-When running the CI build using the command ``spack ci rebuild`` a number of directories are created for
-storing data generated during the CI job. The default root directory for artifacts is ``job_scratch_root``.
-This can be overridden by passing the argument ``--artifacts-root`` to the ``spack ci generate`` command
-or by setting the ``SPACK_ARTIFACTS_ROOT`` environment variable in the build job scripts.
-
-The top level directories under the artifact root are ``concrete_environment``, ``logs``, ``reproduction``,
-``tests``, and ``user_data``. Spack does not restrict what is written to any of these directories nor does
-it require user specified files be written to any specific directory.
-
-------------------------
-``concrete_environment``
-------------------------
-
-The directory ``concrete_environment`` is used to communicate the ci generate processed ``spack.yaml`` and
-the concrete ``spack.lock`` for the CI environment.
-
---------
-``logs``
---------
-
-The directory ``logs`` contains the spack build log, ``spack-build-out.txt``, and the spack build environment
-modification file, ``spack-build-mod-env.txt``. Additionally all files specified by the packages ``Builder``
-property ``archive_files`` are also copied here (ie. ``CMakeCache.txt`` in ``CMakeBuilder``).
-

-----------------
-
-The directory ``reproduction`` is used to store the files needed by the ``spack reproduce-build`` command.
-This includes ``repro.json``, copies of all of the files in ``concrete_environment``, the concrete spec
-JSON file for the current spec being built, and all of the files written in the artifacts root directory.
-
-The ``repro.json`` file is not versioned and is only designed to work with the version of spack CI was run with.

----------
-

-data in it depending on the package that was built and the availability of tests.
-
--------------
-``user_data``
--------------
-
-The directory ``user_data`` is used to store everything else that shouldn't be copied to the ``reproduction`` direcotory.
