- Simplify interface to log_output. New interface requires only one
context handler instead of two. Before:
with log_output('logfile.txt') as log_redirection:
with log_redirection:
# do things ... output will be logged
After:
with log_output('logfile.txt'):
# do things ... output will be logged
If you also want the output to be echoed to ``stdout``, use the
`echo` parameter::
with log_output('logfile.txt', echo=True):
# do things ... output will be logged and printed out
And, if you just want to echo *some* stuff from the parent, use
``force_echo``:
with log_output('logfile.txt', echo=False) as logger:
# do things ... output will be logged
with logger.force_echo():
# things here will be echoed *and* logged
A key difference between this and the previous implementation is that
*everything* in the context handler is logged. Previously, things like
`Executing phase 'configure'` would not be logged, only output to the
screen, so understanding phases in the build log was difficult.
- The implementation of `log_output()` is different in two major ways:
1. This implementation avoids race cases by using only one pipe (before
we had a multiprocessing pipe and a unix pipe). The logger daemon
stops naturally when the input stream is closed, which avoids a race
in the previous implementation where we'd miss some lines of output
because the parent would shut the daemon down before it was done
with all output.
2. Instead of turning output redirection on and off, which prevented
some things from being logged, this version uses control characters
in the output stream to enable/disable forced echoing. We're using
the time-honored xon and xoff codes, which tell the daemon to echo
anything between them AND write it to the log. This is how
`logger.force_echo()` works.
- Fix places where output could get stuck in buffers by flushing more
aggressively. This makes the output printed to the terminal the same
as that which would be printed through a pipe to `cat` or to a file.
Previously these could be weirdly different, and some output would be
missing when redirecting Spack to a file or pipe.
- Simplify input and color handling in both `build_environment.fork()`
and `llnl.util.tty.log.log_output()`. Neither requires an input_stream
parameter anymore; we assume stdin will be forwarded if possible.
- remove `llnl.util.lang.duplicate_stream()` and remove associated
monkey-patching in tests, as these aren't needed if you just check
whether stdin is a tty and has a fileno attribute.

Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many configurations of the same package can coexist.
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software all the ways you want to.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python. Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/llnl/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install libelf

Contributions
Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a
pull request.
When you send your request, make develop the destination branch on the
Spack repository.
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with Travis CI. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack uses a rough approximation of the
Git Flow
branching model. The develop branch contains the latest
contributions, and master is always tagged and points to the latest
stable release.
