spack environment set up on our machine. We
-begin by using Git to clone the Spack repo, hosted at https://github.com/spack/spack.git
-into a desired directory, for our purposes today, called ``spack_install``.
-
-In order to install Spack with Windows support, run the following one liner
-in a Windows CMD prompt.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
-
-.. note::
-   If you chose to install Spack into a directory on Windows that is set up to require Administrative
-   Privleges, Spack will require elevated privleges to run.
-   Administrative Privleges can be denoted either by default such as
-   ``C:\Program Files``, or aministrator applied administrative restrictions
-   on a directory that spack installs files to such as ``C:\Users``
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Step 3: Run and configure Spack
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To use Spack, run ``bin\spack_cmd.bat`` (you may need to Run as Administrator) from the top-level spack
-directory. This will provide a Windows command prompt with an environment properly set up with Spack
-and its prerequisites. If you receive a warning message that Python is not in your ``PATH``
-(which may happen if you installed Python from the website and not the Windows Store) add the location
-of the Python executable to your ``PATH`` now. You can permanently add Python to your ``PATH`` variable
-by using the ``Edit the system environment variables`` utility in Windows Control Panel.
-
-.. note::
-   Alternatively, Powershell can be used in place of CMD
-
-To configure Spack, first run the following command inside the Spack console:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   spack compiler find
-
-This creates a ``.staging`` directory in our Spack prefix, along with a ``windows`` subdirectory
-containing a ``compilers.yaml`` file. On a fresh Windows install with the above packages
-installed, this command should only detect Microsoft Visual Studio and the Intel Fortran
-compiler will be integrated within the first version of MSVC present in the ``compilers.yaml``
-output.
-
-Spack provides a default ``config.yaml`` file for Windows that it will use unless overridden.
-This file is located at ``etc\spack\defaults\windows\config.yaml``. You can read more on how to
-do this and write your own configuration files in the :ref:`Configuration Files<configuration>` section of our
-documentation. If you do this, pay particular attention to the ``build_stage`` block of the file
-as this specifies the directory that will temporarily hold the source code for the packages to
-be installed. This path name must be sufficiently short for compliance with cmd, otherwise you
-will see build errors during installation (particularly with CMake) tied to long path names.
-
-To allow Spack use of external tools and dependencies already on your system, the
-external pieces of software must be described in the ``packages.yaml`` file.
-There are two methods to populate this file:
-
-The first and easiest choice is to use Spack to find installation on your system. In
-the Spack terminal, run the following commands:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   spack external find cmake
-   spack external find ninja
-
-The ``spack external find <name>`` will find executables on your system
-with the same name given. The command will store the items found in
-``packages.yaml`` in the ``.staging\`` directory.
-
-Assuming that the command found CMake and Ninja executables in the previous
-step, continue to Step 4. If no executables were found, we may need to manually direct spack towards the CMake
-and Ninja installations we set up with Visual Studio. Therefore, your ``packages.yaml`` file will look something
-like this, with possibly slight variants in the paths to CMake and Ninja:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   packages:
-     cmake:
-       externals:
-       - spec: cmake@3.19
-         prefix: 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake'
-       buildable: False
-     ninja:
-       externals:
-       - spec: ninja@1.8.2
-         prefix: 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\Ninja'
-       buildable: False
-
-You can also use an separate installation of CMake if you have one and prefer
-to use it. If you don't have a path to Ninja analogous to the above, then you can
-obtain it by running the Visual Studio Installer and following the instructions
-at the start of this section. Also note that .yaml files use spaces for indentation
-and not tabs, so ensure that this is the case when editing one directly.
-
-
-.. note:: Cygwin
-   The use of Cygwin is not officially supported by Spack and is not tested.
-   However Spack will not throw an error, so use if choosing to use Spack
-   with Cygwin, know that no functionality is garunteed.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Step 4: Use Spack
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Once the configuration is complete, it is time to give the installation a test.  Install a basic package though the
-Spack console via:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   spack install cpuinfo
-
-If in the previous step, you did not have CMake or Ninja installed, running the command above should boostrap both packages
-
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-Windows Compatible Packages

-
-Many Spack packages are not currently compatible with Windows, due to Unix
-dependencies or incompatible build tools like autoconf. Here are several
-packages known to work on Windows:
-
-* abseil-cpp
-* clingo
-* cpuinfo
-* cmake
-* glm
-* nasm
-* netlib-lapack (requires Intel Fortran)

+Known Issues
+============
+
+This is a list of known bugs in Spack. It provides ways of getting around these
+problems if you encounter them.
+
+---------------------------------------------------
+Variants are not properly forwarded to dependencies
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+**Status:** Expected to be fixed by Spack's new concretizer
+
+Sometimes, a variant of a package can also affect how its dependencies are
+built. For example, in order to build MPI support for a package, it may
+require that its dependencies are also built with MPI support. In the
+``package.py``, this looks like:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   depends_on('hdf5~mpi', when='~mpi')
+   depends_on('hdf5+mpi', when='+mpi')
+
+Spack handles this situation properly for *immediate* dependencies, and
+builds ``hdf5`` with the same variant you used for the package that
+depends on it. However, for *indirect* dependencies (dependencies of
+dependencies), Spack does not backtrack up the DAG far enough to handle
+this. Users commonly run into this situation when trying to build R with
+X11 support:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install r+X
+   ...

+depends_on cannot handle recursive dependencies
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+**Status:** Not yet a work in progress
+
+Although ``depends_on`` can handle any aspect of Spack's spec syntax,
+it currently cannot handle recursive dependencies. If the ``^`` sigil
+appears in a ``depends_on`` statement, the concretizer will hang.
+For example, something like:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   depends_on('mfem+cuda ^hypre+cuda', when='+cuda')
+
+
+should be rewritten as:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   depends_on('mfem+cuda', when='+cuda')
+   depends_on('hypre+cuda', when='+cuda')

-You can use a `spack monitor <https://github.com/spack/spack-monitor>`_ "Spackmon"

-for provenance, research, or some other kind of development. You should

-to first create a server along with a username and token for yourself.
-You can then use this guide to interact with the server.
-

-Analysis Monitoring

-
-To read about how to monitor an analysis (meaning you want to send analysis results
-to a server) see :ref:`analyze_monitoring`.
-
----------------------
-Monitoring An Install
----------------------
-
-Since an install is typically when you build packages, we logically want
-to tell spack to monitor during this step. Let's start with an example
-where we want to monitor the install of hdf5. Unless you have disabled authentication
-for the server, we first want to export our spack monitor token and username to the environment:
-
-.. code-block:: console
- 
-    $ export SPACKMON_TOKEN=50445263afd8f67e59bd79bff597836ee6c05438
-    $ export SPACKMON_USER=spacky
-
-
-By default, the host for your server is expected to be at ``http://127.0.0.1``
-with a prefix of ``ms1``, and if this is the case, you can simply add the
-``--monitor`` flag to the install command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor hdf5
-
-
-If you need to customize the host or the prefix, you can do that as well:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-prefix monitor --monitor-host https://monitor-service.io hdf5
-
-
-As a precaution, we cut out early in the spack client if you have not provided
-authentication credentials. For example, if you run the command above without
-exporting your username or token, you'll see:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    ==> Error: You are required to export SPACKMON_TOKEN and SPACKMON_USER
-
-This extra check is to ensure that we don't start any builds,
-and then discover that you forgot to export your token. However, if 
-your monitoring server has authentication disabled, you can tell this to
-the client to skip this step:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-disable-auth hdf5
-
-If the service is not running, you'll cleanly exit early - the install will
-not continue if you've asked it to monitor and there is no service.
-For example, here is what you'll see if the monitoring service is not running:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    [Errno 111] Connection refused
-
-
-If you want to continue builds (and stop monitoring) you can set the ``--monitor-keep-going``
-flag. 
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ spack install --monitor --monitor-keep-going hdf5
-
-This could mean that if a request fails, you only have partial or no data
-added to your monitoring database. This setting will not be applied to the
-first request to check if the server is running, but to subsequent requests.
-If you don't have a monitor server running and you want to build, simply
-don't provide the ``--monitor`` flag! Finally, if you want to provide one or
-more tags to your build, you can do:

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

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

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