Currently, version range constraints, compiler version range constraints,
and target range constraints are implemented by generating ground rules
from `asp.py`, via `one_of_iff()`. The rules look like this:
```
version_satisfies("python", "2.6:") :- 1 { version("python", "2.4"); ... } 1.
1 { version("python", "2.4"); ... } 1. :- version_satisfies("python", "2.6:").
```
So, `version_satisfies(Package, Constraint)` is true if and only if the
package is assigned a version that satisfies the constraint. We
precompute the set of known versions that satisfy the constraint, and
generate the rule in `SpackSolverSetup`.
We shouldn't need to generate already-ground rules for this. Rather, we
should leave it to the grounder to do the grounding, and generate facts
so that the constraint semantics can be defined in `concretize.lp`.
We can replace rules like the ones above with facts like this:
```
version_satisfies("python", "2.6:", "2.4")
```
And ground them in `concretize.lp` with rules like this:
```
1 { version(Package, Version) : version_satisfies(Package, Constraint, Version) } 1
:- version_satisfies(Package, Constraint).
version_satisfies(Package, Constraint)
:- version(Package, Version), version_satisfies(Package, Constraint, Version).
```
The top rule is the same as before. It makes conditional dependencies and
other places where version constraints are used work properly. Note that
we do not need the cardinality constraint for the second rule -- we
already have rules saying there can be only one version assigned to a
package, so we can just infer from `version/2` `version_satisfies/3`.
This form is also safe for grounding -- If we used the original form we'd
have unsafe variables like `Constraint` and `Package` -- the original
form only really worked when specified as ground to begin with.
- [x] use facts instead of generating rules for package version constraints
- [x] use facts instead of generating rules for compiler version constraints
- [x] use facts instead of generating rules for target range constraints
- [x] remove `one_of_iff()` and `iff()` as they're no longer needed

Spack
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/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install zlib
Documentation
Full documentation is available, or
run spack help or spack help --all.
Tutorial
We maintain a hands-on tutorial. It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a Docker container.
Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization about Spack.
Community
Spack is an open source project. Questions, discussion, and contributions are welcome. Contributions can be anything from new packages to bugfixes, documentation, or even new core features.
Resources:
- Slack workspace: spackpm.slack.com. To get an invitation, click here.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/spack
- Twitter: @spackpm. Be sure to
@mentionus!
Contributing
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 our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack's develop branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests
should target develop, and users who want the latest package versions,
features, etc. can use develop.
Releases
For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable software installations, we recommend using Spack's stable releases.
Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g.
releases/v0.14 has 0.14.x versions of Spack, and releases/v0.13 has
0.13.x versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but
we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would
change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch.
So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and git pull
to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with develop.
The latest release is always available with the releases/latest tag.
See the docs on releases for more details.
